Changing the batteries
The batteries of the weather data sensor have a service life of up to 2
years (alkaline batteries). If the sensor is operated in data retrieval mode,
the batteries can achieve a service life of up to approximately 1 year.
If the symbol indicating that a battery is empty (

ception station (e.g. Homematic Central Control Unit or Homematic Wire-
less Weather Data Sensor) when the device is selected or if the device
LED
