When the alarm sounds, press the SNOOZE/LIGHT button to trigger
snooze alarm for 10 minutes. The snooze icon
Zz
will flash when the
snooze feature is active.
•
To stop alarm for one day, press ALARM button, while in snooze
mode. The alarm icon will remain solid.
Note:
The alarm is crescendo sound. When the alarm sounds, it
continues for 2 minutes and then shuts off completely.
DCF Radio-Controlled Time
The time base for the radio controlled time is a Cesium Atomic Clock
operated by the Physikalisch Technische Bundesanstalt Braunschweig
which has a time deviation of less than one second in one million years.
The time is coded and transmitted from Mainflingen near Frankfurt via
frequency signal DCF-77 (77.5 kHz) and has a transmitting range of
approximately 1,500 km. Your radio-controlled Weather Station receives
this signal and converts it to show the precise time in summer or
wintertime. The quality of the reception depends greatly on the
geographic location. In normal cases, there should be no reception
problems within a 1,500km radius around Frankfurt.
DCF RECEPTION ICON
with full signal strength will appear on
screen if the reception of DCF signal is successful. If the unit received
DST (summer time) signal, it will display DST icon.
•
The tower icon is solid when the weather station has received the DCF
signal.
•
The tower icon will flash when searching for a signal.
•
No tower icon displayed. The weather station was unable to receive a
signal at this time.
•
Reposition the weather station for better signal reception or try again at
bedtime.
•
The weather station will start searching at GMT: 01:00 and if no
reception on the first attempt it will try again at 02:00, 03:00, 04:00 and
05:00. Each attempt will be at least 2 minutes and the most will be 10
min. If there is no signal or too much interference the receiver will only
be on for 2 minutes.
•
If the signal is good, it may catch a signal in ABOUT 2-3 minutes. If the
signal is marginal it will try to catch a signal for up to 10 minutes.
•
Press and release the TIME SET button to start or stop a manual
signal search. During time searching, the backlight is ON.
Note:
In case the weather station is not able to detect the DCF signal
(disturbances, transmitting distance, etc.), the time may be manually set.
Backlight
A/C adapter:
The backlight is on continuously, when operating the
weather station with the 5-volt A/C adapter.
Press and release the HI-
LOW-OFF button to change the backlight brightness.
•
HI:
Brightest intensity (default).
•
LOW:
Press and release the HI-LOW-OFF button to dim the backlight.
•
OFF:
Press and release the HI-LOW-OFF button again, to turn the
backlight off for sleep.
Press again to return to full strength.
Note:
When the backlight is OFF, press any button to activate the
backlight for 10 seconds
Battery power only
: Press and release the HI-LOW-OFF button and
the backlight will show for 10 seconds.
Note:
When the adapter is NOT in use, the HI-LOW-OFF light feature is
not available.
MAX/MIN Temperature/Humidity Data
The weather station shows daily minimum and maximum temperatures
each day starting at midnight (12:00 AM). The weather station
automatically resets the min/max temperatures at midnight (12:00 AM).
•
View MAX data:
Press and release the UP button once to view
maximum temperature and humidity values for indoor and outdoor
data.
•
Reset MAX data:
Hold the UP button for five seconds to reset
maximum temperature and humidity values for indoor and outdoor
data.
•
View MIN data:
Press and release the DOWN button once to view
minimum temperature and humidity values for indoor or outdoor data.
•
Reset MIN data:
Hold the DOWN button for five seconds to reset
minimum temperature and humidity values for indoor and outdoor
data.
Heat Index
Heat Index combines the effects of heat and humidity. This is the
apparent temperature of how hot it feels to a human being.
Note:
Heat index will be the same number as the temperature until the
temperature is above 26.7°C (80°F).
View Heat Index:
From a normal display press the HEAT/DEW button
once and Heat Index will show instead of the ambient temperature.
Dew Point
Dew point is the saturation point of the air, or the temperature to which
the air has to be cooled in order to create condensation.
Note:
Dew Point generally is lower than the temperature.
View Dew Point:
From a normal display press the HEAT/DEW button
twice and Dew Point will show instead of the ambient temperature.
Weather Forecast Icons
The weather station predicts weather condition of the next 12 hours
based on the change of atmospheric pressure with 70-75% accuracy.
Note
: As weather conditions cannot be 100% correctly forecasted we
are not responsible for any loss caused by an incorrect forecast.
SUNNY PARTLY SUNNY CLOUDY RAINY STORMY SNOWY
Note:
The “snowy” icon appears when the temperature is below 0°C
(32°F) and the forecast is rainy or stormy.
THIS STATION LEARNS
The weather station calibrates barometric pressure based on its
location over a period of time to generate an accurate, personal
forecast. Please allow 3 to 4 days for barometer calibration.
The forecast station samples the barometric pressure every twelve
minutes. These samples are averaged hourly and daily then stored in
nonvolatile memory. The three hour pressure icon change is based off of
the last four average hourly readings.
IMPORTANT
: As the weather station builds memory, it will compare the
current average pressure to the past forty day average pressure for
increased accuracy. The longer the weather station operates in one
location the more accurate the forecast icons will be.
Set Temperature Alert Values
Hold the ALERTS button for five seconds, until the weather station
beeps, to select and set temperature alert values.
