Reception problems

The DCF77 radio control signal is transmitted from a
location near Frankfurt am Main and can be received
at a distance of up to 1500 km. However, there are
some obstacles and sources of interference, which may
substantially hinder reception. If your alarm clock does
not correctly receive the DCF77 radio signal, please
place the alarm clock in a different location at your
site. Please note that devices such as computers,
telephones, radios and televisions may cause
electromagnetic radiation which can interfere with the
DCF77 radio signal reception. Other possible
detriments to reception are: strong building insulation
(metal building materials), nearby mountains or
atmospheric interference. It may also be necessary to
replace the batteries.
