4. "POSITION" menu, setting the position
The position data of the installation site of the weather station is required for calculating the sunrise and sunset times.
You can enter between –60.0° and +60.0° latitude.
There are different ways to determine your position:
• The Appendix contains a list with the coordinates of numerous German cities. You can select a city in your vicinity
and enter its coordinates.
• If you have GPS, e.g. in your car or a mobile unit, you can take over the coordinates indicated there and so obtain
the exact position.
• Accurate coordinates can also be found on the internet. There are various sites about navigation.
After you have determined your position coordinates, enter the data into the weather station as follows:
• Select the "POSITION" menu:
NEXT POSITION ENTER

• Touch "+" or "-" to set the longitude.
• Wait a few seconds and the corrected data for sunrise and sunset are displayed.
Please bear in mind that the sunrise and sunset times are really only accurate at the sea or in a
completely plane landscape.
Mountains, high woods etc. can considerably shorten the real days.
Even if the location is ideal, it is possible that the data differ by a few minutes, since an approximation
formula is used to calculate these times.
