Please adhere to the following safety instructions for the TCHIBO 622 155:

DANGER to children

• Keep batteries and the product out of the reach of children. If swallowed, batteries can be fatal. If a battery is swallowed, it can cause severe internal burns and lead to death within 2 hours. Therefore, keep both new and old batteries out of the reach of children and pets. If a battery has been swallowed or has got into the body in any other way, seek medical advice immediately.

WARNING – risk of injury

• If a battery has leaked, avoid contact with skin, eyes and mucous membranes. Rinse the affected areas with water and consult a doctor immediately.

• Batteries must not be short-circuited, taken apart, thrown into fire or short-circuited.

CAUTION – material damage

• Only use the type of battery specified in the technical specifications. Remove the batteries from the product when they are flat or if you do not intend to use the product for a longer time. This will help prevent damage caused by leakage.

• Old batteries are more prone to leakage. Remove the batteries as required before inserting them. Danger of overheating!

• Pay attention to the polarity (+/-) being correct when inserting batteries.

• Only replace the battery with the same or an equivalent type. Always replace both batteries at the same time. Do not mix old and new batteries, different types or brands of batteries or batteries with different capacities.

• Do not use rechargeable batteries as these will not provide the correct voltage.

• Do not use caustic, abrasive or solvent-based agents or hard brushes, etc. for cleaning.

To insert or replace the batteries in your TCHIBO 622 155, follow these steps:

1. Push and lift the tab on the battery compartment lid to open it.

2. Insert two LR06 (AA) size batteries in the battery compartment as shown, observing the correct polarity (+/-).

After inserting the batteries into the TCHIBO 622 155, all of the screen’s display elements will flash briefly and the radio-controlled alarm clock will switch to radio reception mode. The radio signal symbol will flash in the upper right section of the display.

The TCHIBO 622 155 alarm clock is fitted with a radio receiver for the DCF77 time signal. The transmitter is located in Mainflingen, near Frankfurt am Main, Germany, and sends a longwave signal on 77.5 kHz in a radius of approx. 1,500 km. The clock receives the time signal several times a day using its built-in antenna. Once the time is set, the alarm clock continues operating on its quartz-controlled movement. The clock corrects the time daily by comparing the received time to the time displayed.

Reception may be limited, but if the clock receives the transmitter’s signals, the built-in time-piece ensures that the correct time is displayed.

If the radio reception is not displayed, you can manually activate it on the TCHIBO 622 155. Press the WAVE button briefly once. The radio signal symbol will appear on the screen. The alarm clock will now look for a radio signal.

The quality of the last time signal received was good and the internal time has been synchronised with the reception signal.

The time signal received is very weak.

The internal time has not been able to synchronise with the time signal.

The time signal could not be received or the time of day was set manually and not synchronised to the transmitter’s signal.

If you are experiencing issues with radio reception on your TCHIBO 622 155, please consider the following information regarding the location and possible sources of interference:

• We recommend placing the radio-controlled alarm clock near the window.

• Do not place the alarm clock on or near sheets of metal.

• Keep the alarm clock at a distance of at least two metres from sources of interference, for example television sets, computers, etc.

• Airports, basements and high-rise buildings are not good reception locations.

• Undisturbed reception is not possible in moving vehicles such as cars or trains.

• The transmitter may shut off temporarily.

• Bad weather can result in reception problems.

To manually adjust the settings on your TCHIBO 622 155, follow these steps:

1. If you do not press a button for longer than 30 seconds, the manual setting mode will terminate automatically and you will need to repeat it again. If you press and hold the UP or DOWN button, the settings will change more quickly.

2. Press the SET button to begin the flash on the screen. To change the values, using the UP and DOWN buttons. Press SET to confirm your entry and move on to the next setting.

3. You can set the following functions one after the other. You can change the values using the UP or DOWN buttons. Press SET to confirm your entry and move on to the next setting.

• Time: 12- or 24-hour format > Time zone (+12/-12) > Hour > Minute > Year > Month > Day > Language for day display.

The language abbreviations will appear in the following order: GER (German) > ENG (English) > ITA (Italian) > FRE (French) > DUT (Dutch) > SPA (Spanish) > DAN (Danish).

• For Germany, for example, set the time difference to 0. If you are in London, for example, set it to -1 hours.

When you have confirmed all the settings, the alarm clock will automatically exit the setting mode.

Follow these steps to set the alarm on your TCHIBO 622 155:

This will silence the alarm and cause it to light up the screen. The alarm will sound again after 5 minutes. You can repeat this procedure as often as you like.

To stop the alarm on the TCHIBO 622 155, press any button except the SNOOZE / LIGHT button. If the alarm is not interrupted or switched off, it will continue to sound for approx. 2 minutes and will then switch itself off for 4 to 8s after this period.

The TCHIBO 622 155 radio-controlled alarm clock jumps from summer to winter time. During the summer time, DST (Daylight Saving Time) will automatically appear in the clock’s secondary display.

On the TCHIBO 622 155, you can have the clock display the measured room temperature in Celsius (°C) or in Fahrenheit (°F). Briefly press the DOWN button to switch between the units.

The TCHIBO 622 155 radio-controlled alarm clock shows a time that is different to the actual time. It can be set to the default settings. This resets all the settings.
