6. 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 a few minutes.
7. Once the remote temperature has been received and is displayed on the Temperature Station, the DCF-
77 time code reception is automatically started. This takes typically between 3-5 minutes in good
conditions. This time period is an excellent opportunity to locate the transmitter(s) in suitable location(s)
outdoors. In order to ensure sufficient 433 MHz transmission however, this should under good conditions
be no more than 25 meters from where the Temperature Station will be finally positioned (see notes on
“
Positioning
” and “
433 MHz Reception check
”).
8. 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 this 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
” and “
Manual time setting
”).
