Opstelling
1. Battery Installasie
- Locate the battery compartment on the back of the alarm clock (refer to Figure 4).
- Maak die batteryvakdeksel oop.
- Insert two AA batteries, ensuring correct polarity (+ and -).
- Maak die batterykompartement se deksel stewig toe.
The display will light up, and the clock will begin searching for the DCF radio signal for automatic time synchronization.
2. Initial Time and Date Synchronization (DCF)
The AK-20 is a radio-controlled clock. Upon battery installation, it will automatically attempt to synchronize with the DCF signal. This process may take several minutes. A signal icon on the display indicates successful reception.
- Plaas die horlosie naby 'n venster vir beter seinontvangs.
- Vermy die plasing daarvan naby elektroniese toestelle wat steuring kan veroorsaak.
3. Manual Time and Date Setting (Optional)
If DCF synchronization is not desired or unsuccessful, you can set the time and date manually:
- Druk en hou die TYD BEREIK knoppie totdat die uursyfers begin flikker.
- Gebruik die - or + knoppies om die uur aan te pas.
- Druk TYD BEREIK weer om die uur te bevestig en na minute oor te skakel.
- Herhaal die proses vir minute, jaar, maand en dag.
- Druk TYD BEREIK een laaste keer om die instellingsmodus te verlaat.
4. Taalkeuse
The device supports multiple languages for day display. To change the language:
- While in normal time display mode, press the - knoppie herhaaldelik.
- The day of the week will cycle through available languages (Dutch, French, German, English, Spanish, Italian, Danish, Russian).
- Stop when your desired language is displayed.
