Please ensure that neighbouring devices are not operated at the same frequency of 433 MHz. Such devices may cause interference to the radio connection. Do not place the product next to or on metal plates. Otherwise the quality of radio wave transmission may be reduced.

Radio signal (DCF):

The DCF-radio signal (time signal transmitter) is made up of time pulses transmitted from one of the highest precision clocks in the world close to Frankfurt / Main in Germany – it varies by 1 second in 1 million years.

In ideal conditions, your temperature station can pick up this signal over a distance of up to approx. 1,500 km around Frankfurt / Main.

● Preparing to use the outdoor sensor

☐ Remove the battery compartment cover 40 from the back of the outdoor sensor. ☐ Insert the supplied batteries with the correct polarity. ☐ The outdoor sensor is now ready for use and the control LED illuminates briefly. Outdoor temperature 39 display on the outdoor sensor. ☐ Close the battery compartment cover 40.

Preparing the temperature station for use

☐ Remove the battery compartment cover 31 from the back of the temperature station. ☐ Insert the supplied batteries with the correct polarity. ☐ Close the battery compartment cover 31.

Connecting the temperature station with the outdoor sensor and the DCF radio signal:

After inserting the batteries, the temperature station attempts to establish a connection with the outdoor sensor. This process can take a few minutes. The radio signal symbol 7 flashes. Once the temperature station has successfully connected to the outdoor sensor, the radio signal symbol 7 stops flashing and the temperature is shown in the LC display.

Note: If the temperature station does not receive the signal from the outdoor sensor within 3 minutes, the temperature station automatically starts with the reception of the radio time signal.

After successful reception of the outdoor sensor signal or after 3 minutes, the temperature station starts with the reception of the radio time signal. This process can take up to 5 minutes and is indicated in the LC display by the flashing DCF symbol [11].

After successful reception of the DCF radio signal, the DCF symbol is displayed continuously in the LC display.

Note: Do not move the temperature station while it is receiving the signal. Otherwise this could interfere with reception. If synchronisation

is not possible when the temperature station is being first set up, try changing the location (e.g. place the temperature station near to a window).

Reception may be considerably reduced by obstructions (e.g. concrete walls) or sources of interference (e.g. other electrical devices). If the reception of the radio signal continues to be interrupted, you can turn on / off the automatic radio time receive function manually.

Press and hold down the - button for about 3 seconds. DCF 11 is shown in the LC display, and the automatic radio time receive function is turned off. Now you can set the time and date manually (see "Setting the time format / zone / date / time / language / temperature unit manually"). Press and hold down the - button for about 3 seconds again. DCF 11 disappears, and the automatic radio time receive function is turned on. The temperature station will start the reception of the radio time during early morning.

Mounting the temperature station and / or the outdoor sensor on a wall:

Note: You will require an electric drill and a crosshead screwdriver for this step.

CAUTION! DANGER TO LIFE, RISK OF INJURY AND MATERIAL DAMAGE! Read the operating and safety instructions for your drill carefully.

WARNING! DANGER TO LIFE! Take care that you do not hit electricity, gas or water lines when you drill into the wall. If necessary, check with a pipe and cable detector before drilling.

Mark the position of the hole (approximately 6 mm in diameter) on the wall.

Drill the hole with an electric drill.

Insert the dowel (35, 43) into the drilled hole.

Using a crosshead screwdriver, screw the screw (36, 44) into the dowel.

Hang the temperature station or outdoor sensor by placing the hanging slot (34, 42) onto the corresponding screw.

Note: Ensure that the outdoor sensor is not immersed in water and does not come into contact with direct sunlight. Electronic devices may adversely affect the wireless signal reception.

The low battery symbols 6, 26 appear in the temperature station's and outdoor sensor's LC display if the batteries in the outdoor sensor or the temperature station are weak.

Replacing the batteries

Open the battery compartment 32 or 41. Remove the exhausted batteries. Insert two new 1.5 V (direct current) batteries (AAA) into the battery compartments.

Note: Make sure you fit the batteries the right way round (polarity). This is shown in the battery compartments (see Figs. B + D).

Close the battery compartments.

Troubleshooting

Note: This product has delicate electronic components. This means that if it is placed near an object that transmits radio signals, it could cause interference.

If the display indicates a problem, move such objects away from the temperature station / outdoor sensor or remove the batteries for a short while from the temperature station / outdoor sensor and then replace them.

Obstacles such as concrete walls can also cause that the reception is disturbed. In this case, change the location (e.g., near a window). Please take note that the outdoor sensor should always be set up within max. 100 meters (open space) from the temperature station. The specified range is the free-field range and means that no obstacle should be between the outdoor sensor and the temperature station. A “visual contact” between outdoor sensor and temperature station often improves the transmission.

Cold (outdoor temperatures below 0 °C) can reduce the battery power of the outdoor sensor and thereby negatively impair the radio transmission.

Another factor that may cause harmful interference, are dead or weak batteries in the outdoor sensor. Replace them by new ones.

Activate the batteries first inside the outdoor sensor, then inside the temperature station.

Only if problems occur, the outdoor sensor has to be restarted with keep pressed the + button 19 or the temperature station has to be restarted. To restart the temperature station, please remove the batteries for a short while and then replace them.

Cleaning and maintenance

The product should only be cleaned on the outside with a soft dry cloth. Under no circumstances should you spray the outdoor sensor, e.g. with a garden hose. The outdoor sensor is protected against splashing water from all directions.
