Frequently Asked Questions - BAR 669H OREGON SCIENTIFIC

How to set the time manually if the DCF signal is not received?

Press and hold the SET button for 2 seconds to enter setting mode. Use the + and - buttons to change values. Press SET to confirm each parameter (hour, minute, year, month, day).

Why does the outdoor display flash or show '---'?

This means the connection with the outdoor sensor is lost. Check that the sensor is on and the batteries are good. Move the sensor closer to the station and press the CHANNEL button to force a search.

What is the range of the outdoor sensor?

The maximum range is about 30 meters in open field. Thick walls and interference may reduce this distance.

How to change the batteries of the outdoor sensor?

Open the sensor's battery compartment, remove old batteries, insert a new LR03/AAA battery respecting polarity. Close the compartment.

Can I add multiple outdoor sensors?

Yes, the station can handle up to 3 sensors (channels 1, 2, 3). Press CHANNEL to switch between displays.

How to activate or deactivate the alarm?

Press ALARM to display the alarm time. Press again to activate/deactivate. The bell icon appears or disappears.

What to do if the screen is blank?

Check the station's batteries: replace them if necessary. Ensure they are inserted correctly. If the problem persists, try a reset by removing the batteries for 10 seconds.

How to interpret the weather forecast icons?

The icons indicate the forecast for the next 12 to 24 hours: sun (clear weather), clouds (variable weather), clouds with rain (rain likely), snow (snow likely). Barometric pressure is used for these forecasts.

What type of batteries to use for the main station?

Use two LR6/AA 1.5 V batteries. Alkaline batteries are recommended for longer life.

How to perform a full reset?

Remove all batteries from the station and the sensor. Wait 10 seconds, then reinsert the batteries. You may need to resynchronize the sensor by pressing CHANNEL.
