3. Einrichtung und Installation

3.1 Einlegen der Batterie

1. Remove the battery compartment cover on the back of the clock.
2. Insert one (1) AA 1.5V battery, ensuring the correct polarity (+/-).
3. Bringen Sie die Abdeckung des Batteriefachs wieder an.

3.2 Initial Time Synchronization (DCF77)

After inserting the battery, the clock will automatically attempt to receive the DCF77 radio signal. The hands will move to the 12 o'clock position and then begin searching for the signal. This process can take several minutes, or up to 24 hours in areas with weak reception.

• Place the clock near a window or in an open area for best reception.
• Avoid placing it near electronic devices that may cause interference (e.g., TVs, computers, microwaves).
• Sobald das Signal empfangen wird, stellt sich die Uhr automatisch auf die richtige Zeit ein.

To manually initiate a signal search, press the 'REC' (Forced Reception) button on the back of the clock (see Figure 2.2).

3.3 Montage der Uhr

The clock features a central universal hanging system for easy installation.

1. Choose a suitable location on a wall, ensuring it is sturdy enough to support the clock's weight (approx. 1.07 kg).
2. Install a screw or hook into the wall at the desired height.
3. Hängen Sie die Uhr mithilfe des Aufhängeschlitzes auf der Rückseite sicher auf.

• Luftfeuchtigkeit: The right small dial indicates the relative air humidity in percentage (%).

4.3 Manual Time Setting (If Needed)

In rare cases where the DCF77 signal cannot be received (e.g., outside the reception range), you can manually set the time:

1. Press and hold the 'SET' (Manual Setting) button on the back of the clock (see Figure 2.2).
2. The hands will start to move. Release the button when the hands reach the desired time.
3. Note: Manual setting will be overridden once the DCF77 signal is successfully received.
