Radio-controlled clock with calendar tfa dostmann 60.3552.01 — battery AA, rectangular, black

The tfa dostmann radio-controlled clock with calendar (model 60.3552.01) combines an analogue clock face with a large digital display that shows the weekday and date. Housed in a rectangular black plastic case and powered by a single AA (1.5 V) battery, this clock offers radio time synchronization for automatic, highly accurate timekeeping. Its retro-style appearance suits desks, sideboards or bedside tables and it can also be wall-mounted.

Advantages

The high-contrast analogue dial makes the time easy to read at a glance, while the adjacent digital display provides a clear written weekday and date in selectable languages (German, English, French, Italian or Spanish). The clock receives regular atomic time signals to maintain precise time without manual adjustment. Additional practical features include a backlight for night reading, an alarm with snooze function, and the option to set the time manually if required.

Suitable for

• Home desks and sideboards
• Bedside tables requiring an alarm with snooze
• Offices where a clear analogue time display and automatic date are useful
• Users who prefer analogue time display but need a digital calendar

When it may not be suitable

This clock requires a single AA battery and does not include a mains power option, so it may not be ideal where continuous plug-in power is preferred. Although it supports radio-controlled time setting, reception of the atomic time signal can be limited in areas with strong interference or poor signal coverage.

How to use

Insert a fresh AA battery into the compartment and allow the clock to receive the radio time signal for automatic setting. If reception is poor, set the time manually using the controls on the back.

Activate the backlight as needed to read the display in low light.

Usage recommendations

Place the clock on a stable bedside table or desk for best visibility of both the analogue dial and digital calendar. If you rely on automatic time updates, allow the device several minutes in an unobstructed position to receive the atomic signal; move it closer to a window if reception is weak.
