(77.5 kHz) and has a transmitting range of approximately 1,500 km. Your radio-controlled Weather Station
receives this signal and converts it to show the precise time in summer or wintertime.
The quality of the reception depends greatly on the geographic location. In normal cases, there should be no
reception problems within a 1500km radius of Frankfurt.
Once the outdoor temperature is displayed on the Weather station, the DCF tower icon in the clock display
will start flashing in the upper left corner. This indicates that the clock has detected that there is a radio
signal present and is trying to receive it. When the time code is received, the DCF tower becomes
permanently lit and the time will be displayed.
If the tower icon flashes, but does not set the time or the DCF tower does not appear at all, then please take
note of the following:
• Recommended distance to any interfering sources like computer monitors or TV sets is a minimum of
1.5 - 2 meters.
• Within ferro-concrete rooms (basements, superstructures), the received signal is naturally weakened.
In extreme cases, please place the unit close to a window and/ or point its front or back towards the
Frankfurt transmitter.
• During nighttime, the atmospheric disturbances are usually less severe and reception is possible in
most cases. A single daily reception is adequate to keep the accuracy deviation below 1 second.
