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.

Q: Can the compass be adjusted on the HAMA Meteotime?

The HAMA Meteotime weather station is not equipped with a compass . Therefore, this model does not have a directional adjustment function like a compass. However, the Meteotime has a wind direction indicator with 8 symbols representing the directions (airflow symbols) to show where the wind is blowing from. This feature does not require any special adjustment and is displayed automatically based on the anemometer's measurements. The sensors present on this station are: Thermometer (indoor and outdoor temperature) Hygrometer (humidity) Anemometer (wind speed) Wind direction indicator Precipitation probability sensor DCF77 radio-controlled clock

Q: How does the AUX function work when the radio is in standby?

The AUX function of the HAMA IR360MBT allows you to connect a mobile device (smartphone, MP3 player, etc.) via the 3.5 mm jack AUX IN and stream audio through the radio. A LED indicator confirms that AUX mode is active. Regarding standby : When the radio goes into standby mode, the power consumption is less than 1W . If you have a source connected to the AUX input, you must first stop playback on your mobile device or use the MUTE button on the radio before putting it in standby. The AUX function remains technically available after waking the radio, but no sound will be played if no device is connected or playing. For more details on operating modes, check the power settings in the UNDOK app of your radio.

Q: What audio codecs are supported by this Bluetooth transmitter?

The HAMA 205322 supports three audio codecs: SBC (Subband Coding) - standard Bluetooth codec, compatible with almost all devices AAC (Advanced Audio Coding) - offers higher quality audio compression aptX LL (Low Latency) - optimized for very low latency audio transmission This triple codec support ensures broad compatibility with your Bluetooth devices while offering different compression qualities according to your needs.

Q: How to tune the radio transmitters on the HAMA DR200BT?

Device Preparation : Start by fully extending the telescopic antenna and positioning it vertically to ensure optimal reception. The Hama DR200BT receives DAB+ stations (174.928 to 239.2 MHz) and FM (87.5 to 108 MHz). Automatic Tuning on Startup : When you first turn on your radio, a station search is automatically initiated in DAB mode. You can let this process finish to scan all available transmitters, or interrupt it at any time by pressing a button. Change Reception Mode : Use the [MODE] button to switch between the available modes: DAB+, FM, Bluetooth, and AUX-In. Each press changes the active reception mode. Manual Tuning in DAB+ or FM : Once in the chosen mode, use the [NAVIGATE+] and [NAVIGATE-] buttons to browse the available stations. To access more search options, press the [MENU] button which opens the active mode menu and allows you to start a new station search or view the complete list of detected transmitters. Save Your Favorite Stations : To quickly save a station, briefly press [PRESET1] or [PRESET2] to see the stored stations, then perform a long press (about 3 seconds) to save the current station. The radio has 30 memory slots for each mode. Recall your favorite stations by briefly pressing the same PRESET button. Optimize Reception Quality : If reception is weak or unstable, ensure that the antenna is fully extended and slightly adjust its position or angle. Signal quality generally improves by orienting the antenna vertically and moving the radio away from metallic obstacles or sources of electromagnetic interference.

Question 4

How to unblock my paper shredder in case of a paper jam?

Accepted Answer

If your HAMA Basic S6 shredder encounters a paper jam, the unblocking procedure is simple:

Unblocking Procedure

Move the control switch to the OFF position to completely stop the device
Activate the reverse mode by alternating the switch between REV and ON/AUTO about three times in a row
This alternation forces the cutting rollers to reverse their rotation, which dislodges and expels the jammed paper
Check that the jam is completely cleared, then return the switch to the OFF position

Important: Never attempt to remove the paper by hand directly. The cutting rollers are dangerous to touch. Only use reverse mode to clear the paper. If the REV mode is not sufficient, wait at least 25 minutes before restarting to avoid overheating the device.

Question 9

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.

2. Use your TV's menu

If the direct button does not work, it is possible that subtitle control is managed through the TV menu:

Press the Menu button on the remote control.
Go to the Options or Accessibility section.
Look for the Subtitles option.
Disable the subtitles or select Off.

3. Check the settings of the decoder or TV box

If you are using an external decoder, it may have its own subtitle settings. In this case:

Use the decoder's remote control to access the subtitle menu.
Disable the subtitles in the settings.

4. Specifics of RTL, TV2, ATV channels

Some channels may broadcast hardcoded subtitles (integrated into the image) or offer multiple options. If disabling via the remote control does not work, it is possible that the subtitles are embedded and cannot be removed via the remote control.

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