Determine place of installation
Look for a place to install the Mete-On 3 where, if possible, no electrically interfering devices can restrict the
reception of the time and the weather data.
More detailed instructions regarding the place of location can be found in the Meteotime brochure ‘Important
information’. We strongly recommend that you assess the place of installation using the ‘TEST’ function.
The description of the ‘TEST’ function can be found in Chapter 7.

Putting the device into operation
The Mete-On 3 device is battery-operated.
The batteries installed when the device is
shipped are deactivated with isolating strips.
To activate the batteries, the isolating strips
have to be removed. To do this, you need to
open the battery compartment. For this, the
cover on the inner side of the device is pulled
downwards.
Now remove the isolating strips. The Mete-On
3 then starts according to the sequence de-
scribed below.
If this should not be the case, you need to re-
move the two batteries from the device and
put them back in again after approx 1 minute
in the right polarity.
Start procedure of the Meteo-On 3:
• The full segment display appears briefl y, the snooze button lights up briefl y and a short acoustic signal
sounds out. The seconds in the display then begin to run.
• After approx. 10 seconds, the measured interior temperature appears and a rolling weather symbol
(4 symbols alternating). The clock now begins to receive the time. Now the settings described in the fol-
lowing chapters can already be started.
Depending on the signal quality, the time reception lasts between 3 and 10 minutes. The following dis-
plays appear on the left of the time:
Flashes cyclically:
Data is being received and the signal is good
Firmly displayed:
Time has been received and is synchronous
No display
(or fl ashes irregularly) There is interference to reception of the
time or reception is not possible. If the symbol is not on the display for a
longish period of time, the time has not aligned itself to the transmitter
for more than 12 hours.
HBG
or
DCF
: Displays which transmitter the device is receiving data from.
The Mete-On 3 searches independently for the best transmitter in each case

Summer time is active (‘Daylight Saving Time’). This symbol does not
appear in the winter.
