Upon battery insertion, the alarm clock will automatically attempt to receive the radio time signal (DCF77 in Europe). This process may take several minutes. During reception, a signal icon (often a tower or antenna symbol) will typically flash on the display.

• Avoid placing it near electronic devices that may cause interference (e.g., TVs, computers, mobile phones).
• Once the signal is successfully received, the time and date will be automatically set and synchronized. The signal icon will appear solid on the display.
• If the signal is not received within a few minutes, try repositioning the clock or manually setting the time (see Section 6.1). The clock will continue to attempt signal reception periodically.
