Time question.

[Bod ...]

I put it to a window facing Cumbria.

Didn't work . Was you having me on?

 

[Roy Bloom]

I doubt it . Eould meatpacking front off and possibly damage it.

It's screwed on.
Turn it anti-clockwise. That's EU anti-clockwise, not British Summer anti-clockwise.

 

[Bod ...]

You've posted in the wqrong forum, Bod. You should have posted in the Horology Forum. I've asked the mods to move it for you.

Your ever so caring Roy.

Thank you.

You're welcome..... for a time.

There's two pins as if to take a plug. ???

Roatate the battery so the wording is the right way up.

Don't think that will work Roy. However it might be one of those damn batteries . Maybe I should get a British one

 

[Bod ...]

This is the living room clock. This doesn't work at all.

The oven display only comes up when pushed so got alot of useless time on my ground floor

I've tried that mate. It's just a hole the Germans put there to fool me.

DCF is 77 Khz Meinburg, Frankfurt, Germany. MSF means it is a standard time frequency receiver.

Basically, it is only designed to work on German time.

You need a clock designed to work from the the UK's Anthorn 60Khz signal, in Cumbria.

No not having you on. I used to have to prop my workplace clocks up in the window to get the correct time when the batteries needed replacing. They wouldn't set to the time signal when they were up on the wall.

However, I apologise, the instructions I posted are from the version of your clock available in this country, which is dual-band.
As @Harry Bloomfield says above, your clock has only DCF stated on the back - it isn't dual-band and will only sync to the German DCF signal.
