The DCF77 signal transmits 3 parity bits in its data stream. This messages is generated when the check fails. This happens usually when the reception is sub-optimal and bit errors occur. Occasional errors are harmless. If this message is interfering with the opration of your embedded system you should only disable the output of the message - not the check.
