How to use

If needed, position the clock to improve signal reception (away from large metal objects or strong electronic interference) and select the preferred set of hands for the final appearance.

Usage recommendations

For best reception of the DCF77 time signal, place the finished clock near a window and avoid mounting close to strong electrical sources or large metal surfaces; replace batteries annually or when the movement indicates weak power.
