The product was ever in operation and properly delivered synchronisert. In addition to the settings (Time, Date, Dual Time, Alarm, Countdown, Stop) also those time is adjustable, when once a day automatic DCF77 synchronization is to take place. The radio signal is very weak in modern reinforced concrete buildings or mirrored windows buildings naturally. Especially in buildings on the side facing away from the transmitter the signal itself at the window is weak. Even in places where the space and the bump of the longwave radio signal each other temporarily extinguish (fading) it may be advisable to make an attempt at night (propagation conditions vary among other things with the time of day). If Autostart DCF77 synchronization (menu RC = Radio Control time adjustable), and even if you synchronize spontaneously started manually (3sec upper right button. Hold), then the signal strength of the seconds clocked radio signal with the number of strokes before the satellite dish displayed. A dash = Synchronisierversuch but no signal, two stitches = Synchronisierversuch but weak signal. Only through all three flashing dashes synchronize after at least 60 seconds guaranteed. Flashing a long time only 2 strokes (or even just 1 line) so is a synchronization is not possible! Referring to this need consideration, as this product is reliable and a really attractive thing! But if you have at home and also at work poor reception conditions, it is necessary to provide the synchronizing time on the time at which it is in the open (similar to the walk to work). If you have not understood this requirement, you will be disappointed by ANY clock!
