• Make sure that the battery is neither short-circuited nor thrown into a fire. There is a risk of
explosion!
• Do not recharge normal batteries. There is a risk of explosion! Only charge rechargeable bat-
teries which are intended for this purpose; use a suitable battery charger.
• If the watch is not to be used for a longer period (e.g. storage), remove the battery. Old bat-

Explanation of the functions
The radio signal (DCF) for the exact time in Germany is encrypted and sent out by a transmitter
in Mainflingen near Frankfurt. The transmitter has a range of approximately 1,500 km; under ide-
al ambient conditions even up to 2,000 km. Clocks that are equipped with a radio receiver can
receive and decode the radio signal within this transmission range. Setting the time manually is
not necessary with these clocks (e.g. changing the time from winter to summer time). The
change from winter to summer time or vice-versa is performed within 24 hours, at the latest.
Included in the DCF-Signal is the exact time (theoretical deviation of 1 second in one million
years!) and the date (the date cannot be shown on this radio watch version).
Information before using for the first time
Before using for the first time, check if the radio watch is set to the so-called "Sleeping-Mode".
When you purchase the watch, all its hands point to 12 o'clock, which indicates that it is in the
sleeping mode so as to save energy. To start the watch, hold down any of the keys for about 1
second. Thereafter, the second hand moves quickly to set the internal stored time.
Then follow the steps in this operating manual.
First use
After purchase, please place your radio controlled watch for about 24 to 48 hours besides a win-
dow to obtain the signal.
For best reception, lay the watch with its face down.

Signal reception test
You can test the signal reception, to determine whether or not your watch can receive the time
signal.
• Press "button 2" briefly.
• If the time signal reception is successful, the second hand stops at 12.
• If the reception of the time signal was unsuccessful, the second hand stops at 6.
Setting the time zones
When you travel and, e.g. disembark from a plane, you can the local time zone manually, if your
watch shows the wrong time.
If the watch shows the correct time when you buy it, there is no need to fol-
low the quick start guide.
1) Press and hold "button 1" for about 2 seconds, to initiate a man-
ual signal search.
2) Briefly press "button 2", to show the result, positive or negative,
of the signal search.
Press and hold "button 2" for about 1 second to initiate the cal-
ibration of the second hand.
3) Briefly press "button 3", to display the time zones.
Do not press any buttons, while the second hand is moving quickly.
This radio controlled watch receives the signal from Germany. If there is no
signal available, the watch will continue to work using the last time informa-
tion received.
