Starting radio reception
When the device switches to receiving mode; the receiving symbol will flash, and the number of radio
waves
on display indicates the quality of reception: The more radio waves on display, the better the
reception.
As soon as the signal has been received with sufficient strength, the corresponding information is shown on
the display and the radio tower symbol
is permanently displayed. This process can take a few minutes.
The weather station will now switch to receive automatically several times a day and compare the time
displayed with the time received from the time signal transmitter.
If the signal strength is
not sufficient
, the base unit stops the receiving process and the radio tower symbol
is not displayed any more. The receiving process is then carried out again at a later time.
In this case, the time will continue as normal.
• First, check if the base unit is in a suitable location
• You can restart the receiving process manually or
• You can wait for the base unit to automatically switch back to receiving mode at a later time. The reception
is usually better at night.
• If reception is not possible at your location, you can set the date and time manually; see the next chapter
