time code is received, the DCF tower becomes permanently lit
and the time will be displayed.
Daily DCF reception is done at 03:00. If the reception is not
successful at 03:00, then the other reception occurs at 05:00. If
the reception at 05:00 is still not successful, then the next try
will take place the next day.
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
metres.
•
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.
