DCF-77 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 one million years. The time is coded and transmitted from Mainflingen
near Frankfurt via frequency signal DCF-77 (77.5 kHz) and has a transmitting range of
approximately 1,500 km. Your radio-controlled Weather station receives this signal and
converts it to show the precise time in summer or wintertime. 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 around Frankfurt.
Once the outdoor temperature is displayed on the Weather station after initial set-up, the
DCF tower icon in the clock display will start flashing in the upper left corner. This indicates
that the clock has detected that there is a radio signal present and is trying to receive it.
