5.2 Initial Power-On and DCF Signal Reception

Upon inserting the batteries, the clock will automatically power on and begin searching for the DCF radio signal. This process can take several minutes. During this time, the DCF icon (often a radio tower symbol) will flash on the display.

• Place the clock near a window for better signal reception.
• Once the signal is successfully received, the time, date, and day will be set automatically, and the DCF icon will appear steadily on the display.
• The clock will automatically adjust for summer and winter time changes.

If the signal is not received within 10 minutes, the clock will proceed with default settings. You can then manually set the time or wait for the next automatic synchronization attempt (usually hourly or daily).
