SETTING UP:
The Projection clock can be batteries operated or powered by the provided AC/DC adapter.
BATTERIES INSTALLATION
1. Open the battery cover at the back of the projection clock as indicated above.
2. Checking the correct polarization, insert 2 x AA, IEC LR6, 1.5V Alkaline batteries into the battery
compartment and replace the cover.
3. When the batteries are inserted, all the segments of the LCD will light up briefly and a “beep” will
sound. the Projection clock will now start receiving the DCF time signal. After approximate 3 to 5
minutes, the DCF time will be displayed.
4. If reception is not successful within approximately 7-10 minutes, the PRojection clock will attempt to
receive the signal in the next following hour.
Your projection clock is now operational.
Note:
If the batteries are used as the main power source:
1. Projected image brightness, alarm volume and back-light strength would be weaker.

2. Battery life time would be much less than 1 year.
TO USE THE PROJECTOR POWER ADAPTER
The unit comes with an adapter unit for using the projector for an extended period of time, such as
throughout the night.
To install the adapter:
Important!
Make sure that your household voltage is 230V! Otherwise your projection clock may be
damaged.
1. Connect the power adapter to a wall socket
2. Insert the adapter into the jack at the bottom of the clock
3. The projection clock will now start receiving the DCF time signal. After approximate 3 to 5 minutes, the
DCF time will be displayed.
4. If reception is not successful within approximately 7-10 minutes, the Projection clock will attempt to
receive the signal in the following hour.
Your Projection clock is now operational.
29
Note:
If the Projection clock is powered through the adapter, the projection will be constantly ON at the highest
brightness level unless the brightness level is manually changed to a lower brightness level afterwards. And
the brightness of the projection can be change accordingly to enhance the clarity of the projected time by
pressing the button.
If the Projection clock is battery operated, the projection will be ON at the highest brightness level only when
the SNOOZE button is pressed. The intensity of the brightness level of the projection cannot be changed. If
the SNOOZE is released, the projection will be turned OFF.
BATTERIES POWERED WITH THE USE OF AC/DC ADAPTER
If the Projection clock is first powered by batteries and the power adapter is subsequently used for extended
period of time, the main power source of the projection clock will switch to AC/DC power. The batteries will
then act as a backup power source in case of power failure.
TO RESET THE PROJECTION CLOCK
To reset the Projection clock to the factory default setting or in case of a malfunction, please remove all
batteries from the unit and unplug the AC/DC adapter from any power source. Wait at least for 3 minutes
before powering up the Projection clock again.

HOW TO USE THE PROJECTOR
The projector projects the current time onto a wall or ceiling, preferably within a darkened room. It can be
adjusted forwards and backwards 180º for maximum projection range. The projection image can also be
adjusted to 4 upright positions, each with a rotation of 90º.
To project the time onto a flat surface
1. Point the projection lens in the appropriate direction (max. distance of the projection is 2 meters)
2. Adjust the intensity of the projector light with the button
3. Adjust the projection image in an upright position with the button
Note:
The projector will only project the current time. It will not project the seconds, date or temperature
information.
RADIO CONTROLLED TIME:
The time base for the radio-controlled time is a Cesium Atomic Clock operated by the Physikalisch
Technische Bundesanstalt Braunschweig which has a time deviation of less than one second in every one
million years.
The time is coded and transmitted from Mainflingen near Frankfurt via frequency signal DCF-77 (77.5 khz)
and has a transmitting range of approximately 1,500 km. The Projection clock receives this signal and
converts it to show the precise time and so when within this range the received time is completely accurate.
