5. CLOCK AND ALARM FUNCTION
5.1 Clock:
Introduction
The WS-3800 is provided with a built-in DCF receiver which receives the DCF time signal from Frankfurt.
This signal ensures that the clock shows the time very accurately, provided a strong enough signal is being
received. The clock is synchronized with the station in Frankfurt each night at 3am.
Automatic:
Upon installing the batteries in the indoor unit, the weather station performs an automatic setup. After
approx. 3 minutes or quicker, the clock starts searching for the DCF radio signal for the time and date while
the antenna symbol
is flashing. After several seconds or minutes the WS-3800 will start showing the
correct time. In extreme cases, it can take over a day before the DCF time is shown.
Manually:
If the clock cannot receive the radio signal or cannot receive it well enough, you can set the clock manually
as follows:
1. press and hold the button “SET” for 2 seconds, 12Hr or 24Hr will appear in the display

As soon as an active wake-up time is reached, the weather station will sound an alarm signal.
For the first 10 seconds, the rhythm of the alarm signal is slow.
From 10 to 20 seconds, the rhythm of the alarm signal becomes quicker.
From 20 to 30 seconds, the rhythm of the alarm signal becomes even quicker.
After 30 seconds, the rhythm of the alarm signal is the quickest.
After 24 hours the alarm signal, connected to the set wake-up time, will sound again.

After everything is installed, press and hold the “RAIN CLEAR” button for 2 seconds to delete all
measurement data up to that moment. This prevents you from seeing measurement data at a later time
that was caused by movements during the installation.
