ote
• Initial setup takes approx. 2 minutes.
• During connection, the wireless symbol on the measuring
station will flash (1).
• Do not press any buttons during setup. Otherwise, values may
not be transmitted correctly and there is a risk of value errors
and inaccuracies.
• The setup process is completed when the indoor (4) and
outdoor (3) measurement data is displayed.
• The measured value is automatically updated by the base
device about every 45 seconds.
• If the temperature is outside of the measuring range,
--.-

--.-
(higher than
maximum temperature) will appear on the temperature
display.

ote – Faulty transfer of measured values
• In isolated cases, interference - e.g. from a WLAN network,
a computer or a television set - can cause the transfer of
measured values between the measuring station and the base
station to fail.
• In this case, you must resynchronise the stations by briefly
removing the batteries from both stations and reinserting them.
• If the measured values are not transferred again once the
batteries are inserted, replace the batteries with new ones.
• If necessary, select a new location for the base station in order
to avoid possible interference in the future.
