RADIO CONTROLLED PROJECTION CLOCK WITH DIGITAL THERMOMETER Instructions manual INTRODUCTION: Congratulations on purchasing this Projection clock with DCF-77 radio-controlled time. The operation of this product is simple and straightforward and by reading this operating manual, users will receive the optimum benefits of all its features.
• • • • • • • Time projection (hour and minute) Projection with adjustable brightness and projection orientation possible Calendar display (weekday, date, month) Alarm setting with snooze function Time zone (±9 hours) Indoor temperature display in degree Celsius LED back-light SETTING UP: The Projection clock can be batteries operated or powered by the provided AC/DC adapter.

. 4. When the batteries are inserted, all the segments of the LCD will light up briefly and a “beep” will sound. The Projection clock will now start receiving the DCF time signal. After approximate 3 to 5 minutes, the DCF time will be displayed. If reception is not successful within approximately 7-10 minutes, the Projection clock will attempt to receive the signal in the next following hour. Your Projection clock is now operational. Note: If the batteries are used as the main power source: 1.
1. 2. 3. 4. Connect the power adapter to a wall socket Insert the adapter into the jack at the bottom of the clock The Projection clock will now start receiving the DCF time signal. After approximate 3 to 5 minutes, the DCF time will be displayed. If reception is not successful within approximately 7-10 minutes, the Projection clock will attempt to receive the signal in the following hour. Your Projection clock is now operational.
BATTERIES POWERED WITH THE USE OF AC/DC ADAPTER If the Projection clock is first powered by batteries and the power adapter is subsequently used for extended period of time, the main power source of the Projection clock will switch to AC/DC power. The batteries will then act as a backup power source in case of power failure.

Note: The projector will only project the current time. It will not project the seconds, date or temperature information. RADIO CONTROLLED TIME: The time base for the radio-controlled time is a Cesium Atomic Clock operated by the Physikalisch Technische Bundesanstalt Braunschweig which has a time deviation of less than one second in every one million years. The time is coded and transmitted from Mainflingen near Frankfurt via frequency signal DCF-77 (77.
towards the general direction of the Frankfurt/Main transmitter (avoid positioning within close proximity of metal frames or structures). Note: Users may be located in areas where atmospheric disturbances are the direct cause for not receiving the DCF-77 frequency signal. During nighttime, atmospheric disturbances are usually less severe and reception is possible in most cases. With a single daily reception, it is adequate for the alarm clock to keep time deviation to below 0.
3. Once the alarm time is set, press the SNOOZE key to confirm and exit or wait approximately 8 seconds for automatic timeout. TO ACTIVATE / DEACTIVATE THE ALARM: Press the AL/HR key. The alarm icon (((•))) will appear/disappear indicating that it is ON or OFF. Note: the maximum duration of the alarm ringing is 1 minute 36 seconds. SNOOZE SETTING: The snooze time is set as default for 5 minutes by the manufacturer.

MANUAL TIME SETTING: Hours Setting (flashing) Minutes Setting (flashing) In some cases after inserting the batteries, the Projection clock may not be able to receive the DCF-77signal. In this situation, the time should be manually set (before manual setting see Checking DCF-77 Reception above). 1. Press and hold the MODE/MIN key firmly while inserting the batteries until the time digits start flashing. 2. Set the time by using the AL/HR and the MODE/MIN keys respectively. 3.
1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. The year digits start flashing. Use the MODE/MIN key to set the year (the range runs from 2000 to 2029). Press the SNOOZE key again to enter the month and date setting (flashing). Use the AL/HR key to set the day and the MODE/MIN key to set the month Press the SNOOZE key again to enter the weekday setting (flashing). Use the MODE/MIN key to set the weekday. Press the SNOOZE key once more to confirm all settings and to exit or do not touch any buttons for around 8 seconds.
BACK-LIGHT: The LED back-light is automatically switched ON when any keys are pressed. The back-light will be switched on for approximately 2 seconds before automatically switching OFF. However, if any of the keys are pressed and held down, then LED back-light will remain ON constantly unit the key is released. BATTERY CHANGE: It is recommended to replace the batteries in the unit on an annual basis. Please help in the preservation of the environment. Return used batteries to an authorised depot.
MAINTENANCE: • • • • • Avoid placing the alarm clock in areas prone to vibration and shock as this may damage and inaccurate readings. Avoid exposure to sudden changes in temperature such as direct sunlight, extreme cold and wet or moist conditions. When cleaning the display and casing, only use a soft damp cloth. Do not use solvents or souring agents as they may mark the LCD and casing. Do not submerge the alarm clock in water. Do not attempt to make any repairs to the alarm clock.
