INSTALLATION/ASSEMBLY
-
The weather station is only to be placed and used in dry, enclosed indoor rooms.
Place it on a fl at, stable, suffi ciently large surface. Protect valuable furniture
surfaces by using an appropriate underlay, otherwise it may cause scratches.
-
The outdoor sensor is intended for installation in a protected outdoor area; hang
it on a screw or nail.
You should protect the outside sensor from direct precipitation; otherwise the
air temperature cannot be measured. Never use the outside sensor in or under
water; this will damage it!
REPLACING THE BATTERIES
a) Outdoor sensor
The display contrast decreases when the batteries run low. Furthermore, the battery
symbol “
” is shown in the display of the outside sensor and the weather station.
Replace the batteries with new ones. If the weather station cannot detect the out-
side sensor, press the “CHANNEL” button for approx. 3 seconds until the “
” for
sensor search starts to fl ash. This process lasts approx. 3 minutes. During this time,
do not move the outside sensor nor the weather station, do not press any buttons.
b) Weather station
The display contrast decreases or the displayed symbols disappear when activating
the light, when the batteries run low.
Replace the batteries with new ones. All settings and data will be lost.
SELECTING TIME/DATE, TIME ZONE, 12/24 MODE
AND DISPLAY LANGUAGE
If the time or date are changed, the DCF reception is automatically switched
off.
-
Hold the “SET” button pressed for about 3 seconds until the year display fl ashes.
-
Using the “UP” or “DOWN” button, you can set the year.
If the respective key is pressed for a longer period of time, quick adjustment
is performed. This also applies to setting the month, date, hours and minutes.
If you do not press any key for 10 seconds, the weather station saves all set-
tings and exits the settings mode automatically.
-
Briefl y press the “SET“ button and the month fl ashes. Using the “UP” or “DOWN”
button, you can set the month.
-
Briefl y press the “SET“ button and the date fl ashes. Using the “UP” or “DOWN”
button, you can set the date.
-
Briefl y press the “SET“ button and the time zone fl ashes. Using the “UP” or
“DOWN” button, you can set the time zone from +12 to -12 hours.
-
Press the “SET” button several times and the “24h” or “12h” fl ashes on the dis-
play. Using the “UP” or “DOWN” button you can choose either the 12h or the 24h
mode. In the 12h mode, “am” is displayed for before noon and “pm” for after noon.
-
Briefl y press the “SET“ button and the hour display fl ashes. Using the “UP” or
“DOWN” button, you can set the minutes.
-
Briefl y press the “SET“ button and the minute display fl ashes. Using the “UP” or
“DOWN” button, you can set the minutes.
-
Briefl y press the “SET” button and the language for displaying the day of the
week fl ashes. Set the language using the “UP” or “DOWN” button (“GER” = Ger-
man, “ENG” = English, “FRA” = French, “SPA” = Spanish, “ITA” = Italian, “DUT” =
Dutch, “DAN” = Danish).
-
Briefl y press the “SET” button again to exit the settings mode. All settings will be
saved.
MANUAL START OF THE DCF RECEPTION
Press the “DOWN °C/°F WAVE” button for approx. 3 seconds in order to start the
DCF reception attempt manually. The radio tower symbol “
” will fl ash.
The reception attempt lasts for approx. 3 - 7 minutes, do not move the weather sta-
tion during this time, do not press any button.
If the current time of the day and the date are still not displayed after this period,
choose another location for the weather station and perform the reception attempt
again.
Do not place the weather station next to electronic devices, metal parts,
cables and so on. Bad reception can also be expected with metallised in-
sulating glass windows, reinforced concrete constructions, coated special
wallpaper or in cellar rooms.
MANUAL START OF THE OUTDOOR SENSOR RECEPTION
Press the “CHANNEL” button for approx. 3 seconds until the symbol “
” for sensor
search starts to fl ash. This process lasts approx. 3 minutes. During this time, do not
move the outside sensor nor the weather station, do not press any buttons.
TOGGLING THE TEMPERATURE UNITS °C/°F
Briefl y press the button “°C/°F” on the weather station in order to toggle between
°C (degree Celsius) and °F (degree Fahrenheit).
If the temperature reading the the display of the outdoor sensor is to be changed,
open the battery case of the outdoor sensor and briefl y press the “°C/°F” button
located there.
ALARM FUNCTION
c) Switching the alarm function on/off
-
-
Briefl y press the “ALM-SET“ button to switch the alarm function on or off.
-
If the alarm function is activated, a small bell symbol “

above the time.
b) Setting the alarm
-
-
Press the “ALM-SET” button for about 3 seconds and the hours of the alarm time
will start fl ashing.
-
-
Using the “UP” or “DOWN” button, you can set the hours of the alarm time.

WEATHER FORECAST
The weather forecast for the next 24 hours is calculated based on measurements of
trends in the barometric pressure. This results in an accuracy of up to 70%.
The weather forecast is indicated by a graphic symbol in the display.
Please note:
-
If “Sunny” is displayed at night, this means a clear night with clearly visible stars.
-
The display does not represent the momentary weather situation, but is a forecast
for the next 12 to 24 hours.
-
The calculation of the weather forecast based only on barometric pressure results
in a maximum accuracy of about 70%. The actual weather the next day can there-
fore be completely different. Since the measured barometric pressure only applies
for an area with a diameter of about 50 km, the weather can also change quickly.
This is especially the case in mountainous areas and high mountain regions.
Therefore, don‘t depend on the weather forecast of the weather station, but in-
form yourself locally when you would like to hike in the mountains, for example.
-
In case of sudden or larger air pressure fl uctuations, the display symbols are up-
dated to indicate the weather change. If the display symbols do not change, either
the air pressure did not change or the change occurred so gradually that it cannot
be registered by the weather station.
-
If the weather forecast shows “Sun” or “Rain”, the display will not change even if
the weather improves (display “Sun”) or deteriorates (display “Rain”) since those
symbols already display the two extreme conditions.
The symbols indicate a weather change for the better or worse, which does not
have to mean sun or rain, however, as indicated by the symbols.
-
After inserting new batteries, you should not pay attention to the measuring val-
ues and weather forecasts for the fi rst 12 to 24 hours, because the station must
fi rst collect air pressure data in this period at a constant height above sea level
before being able to make a more exact forecast.
-
If the weather station is brought to a signifi cantly higher or lower location than
the original site (e.g. from the ground fl oor to the upper storeys of a building) the
weather station may possibly erroneously detect a change in weather.
