Radio controlled clock an hour fast

Have I missed something? Brian

Actually this thread goes back to 2015 as I recall, as I said previously am I missing something here? Has there been a rip in the space time continuum while I had my tea? Brian

Tuned to an extra-planetary time transmission rather than Mainflingen as he thought?

It is obviously a remainer clock as it's running to Central European Time.

Not necessarily, Harry. The IAN 100706 is adjustable.

I didn't see the OP's post, but here's what it says in the instructions about setting the time zone, p.9:

"Press and keep pressing the DOWN* button for about 2 seconds. The time zone symbol F# is displayed. Press and keep pressing the SET** button for about 3 seconds. The hour display flashes. Press the UP*** or DOWN button to set the required hour value. Press the SET button to confirm your setting. NOTE: Press and keep pressing the DOWN button for about 2 seconds to deactivate the time zone function."

  • 4th from the left when viewed from the back.
** 1st on the left when viewed from the back. *** 3rd from the left when viewed from the back. # RHS of top display, viewed from the front, just above the seconds counter.

It probably is locking onto DCF77 in Germany with a default of CET if it is an Aldi/Lidl special. I have one that does the exactly same every time I replace the batteries in it (not the exact same model).

If it used MSF60 (formerly Rugby) it would be on GMT now.

Aye, looks like four YEARS slow to me.

I didn't think that even harry was dumb enough not to notice the date of the OP, but there again ...

Before Brexit? Oh, _that_ sort of remainer! LOL! I read it as 'remainder', i.e. a batch of clocks that Lidl was selling off cheap because they weren't adjustable, which I think was what was being discussed in the 2015 post.

NEVER HAD A PROBLEM WITH MY LIDL CLOCK UNTIL I CHANGED THE BATTERIES AND NOW IT JUMPS AN HOUR BUT THERE MUST BE A WAY TO STOP IT BECAUSE ITS NOT THE FIRST TIME I HAVE CHANGED THE BATTERIES

HAVE YOU TRIED SETTING THE CORRECT TIMEZONE?

Have you tried typing like a normal person rather than a demented idiot? All capitals are *not* more legible than mixed case.

I assumed the previous poster was a long distance away as he was shouting so responded likewise.

He was certainly replying to a post made a long time ago in 2015.
