SETUP
After activating the batteries, the clock starts automatically to receive the time-signal from the
time transmitter DCF77 located in Germany.
You may also start a new time reception by pressing WAVE at the backside of the clock.
While a time reception is going on, the radio waves of the icon will blink on the display.
A successful reception may take up to 3-10 minutes. After this, the correct time and date will
appear on the display and the steady icon will be shown on the display.
During the reception (blinking icon), the clock can not be operated for manual settings. If you
wish, you may interrupt the time reception temporarily by pressing WAVE. The icon will then
disappear from the display and you may start a manual setting procedure (time, alarms etc).
If the reception of the time signal is not possible within the 3-10 minutes, the ORA will continue
to run as normal quartz clock. During the bad reception attempts, the icon is blinking and
shown without waves. If the full reception cycle is not successful, the icon will then be
deactivated. In such a case we recommend to set the time manually (setting see below in
“MANUAL TIME AND CALENDAR SETTING”).
In any case, the clock will retry new receptions every hour from 1:00 to 7:00 o’clock in the
morning.
Should you live in a time zone different from Central Europe (=Germany), we suggest the
following manual settings:
- If you have no DCF77 reception at all: Set your local time manually
- If you may have DCF77 reception: Set the Time Zone off-set to the time in Germany
(e.g. UK -1 hour, Finland +1 hour). If the clock receives the time during night, it will
then take the received time and add your Time Zone setting. And you will have your
correct local time on the display again, but this time following the highly accurate
DCF77 !

seconds). To stop the alarm, press any key on the backside. The alarm will then sound again
the next day. Such a 24hour alarm interrupt will also happen if no key is pressed within the 2
minutes.
SPECIAL NOTES ABOUT THE RADIO CONTROLLED CLOCK
The time signal DCF 77 is transmitted by the atomic clock in Mainflingen near Frankfurt/Main.
The long-wave transmitter has a range of up to 1500km.
If the time icon is displayed without waves you have reception problems. Please observe
following points:
- There are fewer disturbances in the atmosphere during the night which increases the
likeliness of reception. One reception per day is completely sufficient to ensure the
preciseness of the clock by +/- 1 second
- Make sure that the device is at least 2 meters (8 feet) away from possible sources of
disturbance such as TV, computer, monitor, microwave etc.
- In rooms with concrete or metal walls (e.g. cellar rooms, modern office buildings etc.) the
receipt of the signal may be more difficult due to the shielding. In such cases find a better
location for the device near a window. Sometimes it also helps to simply turn the device by
90°, thereby improving the alignment of the receivi ng antenna.
BATTERY CHANGE
The batteries last for about 8-12 months. Depending on the batteries used this time frame may
be a bit shorter or longer. When the display is getting weaker or when the battery icon appears,
we suggest replacing the batteries to prevent an undesired and unexpected faulty operation or
even an interruption of operation.
Important note on batteries
The ORA is delivered with batteries so that you can immediately put it into operation.
These batteries may not last as long as store bought batteries. As soon as you have to
replace the batteries, we recommend using alkaline batteries.
Never use rechargeable batteries. The output of rechargeable batteries is often not
sufficient for our devices.
Use only new batteries and never combine old batteries with new batteries. Observe polarity
when inserting batteries!
Please remember that used batteries do not belong in domestic trash, they should be disposed
of at designated collection points. Our environment will appreciate it!
CARE OF THE DEVICE
- Do not expose the device to extreme temperatures or direct sunlight over longer
periods.
- Avoid blows and shocks of any kind to the device.
- For cleaning use a dry soft cloth that you have moistened with water and a very
mild cleaning agent. Never use volatile substances such as benzene, thinner,
cleansing agents in spray cans etc.
- When the device is not being used store it in a dry area and out of the reach of
small children. In such cases it is important to remove the batteries!
- If the device is activated under extreme coldness it may occur that the display
becomes illegible. As soon as it is returned to a warm environment the device
will function normally again.
- Please keep the Instruction Manual and other documents delivered with the
device stored carefully so that you can reference them at a later point if
necessary.
- Important: All disposal fees in Switzerland (vRG) as well as in the EU (WEEE) for all Irox
devices are covered.
