- Place the clock near a window, ideally facing north or northeast, to improve signal reception.
- Avoid placing the clock near electronic devices that may cause interference (e.g., TVs, computers, microwaves).
- Once the signal is received, the clock will automatically set itself to the correct time.

4. Mode d'emploi
4.1. Automatic Time Adjustment
The TFA Dostmann 60.3514 is a radio-controlled clock, meaning it automatically receives the DCF77 time signal broadcast from Mainflingen, Germany. This signal ensures the clock always displays the precise time and automatically adjusts for Daylight Saving Time (summer/winter time changes).
- The clock will typically attempt to synchronize daily, often during the night when interference is minimal.
- No manual adjustment is required for time changes.
4.2. Signal Reception
Optimal signal reception is crucial for accurate timekeeping. Factors affecting reception include:
- Emplacement: Distance from the transmitter (up to 1500 km range).
- Obstacles : Thick walls, metal structures, and other buildings can weaken the signal.
- Interférence électronique: Other electronic devices can disrupt reception.
If the clock fails to synchronize, try relocating it to a different position, preferably near a window, and allow it to attempt synchronization overnight.
5. Entretien
5.1. Remplacement de la batterie
Lorsque les aiguilles de l'horloge cessent de bouger ou que l'heure devient inexacte, il est probablement temps de remplacer la pile.
- Retirez l'horloge du mur.
- Ouvrez le compartiment à piles à l'arrière.
- Retirez la pile AA usagée.
- Insérez une pile AA neuve en respectant la polarité.
