Wireless weather station
Therefore, please note the following steps:
• The recommended distance to any interfering sources like computer screens or TV sets is at least
1.5 - 2 meters.
• Within concrete walls (reinforced with steel) such as basements, the received signal is naturally
weakened. In extreme cases, please place the unit close to a window to improve reception.
• During night-time, the atmospheric interference is usually less severe and reception is possible in
most cases. A single daily reception is adequate to keep the accuracy deviation under 1 second.
7. Operation
• Press and hold the
UP
or
DOWN
button in setting mode for fast mode.
7.1 Manual settings
• Press and hold the
SET
button in normal mode.
• The year appears on the display and flashes.
• Press the
UP
or
DOWN
button to adjust the year.
• Press the
SET
button again and the setting sequence is shown as follows: Month and day,
month/day sequence D/M or M/D (default: D/M), the 24 or 12 hours display (default: 24 HR),
hours and minutes and adjust with the
UP
or
DOWN
button.
• Confirm with the
SET
button.
• Once the DCF time signal is successfully received and the DCF reception is activated, the manu-
ally set time is overwritten.
7.1.1 Temperature unit
• Press the
SET
button to change between °C (Celsius) or °F (Fahrenheit) as temperature unit.
8. Weather forecast symbols
• There are 5 different weather symbols (sunny, slightly cloudy, cloudy, rainy, snowy).
• The weather forecast relates to a range of 12 to 24 hours and indicates only a general weather
trend. For example, if the current weather is cloudy and the rain symbol is displayed, it does not
mean the product is faulty because it is not raining. It simply means that the air pressure has
dropped and the weather is expected to get worse but not necessarily rain.
• The sun symbol also appears on a starry night.

9. Trend indicator
• The trend arrows on the display will show whether the atmospheric pressure is increasing,
steady or decreasing.
10. Freezing alert
• On the display appears the symbol for frost, when the outdoor transmitter shows an outdoor
temperature less than 3°C. Once the outdoor temperature rises above 6°C, the symbol for frost
will disappear.
11. Positioning and fixing of base station and the outdoor transmitter
• The base station can be placed onto any flat surface (foldout stand) or wall mounted (mounting
hole) at your chosen location. Make sure you avoid the vicinity of any source of interference
such as computer screens, TV sets or solid metal objects.
• With the mountable support the transmitter can be placed onto any flat surface or the stand can be
used to wall mount the transmitter. When placed outdoors, choose a shady and dry place for the
transmitter. Once the desired location is chosen, check whether the transmission from the device
to the base station is possible (transmission range of up to 100 m in open areas). Within solid
walls, especially ones with metal parts, the transmission range can be reduced considerably.
• If necessary choose another position for the outdoor transmitter and/or base station.
12. Care and maintenance
• Clean the devices with a soft damp cloth. Do not use solvents or scouring agents.
• Remove the batteries if you do not use the devices for a long period of time.
• Store the devices in a dry place.
12.1 Battery replacement
• Change the outdoor transmitter's batteries when the battery symbol appears on the outdoor
temperature display.
• Change the base station batteries when the battery symbol appears on time display.
•
Please note:
When the batteries are changed, the contact between the transmitter and the base
station must be restored – so always start a manual transmitter search or restart the instrument
according to the manual.
