The quality of the reception depends greatly on the geographic location. In
normal cases, there should be no reception problems within a 1,500 km radius
of Frankfurt.
DCF reception is done twice daily at 02:00 and 03:00 am. If the reception is
not successful at 03:00 am, then the next reception takes place the next hour
and so on until 06:00am, or until the reception is successful. If the reception is
not successful at 06:00 am, then the next attempt will take place the next day
at 02:00 am.
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 meters.
• 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.
