Step 4 Open the battery door at the bottom of the unit. Extend the FM wire antenna fully and vary the
direction for best FM reception. Do not strip, alter or attach to other antennas.
Remarks:
1. Keep in mind that your outdoor sensor has a 100-feet open air transmission with no obstructions.
Actual transmission range will vary depending on what is in the path of the signal. Each obstruction
(roof, walls, floors, ceilings, thick trees, etc.) will effectively cut signal range in half.
2. During reception of the DCF time signal, all buttons do not function and your weather station does
not take temperature and humidity measurement. After first time installation, the temperature and
relative humidity readings will get stable and become more accurate in around 30 minutes.
3. As “CH1” is your default channel for main unit. Please always hold the button on “CH1” for the
outdoor temperature sensor.
BATTERY BACK-UP INSTALLATION
In the event that the AC/DC adaptor power is disconnected or a power failure or other interruptions
occur, the back-up batteries will maintain the time and alarm settings. The radio, projection clock,
LCD backlight and the Wake-by-Radio will resume working when the AC power is restored.
1. Remove the battery cover at the bottom of the clock radio.

inside the battery compartment.
