can be set appears on the display.
Press one of the keys [ ] or [ ] respectively there.
You can change the following functions (in this sequence;
in between, simply press the
[MODE]
key each time):
- Year
- Calendar (Month – Day – Display Format
(Day/Month or Month/Day)
- Time format 24h or 12h
- Time (hours – minutes)
4c) Switching the radio reception off permanently
You have the option of switching the radio reception on or
off and using the appliance as a normal quartz clock.
Press the [ ] button for 3 seconds to switch the radio

3. WEATHER FORECAST
3a) WEATHER FORECAST
Based on the change in barometric pressure, the receiver
unit calculates the weather development for the next 12-24
hours and indicates this with the following symbols:

Forecast
3b) PLEASE NOTE THE FOLLOWING:
1. When the weather station has been put into operation, it
is not necessary to set the current barometric pressure.
The appliance will calculate over the next few hours a
weather forecast from the changes in barometric
pressure.
2. Lengthy, stable weather conditions make a weather
forecast more difficult. A change in the weather symbol
on the display may at times take longer than desired.
3. The weather forecast is calculated solely by means of
changes in the barometric pressure.
4. The probability of the weather forecast is around 70%
and applies for a radius of 20 – 30 kilometres.
5. If the symbol ‘sunny’ appears at night, this means
cloudless weather. Fog is not displayed by the weather
station as this can occur with different weather
conditions.
6. If you take the weather station with you on your travels,
the weather forecast will alter due to the differences in
height above sea level and the resulting changes in
barometric pressure. Please wait up to 24 hours until the
weather station has calculated the weather forecast
based on the barometric pressure conditions at your new
location.
3c) BAROMETRIC PRESSURE – TENDENCY
DISPLAY
The indicator for the barometric pressure tendency in the
weather forecast window indicates the trend in
barometric pressure change in the previous hour. Three
different indicators are displayed:
Note: By default, the barometric pressure measured is
displayed in 'mbar/hPa'. The pressure is the pressure
measured locally; it cannot be set to the sea level.
Frost alarm
The frost alarm symbol appears on the display when the
outdoor temperature falls below 3°C (This is transmitted
by the external sensor on channel 1). When the
temperature rises above +6°C, the symbol disappears
again.
4. RADIO CLOCK
4a) NOTES ABOUT THE RECEPTION OF THE
TIME SIGNAL
The appliance is designed in such a way that the calendar
clock is automatically synchronised as soon as it is within
the range of the DCF77 signal.
To ensure a good reception of the time signal and
minimise interference, you should not set up the appliance
in the vicinity of metallic objects or electrical appliances.
It normally takes around 3 to 5 minutes until the signal is
fully received for the first time (depending on the strength
of the time signal received). The subsequent hourly
synchronisation of the time then only takes a few seconds.
If the reception problems persist, please set the clock
manually and wait until the next morning. The chances of
successful reception are greater in the night (from
midnight to around 4 am). One successful reception per
week is perfectly sufficient to ensure that the clock runs
precisely.
