8.8.1 Correction when MODE = 0
The correction is triggered once per two hours and then correction pulses are applied
once per minute until the programmed correction values have been implemented.

In MODE = 0, any timer or clock output using a frequency below 64 Hz is affected by the
clock correction (see Table 31).
