Operating Instruction
MUST READ BEFORE GETTING STARTED
Your Weather Station is different to traditional weather sta-
tions which measure the prevailing conditions only, the data
of this weather station is based on the
METEOTIME
which is
worked out on a daily basis by highly professional meteorolo-
gists using state-of-art instruments.
The Weather Station is engineered in such a way that it is
able to receive the coded
METEOTIME
signal containing
the weather information. The information is broadcasted
via the stations for radio-controlled clocks DCF77 (located
in Germany). For this reason, your Weather Station is also a
radio-controlled clock with all the known advantages, such
as always showing the exact time, and automatic change to
daylight saving the time in winter and in summer.
You are able to receive weather forecast for 60 meteorological
regions within Europe for up to 4 days in advance, and offer a
2-day-advance forecasts for an additional 30 regions.
WHAT DOES IT TAKE TO GET GOOD RECEPTION?
Similar to wireless signals like the mobile phone network or
Radio/TV broadcasts, it is possible that the Weather Stations
do not receive signals all the time and everywhere. The
following are some tips you should follow by all means to make
sure that your device works properly:
The location for Weather Station is very important. For this
reason we have equipped all of them with an innovation test
function (the TEST button) which enables you test the quality
of reception in your environment and to place the device
where the best conditions prevail.
Try your reception by testing your Weather Station as stated
in the manual. To do this, in the room you want to install the
device, please turn on all the potential sources of interference
(for example a TV set). Then put the Weather Station in the
place and direction you want it to be, but always at least in
one meter from the potential source of interference.
Watch the symbol GOOD RECEPTION or BAD RECEPTION on
the display. Once you have found the right location for GOOD
RECEPTION, you may leave the Weather Station there, it
will collect its data by radio controlled signal. Within a few
minutes time and the date will appear. However, the transfer
of the very large amount of data (forecast for all regions and
days) will take much longer. To completely receive all data
will take up to 24 hours from the time of the initial setup.
