Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) about AMS Radio-Controlled Wall Clocks

Yes. In Central Europe, they synchronize with the DCF77 signal. Daylight saving time changes happen automatically - you don't need to do anything.
Does an AMS radio-controlled clock also work without a signal?
Yes, it then continues running like a quartz watch and corrects itself once reception is available again. In basements or solid buildings, reception may be limited.
Are AMS radio-controlled wall clocks silent?
Many bestsellers work with sweeping second or particularly quiet operation and are practically silent in everyday use. Look for this detail in the product description if you want to furnish the bedroom/study.
What size should an office radio-controlled clock be?

Glass or wood – which is easier to maintain?
Glass/metal is particularly easy to care for (a damp cloth is sufficient). Wood feels warmer and more homely, but should not be exposed to direct sunlight for prolonged periods.
