BOXX – Radio-controlled alarm clock with thermometer
Note on radio-controlled time
The time base for the radio-controlled time is a caesium atomic clock operated by the Physikalisch Technische Bundesanstalt
based in Braunschweig (Brunswick), Germany. It has a time deviation of less than one second in one million years. The time is
coded and transmitted from Mainflingen near Frankfurt via the frequency signal DCF-77 (77.5 kHz) and has a transmitting
range of approximately 1,500 km. Your radio clock receives the signal, converts it and always shows the exact time. The
adjustment to Daylight Saving Time (summer/winter time) is automatic. In Daylight Saving Time DST is shown on the display.
The reception quality depends mainly on geographic location. Normally there should be no reception problems within a 1,500
km radius around Frankfurt.
Therefore, please note the following steps:
• The recommended distance to any interfering sources like computer screens or TV sets is at least 1.5 - 2 meters.
• Within concrete walls (reinforced with steel) such as basements, the received signal is naturally weakened. In extreme
cases, please place the unit close to a window to improve reception.
• During night-time, the atmospheric interference is usually less severe and reception is possible in most cases. A single
daily reception is adequate to keep the accuracy deviation under 1 second.

the DCF time (e.g. +1=one hour plus).
