• Vermeiden Sie es, die Uhr in der Nähe von elektronischen Geräten aufzustellen, die Störungen verursachen könnten (z. B. Fernseher, Computer, Mikrowellen).
• Once synchronized, the signal icon will appear solid, and the time, date, and day of the week will be set automatically.

2.3 Manual Time Setting (If Synchronization Fails)

If the clock fails to synchronize with the DCF-77 signal after an extended period, you can set the time manually.

1. Refer to the operating instructions for specific buttons and steps to enter manual setting mode.
2. Adjust the hour, minute, year, month, day, and language for the weekday display using the designated buttons.

  Check if batteries are inserted correctly with the right polarity. Replace old batteries with new ones.
• Clock Not Synchronizing (Incorrect Time):
  Ensure the clock is placed in an area with good DCF-77 signal reception, away from electronic interference. Try moving the clock to a different location, preferably near a window. Allow several hours for synchronization. If synchronization consistently fails, set the time manually as described in Section 2.3.
