SETTING UP:
1. First, insert the batteries into the Weather Station (see “
How to install and replace
batteries in the Weather Station
”
above
)
. Once the batteries are in place, all
segments of the LCD will light up briefly and a short signal tone will sound. Then the
indoor temperature and humidity, the time as 0:00, the date as 1.1.99 and the
weather icons sun and clouds will be displayed. If the indoor temperature and indoor
humidity are not displayed after a few seconds, remove the batteries and wait for at
least 10 seconds before reinserting them. Once the indoor data is displayed proceed
to step 2.
2. Within 2 minutes and 30 seconds of activating the Weather Station, place the
batteries into the transmitter (see “
How to install and replace batteries in the
Outdoor Temperature transmitter
“ above).
3. After inserting the batteries into the transmitter, the Weather Station will start
receiving data from the transmitter. The outdoor temperature should then be
displayed on the Weather Station. If this does not happen after 2 minutes and 30
seconds, the batteries will need to be removed from both units and reset from step 1.
4. The Weather Station can receive up to 3 remote Outdoor Temperature transmitters. If
you have purchased additional transmitters, repeat from step 3 for all extra
transmitters. However, ensure that you leave 10 seconds i n between the reception of
the last transmitter and the set-up of the following transmitter. The Weather Station
will number the transmitters in the order of set-up, i.e. the first transmitter will have
the temperature displayed with the number 1 against it and so on.
Note
: total allowed time for setting up of transmitters is 2 minutes and 30 seconds from
inserting the batteries into the Weather Station.
5. When all the transmitters are set up, there is a testing period, during which the
reception of all transmitters is checked and the display switches quickly between all
the received transmitters at random. Pressing any key will stop this process and the
display will show the temperature for the first transmitter. The process also stops
automatically if no keys are pressed for 2 minutes and 30 seconds after inserting the
batteries in the Weather Station.
6. Once the outdoor temperature has been received and displayed on the Weather
Station, the DCF-77 time code reception is automatically started. This takes typically
between 3-5 minutes in good conditions.
7. If after 10 minutes, the DCF time has not been received, use the SET key to manually
enter a time initially. The clock will automatically attempt each hour to receive the
DCF time. When DCF reception signal is successful, the received time will override
the manually set time. The date is also updated with the received time. (Please refer
also to notes on
“Radio controlled Time Reception”
and
“Manual Time Setting”
).
Note:
In the event of changing batteries in any of the units, all units need to be reset by
following the setting up procedures. This is because a random security code is assigned
by the transmitter at start-up and this code must be received and stored by the Weather
Station in the first 2 minutes and 30 seconds of power being supplied to it.
BATTERY CHANGE:
It is recommended to replace the batteries in all units on an annual basis to ensure
optimum accuracy of these units.
Please participate in the preservation of the environment. Return used
batteries to an authorised depot.
