INSTALLATION
1. Remove the indoor unit’s battery compartment lid (4) and insert the batteries with the correct polarity. The backlight comes on, the display becomes active, and the product emits a beep
to indicate that it is ready for use.
2. Now remove the outdoor unit’s battery compartment lid (20) by unscrewing the 2 screws, and insert the batteries with the correct polarity. When the batteries are inserted, the product
begins to transmit its signal for the indoor unit.
3. The indoor unit automatically begins seeking for the signals of the outdoor units within range. If a signal is found, the display shows the external temperature along with the channel
number, and the symbol flashes up, accompanied by a beep.
4. After 3 minutes, the product begins seeking the atomic clock signal, and continues seeking for 7 minutes. If the product is located in a place where the signal of the atomic clock located
in Frankfurt (DCF-77) is available, the clock is automatically set to the exact current time. In this case, the following variant of the icon is shown in the display: . If the radio signal is not
available, the atomic clock symbol disappears, and the clock starts counting from 0:00.
REGISTERING THE OUTDOOR UNIT
When turned on, the outdoor unit sends a signal for the indoor unit every 30 seconds, but you can also trigger the signal manually. Place the outdoor unit close to the indoor one, and press
the Tx button (21). The symbol appears on the outdoor unit. If the indoor unit receives the signal, its display shows the external temperature along with the channel number, and the
symbol flashes up, accompanied by a beep.
You can also use the indoor unit to start seeking for a given outdoor unit. Press CHANNEL (14) repeatedly to select the desired channel, then press and hold CHANNEL (14) again for 2
seconds. The symbol will appear flashing, indicating that the indoor unit is waiting for the outdoor unit's signal, which needs to be received within 30 seconds.
If the indoor unit still fails to connect with the outdoor unit this way, put the latter in a different place and repeated the process described above.
When using more outdoor sensors, they are identified by the numbers 1, 2 and 3. The packaging of the outdoor unit (HCKK02) as well as the product itself indicates the product's channel
(CH1, CH2 and CH3 for channel 1, 2 and 3, respectively). The kit includes the HCW 10 central unit, and an outdoor unit configured for CH1. This allows you to add two further outdoor units,
which then need to be configured for channels CH2 and CH3. Turn on the outdoor units one by one, after each other. Do not insert the batteries into more than one outdoor unit at the same
time. Only insert batteries into the second outdoor unit when the first one is already working; follow the same procedure for the third unit. This helps prevent interference between outdoor
units during registration. You cannot register the outdoor unit while the device is seeking for the DCF-77 radio signal.
The product’s transmission range in an open area is approximately 25 meters. It can be used to measure either outdoor temperature, or the temperature in another room within the same
house. To ensure accuracy, do not expose to direct sunlight. The battery’s voltage might decrease when the external temperature sinks near or below the freezing point, which can result in
a reduced transmission range. Walls, concrete and metal surfaces between the two devices also decrease the transmission range, it is therefore recommended to place them as close to
each other as possible. When used within a building with more than one floor, place the external sensor higher than the central unit (upstairs). Interference may occur near computers and
other electronic devices.
The external sensor has a one-line display that shows the selected channel and the temperature.
You can select either Celsius or Fahrenheit as the unit of measurement for temperature by pressing the button under the battery compartment lid (22).
When you are using several outdoor units, you can choose which channel’s temperature to display by pressing CHANNEL (14); the number shown next to the Outdoor Temperature
section of the display (1, 2 or 3) indicates the current channel, and at the last step, the symbol is shown. If you choose this last option, the product will step through the 3 channels
continuously until you select a specific one by pressing CHANNEL (14) again.
Next to the indoor and outdoor temperature, the display also shows an icon that indicates whether the temperature is rising or sinking. Whenever the temperature changes by 1°C, either
the or the icon is shown to indicate the direction of the change. The icon means that the temperature is constant.
SETTING THE TIME FROM THE RADIO SIGNAL
If the product fails to set the clock automatically when turned on, you can still synchronize manually later. Press and hold -/ Zone/Rcc (6) for 2 seconds. The display shows the radio signal
icon . You can press the button again to suspend seeking for the signal.
If the process is working properly, symbols of radio signals will also appear flashing around the image of the tower. If they do not appear, then the signal at your location is too weak to
receive. In such cases turn the device around or place it somewhere else. (The clock has a built-in ferrite antenna similar to those used in AM radios.) Depending on the signal's strength,
synchronization may take up to 2-10 minutes. After that, the image of the transmission tower is shown permanently without flashing. If the signal is weak, the icon disappears.
Once the clock has been set automatically, you can also change the current time zone. For detailed instructions see the section about “Setting the time manually.”
* Clocks controlled by a radio signal have a special built-in radio receiver besides the traditional quartz clock. This unit receives the signals of the DCF-77 radio tower located in Mainflingen
(near Frankfurt, Germany) and corrects the time accordingly at regular intervals. Because the radio signals transmit the information of an atomic clock, such devices effectively have the
precision of an atomic clock. The maximum deviation from the exact time in 1 million years is 1 second. Such clocks can be used conveniently because the setting of the exact date and
time and the transition between summer and winter time is fully automatic and requires no human interaction.
Reception is appropriate within a 1500-2000 km range. If there is no reception, the device still functions as a normal quartz clock.
