6.1. Automatic initial setup
All available LCD segments on the display are displayed briefly
after turning the measuring station on for the first time.
• The base station then performs automatic initial setup.
During setup, the base station performs measuring station
synchronisation, the pressure measurement values are
stabilised and factory settings are set.
Note – Initial setup
• Initial setup takes approx. 3 minutes.
• Do not press any buttons during setup. Otherwise,
values may not be transmitted correctly and there is a
risk of value errors and inaccuracies.
• The setup process is completed when the indoor
(12, 14) and outdoor (18, 20) measurement data is
displayed
• After the first time the base station is switched on and
successful transmission is established between the
base station and the measuring station, the clock will
automatically search for a DCF signal. During the search,
the wireless symbol (27) will flash.

difference in countries with another time zone.
• If you are in Moscow, the time is 3 hours later than in
Germany. This means that you should set +3 for the
time zone. The clock then automatically sets itself 3
hours ahead after receiving the DCF signal or according
to the manually set time.
