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 Meteotime 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.
POTENTIAL SOURCES OF INTERFERENCE
With all Meteotime weather stations, we should take measures to provide
best possible radio reception. DCF is long wave stations with a broad reach
(for example, approximate 1500km for the DCF station). However, as with
a long wave radio station, interference may occur which is often caused by
the following in
fl uences :
• In buildings with lots of concrete, metal parts and the electrical
equipment you may get reception problems (for example, in shopping
centers and at exhibitions).
• Electronic equipment such as TVs, computers, household machines,
etc… or transformers, power lines, radio transmitters and trains are
potential sources of interference.
• Atmospheric in fl uences might affect the radio waves.
• The distance from the station and the geographic conditions (mountains,
etc.) also affect the reception. Due to their great distance from the
station, areas like Southern Italy or Northern Scandinavia are critical.
• So-called (dead-spots) which make reception impossible can appear
everywhere.
• There is less interference in rural area than in heavily built-up urban
ones.
• On principle at night the sources of interference are less active,
consequently reception is better than during the day.
• Week batteries in the device will lower the quality of reception.
DATA TRANSFER
METEOTIME sends the data during precisely de fi ned time slots in
accordance with UTC. (UTC, i.e. for Central Europe during the winter
UTC+1, during the summer UTC+2; for Great Britain and Portugal during
the winter UTC, during the summer UTC+1)
