Clock TFA-Dostmann 98.1036 Silver

The TFA-Dostmann 98.1036 Silver is a round, radio-controlled alarm clock that receives the exact time via the DCF-77 signal. Powered by a single 1.5 V AA battery and finished in silver, the clock shows time in a 12-hour format and combines classic analog styling with automatic time synchronisation. A backlight keeps the display readable in the dark, and a snooze function allows a short additional rest after the first alarm.

Advantages

The radio-controlled movement ensures accurate timekeeping without manual adjustment after power interruptions or daylight saving changes. The compact dimensions (approx. 109 mm width, 112 mm height) and silver finish make the clock suitable for bedside tables and other rooms. Integrated backlight improves visibility at night and the snooze function adds convenience for staged wake-ups.

Suitable for

• Bedroom bedside table

How to use

Insert a fresh 1.5 V AA battery into the battery compartment following the polarity markings.

Set the alarm time using the alarm dial or control according to the clock’s markings. When the alarm sounds, press the snooze control to pause the alarm for a few minutes or turn off the alarm using the off control. Use the backlight button to illuminate the dial as needed in low light.

Usage recommendations

Place the clock away from strong electromagnetic interference (large electronic devices or metal cabinets) to ensure reliable DCF-77 reception. Replace the battery annually or when the display/backlight weakens to maintain accurate timekeeping and alarm performance.
