Q: How to set the date and time on the HAMA Meteotime?

To set the date and time on your HAMA Meteotime: Press and hold the MODE button (A) for about 3 seconds to enter the setting mode. You will successively navigate through the menus in this order: time zone , language (day of the week), 12/24h time format , year , month , day , hours and minutes , then display in °C or °F. For each parameter, use the UP button (E) or DOWN (F) to change the displayed value. Press MODE (A) to confirm and move to the next parameter, or press MODE directly to skip the current value. Important points regarding the time zone: The received DCF signal always corresponds to Central European Time used in Germany. If you are in a country with a different time offset, you need to compensate for it. Example: in Moscow, there is a 3-hour offset more than in Germany, so set the time zone to +3 . The clock will then automatically advance by 3 hours from the received signal. Automatic reception: Normally, your HAMA Meteotime automatically receives the DCF77 signal and METEOTIME data for weather forecasts. Once reception is established, the date and time are automatically synchronized and your manual settings will be replaced by the official radio data. Manual adjustment is only necessary if radio reception does not work in your area. If you do not press any buttons for 30 seconds , the device will automatically exit the setting mode. Leave the station in place for a few minutes after inserting the batteries for the signal reception to establish correctly.

Question 5

Where can I find the list of codes to program the HAMA 12306 4 IN 1 universal remote control?

Accepted Answer

The list of codes for the HAMA 12306 4 IN 1 universal remote control is provided directly in the package. It comes in the form of printed documentation included with the remote control and contains four-digit codes for most common audiovisual device manufacturers. This list is organized alphabetically and categorized by device type (TV, DVD, decoder, amplifier, stereo system, etc.).

To program your remote control using these codes, you must first consult the included list and locate the brand and model of your device. Once you find the code, turn on the device you wish to control, then press the SETUP button until the LED light stays on permanently. Then select the type of device using the selection buttons (TV, DVD, etc.), and enter the corresponding four-digit code using the numeric keys 0-9. The LED light blinks to confirm each digit entered and turns off after the fourth digit to indicate that the code is saved.

If you do not have the original code list or are looking for additional codes, visit the official site www.hama.com which offers support resources including updated code lists. You can also contact Hama Product Consulting directly at the support line: +49 9091 502-115 (available in German and English) to obtain the specific code for your device.

If the code found in the list does not work correctly, the remote control offers two convenient alternatives: manual search, which allows you to scroll through about 350 preloaded codes by device type by pressing the POWER or PROG+/PROG- buttons until your device responds, and automatic search, which automatically scans the codes (you can adjust the scanning speed between 1 or 3 seconds per code according to your preferences). It is important to note that some specialized models of devices may not have compatible codes available.

Tip: Try changing the input source or reception mode (satellite, cable, TNT) to see if it affects subtitle management.
