5. Initial use
Take the product out of the package and remove all the packaging material. Open
the battery compartment of the outdoor sensor and insert two 1.5V AAA batteries.
Then open the battery compartment on the back of the main unit and insert three
1.5V AAA batteries. Alternatively, you can use a 5V power adapter with a USB out
-
put (e.g., the power adapter of a smartphone) and connect it with the USB to DC
coaxial power cable included with the supply. Technical details about the polarity
and the connector type when using a separate power adapter is given in the table
on page 2. For this purpose, plug the mains adapter into a properly installed socket
and then connect it to the coaxial connector at the rear of the main unit.
Note: If you want to use the device with batteries, then the backlight is not
permanently switched on. The backlight is permanently switched on when
operating with a power adapter.
The weather station then attempts to establish connection with the outdoor sen
-
sor. Make sure that both the devices are with each other's range. The connection
symbol " " flashes in the "Outdoor temperature display" of the main unit. If the
main unit cannot establish a connection with the outdoor sensor within 3-4 minu
-
tes, then it stops scanning.
If a connection cannot be established, then this could be, for example, due to thick
walls, or to a long distance of the sensor from the main unit.
In this case, position
the sensor and the main unit closer to each other.
6. DCF signal
The DCF signal is a time signal which is sent out by one of the most accurate clocks
in the world. It is located near Frankfurt am Main. Under ideal conditions, your
weather station can receive the signal from a distance of up to 1500 km.
If the weather station has detected the signal, then it shows the current Central
European Time, the date, and the day of the week depending on the basic settings.
The DCF symbol " " is now shown on the display.
Once the attempt to receive a signal fails, the weather station stops scanning after
about 5 minutes. The DCF symbol disappears from the display.
