TO INSTALL / REPLACE BATTERY

The solar wall clock can use either the included 1 x AA Alkaline

rechargeable battery (charged by solar panel) or 1 x AA

Alkaline battery (non-rechargeable; not included).

Important: the battery type selection (rechargeable or

non-rechargeable) must be made BEFORE inserting

the battery into the compartment otherwise it may

cause damage to the clock!

INITIAL SETUP

The included alkaline rechargeable battery should provide you

with many years of service. If your battery needs to be

replaced, we suggest you use a fully charged AA Alkaline.

Rechargeable batteries should be fully charged before inserting

into clock. Alkaline rechargeable batteries are

recommended.

If you choose to use a non-rechargeable battery, the battery

switch MUST be moved to the BATTERY position (not the

SOLAR position). In this position, the solar cells do not charge

the battery.

REGARDLESS OF THE TYPE OF BATTERY INSTALLED,

THE BATTERY SWITCH MUST BE IN THE BATTERY

POSITION WHEN THE BATTERY IS INSERTED.

If a rechargeable battery is used, the battery switch should

be moved to the SOLAR position AFTER it is has been

inserted.

To use the included rechargeable Alkaline battery (charged

by solar panel):

1. Remove the insulation tape.

2. Replace battery cover

3. Remove the black protective foil on the solar panel.

DO NOT SET THE CLOCK.

To use a non-rechargeable alkaline battery:

1. Remove the included rechargeable AA battery from the

compartment.

2. Use the switch to select the alkaline battery (see below).

3. Insert 1 x AA, IEC LCR6, 1.5V Alkaline battery into the

compartment, observing the correct polarity (see marking

inside battery compartment.

4. Replace battery cover

DO NOT SET THE CLOCK.

Note: For best performance, batteries should be replaced at

least once every 2 years to maintain the best running accuracy.

Ensure that the batteries used are new and the correct size.

Please help in the preservation of the

environment and return used batteries to an

authorized depot.

SETUP AFTER CHANGING/REPLACING THE

BATTERY

1. After powering up the solar clock, all LCD segments will

light up briefly and it will show the time (00:00), indoor

temperature, date, and indoor humidity.

2. Next, the DCF time code reception will automatically

start. This takes typically between 3 - 5 minutes in good

conditions. If after 10 minutes the DCF time has not been

received, use the “SET” key to enter the set-up mode to

manually set the Time, Time Zone and Date (see manual

settings below). The clock will continue to search for DCF

at 3am and 5am. When the clock has successfully

connected with DCF signal, it will override the manually

set time and date.

Note: When changing the battery:

1. Be careful that it does not spring free from the

contacts.

Always wait at least 1 minute after removing

battery before re-inserting, otherwise start up

problems may occur.

RADIO CONTROLLED TIME

The time base for the radio controlled time is a Cesium clock

operated by the Physikalisch Technische Bundesanstalt

Braunschweig, which has a time deviation of less than one

second in one million years. The time is coded and transmitted

from Mainflingen near Frankfurt via frequency signal DCF-77

(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 indoor temperature is displayed on the solar wall

clock, the DCF tower icon in the clock display will start flashing

in the LCD. 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.

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.

FUNCTION KEYS

The radio-controlled clock has four easy to use keys:

SET key : To enter into the set mode for the following

functions: time zone, language, hour, minute,

year, month, date, weekday, 12/24h time format

display, ºC/ ºF temperature unit, and solar mode

+key : To change any values in manual set mode

ALM key : To enter into the alarm set mode

To activate/deactivate the alarm

SNZ key : To activate the snooze function during alarm

To exit manual setting modes

brightness is checked every 5 seconds (brightness

detection is not checked during DCF reception)

•

No information will be displayed when the LCD is

OFF, but all the settings and operations will remain,

except for the temperature and humidity

measurements.

•

If the user wants to check data while the display is

automatically turned off, because the environment is

not bright enough, take the clock into a brighter

environment. The display will turn on again.

Important note:

If the environment is dark for 3 consecutive days:

•

The brightness is checked every 30 seconds; it will

resume to be check every 5 seconds once it has

detected that the brightness level is high enough

•

There is no DCF time reception until the level of

brightness is high enough; the DCF reception will restart

once the brightness level is high enough.

If the solar mode setting is OFF:

•

LCD will remain ON constantly.
