2. Insert the batteries, observing the correct polarity (see marking).

3. Replace the battery cover.

Note: In the event of changing batteries in any of the units, all units need to be reset by following the setting up procedures. This is due to a random security code assigned by the transmitter at start-up. This code must be received and stored by the Weather Station in the first 3 minutes of power being supplied to the transmitter. BATTERY CHANGE: ILis recommended to replace the batteries in all units on an annual basis to ensure optimum accuracy of these units. Please participate in the preservation of the environment. Return used batteries to an authorized depot. SETTING UP

1. First, insert the batteries to the transmitter (see “How to install and replace batteries

in the Temperature transmitter” below)

2. Within 2 minutes of powering up the transmitter, insert the batteries to the Weather

station (see “How to install and replace batteries in the Weather station” below) Once the batteries are in place, all segments of the LCD will light up briefly. Then the indoor temperature and humidity, the time as 0:00 the date as SA.1., the weather icons (sun and clouds) will be displayed. If the indoor temperature and humidity are not displayed after 15 seconds, remove the batteries and wait for at least 1 minute before reinserting them. Once the indoor data is displayed proceed to next step.

3. After the batteries are inserted, the Weather station will start receiving data signal from

the transmitter. The outdoor temperature and humidity should then be displayed on the weather station. If this does not happen after 2 minutes, the batteries will need to be removed from both units and reset from step 1

4. In order to ensure suficient 868 MHz transmission however, this should under good

conditions be a distance no more than 100 meters between the final position of the Weather station and the transmitter (see notes on “Positioning" and ‘868 MHz Reception”). Note: This weather station will receive one outdoor transmitter only. RESETTING The Weather Station and the Thermo-hygro transmitter need to be reset when one of the following conditions occur: + Unsuccessful 868MHz signal reception. . Malfunction on the units. + Batteries replacement. For resetting, remove all batteries from the units. Wait at least for 1 minute before powering up the Weather station again. Proceed from step 1 in “Setting Up”

DCF RADIO CONTROLLED TIME

The time base for the radio controlled time is a Cesium Atomic Clock operated by the Physikalisch Technische Bundesanstalt Braunschweig which has a time deviation of less than one second in one million years. The time is coded and transmitted from Mainflingen near Frankfurt via frequency signal DCF-77 (77.5 kHz) and has a transmitting range of approximately 1,500 km. Your radio-contrlled Weather Station receives this signal and converts it to show the precise time in summer or wintertime. The quality of the reception depends greatly on the geographic location. In normal cases, there should be no reception problems within a 1500km radius of Frankfurt.

DCF reception is done twice daily at 02:00 and 03:00 am. If the reception is not successful at 03:00 am, then the next reception takes place the next hour and so on until 06:00am, or until the reception is successful. Ifthe reception is not successful at 06:00 am, then the next attempt will take place the next day at 02:00 am: Once the outdoor data reception test period is completed, the DCF tower icon in the clock display will Start flashing in the upper left corner. This indicates that the clock has detected that there is a radio signal present and is trying to receive it. When the time code is received, the DCF tower becomes permanently lit and the time will be displayed. If the tower icon flashes, but does not set the time or the DCF tower does not appear at all, then please take note of the following: Recommended distance to any interfering sources like computer monitors or TV sets is a minimum of 1.5 - 2 meters. + Within ferro-concrele rooms (basements, superstructures), the received signal is naturally weakened. In extreme cases, please place the unit close to a window and/ or point its front or back towards the Frankfurt transmitter. + During nighttime, the atmospheric disturbances are usually less severe and reception is possible in most cases. À single daily reception is adequate to keep the accuracy deviation below 1 second.

WEATHER FORECAST AND WEATHER TENDENCY: WEATHER FORECASTING ICONS: Weather icons in the third section of LCD can be displayed in any ofthe following combinations: lbs || one Sunny Cloudy with sunny intervals Rainy For every sudden or significant change in the air pressure, the weather icons will update accordingly to represent the change in weather. the icons do not change, then it means either the air pressure has not changed or the change has been too slow for the Weather Station to register. However, if the icon displayed is a sun or raining cloud, there will be no change of icon if the weather gets any better (with sunny icon) or worse (with rainy icon) since the icons are already at their extremes. The icons displayed forecasts the weather in terms of getting better or worse and not necessarily sunny or rainy as each icon indicates. For example, if the current weather is cloudy and the rainy icon is displayed, it does not mean that 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 rainy. Note: After setting up, readings for weather forecasts should be disregarded for the next 12-24 hours. This will allow sufficient time for the Weather station to collect air pressure data at a constant altitude and therefore result in a more accurate forecast. Common to weather forecasting, absolute accuracy cannot be guaranteed. The weather forecasting feature is estimated Lo have an accuracy level of about 75% due to the varying areas the Weather station has been designed for use. In areas that experience sudden changes in weather (for example from sunny to rain), the Weather station will be more accurate compared to use in areas where the weather is stagnant most of the time (for example mostly sunny). If the Weather station is moved to another location significantly higher or lower than its initial Standing point (for example from the ground floor to the upper floors of a house), discard the weather forecast for the next 12-24 hours. By doing this, the Weather Station will not mistake the new location as being a possible change in air-pressure when really it is due to the slight change of altitude.

Working together with the weather icons is the weather tendency indicators (located on the left and right sides of the weather icons). When the indicator points upwards, it means that the air-pressure is increasing and the weather is expected to improve, but when indicator points downwards, the air-pressure is dropping and the weather is expected to become worse. Taking this into account, one can see how the weather has changed and is expected to change. For example, if the indicator is painting downwards together with cloud and sun icons, then the last noticeable change in the weather was when it was sunny (the sun icon only). Therefore, the next change in the weather will be cloud with rain icons since the indicator is pointing downwards. Note: Once the weather tendency indicator has registered a change in air pressure, it will remain permanent visualized on the LCD. AIR PRESSURE HISTORY (ELECTRONIC BAROMETER WITH BAROMETRIC PRESSURE TREND) The third section of the LCD also shows the relative air pressure value and the air pressure history. PRESSURE HISTORY Sms ‘Air pressure over the last 24 hours The bar chart indicates the air pressure history trend over the last 24 hours in 7 steps, Oh, - 3h, -6h, -9h, -12h, -18h, and -24h. The “Oh” represents the current full hour air pressure recording. The columns represent the “hPa” (0, +2, +4, +6) at specific time. The “in the middle of this scale is equal to the current pressure and each change (22, +4, +6) represents how high or low in “hPa“ the past pressure was compared to the current pressure: Ifthe bars are rising it means that the weather is getting better due to the increase of air pressure. Ifthe bars go down, it means the air pressure has dropped and the weather is expected to get worse from the present time “Oh°. Note: For acourate barometric pressure trends, the Weather Station should operate at the same altitude for example, it should not be moved from the ground to the second floor of the house. Should the unit be moved to a new location, discard readings for the next 12-24 hours.

OUTDOOR TEMPERATURE/HUMIDITY DATA

The fourth LCD section shows the outdoor temperature and humidity, the reception indicator, the transmitter identification number and the MIN/MAX outdoor data. MIN icon HUMDITY °C Outdoor relative u OC — amy in Re

BACK-LIGHT The back-light is automatically switched ON when any keys are pressed. The back-light will be switched on for approximately 8 seconds before automatically switching OFF.

LOW BATTERY INDICATOR

Low battery indicator is displayed on the LCD when the batteries require changing.

ABOUT THE OUTDOOR TRANSMITTER

The range of the Thermo-hygro transmitter may be affected by the temperature. At cold temperatures the transmitting distance may be decreased. Please bear this in mind when positioning the transmitters. Also the batteries may be reduced in power for the Thermo- hygro transmitter. CHECKING FOR 868MHz RECEPTION If the outdoor temperature and humidity data are not being received within three minutes after setting up (or outdoor display always show “--. -" in the outdoor section of the Weather tation during normal operation), please check the following points:

1. The distance of the Weather station or transmitters should be at least 2 meters away

from any interfering sources such as computer monitors or TV sets

2. Avoid placing the transmitters onto or in the immediate proximity of metal window

3. Using other electrical products such as headphones or speakers operating on the

868MHz-signal frequency may prevent correct signal transmission or reception. Neighbors using electrical devices operating on the 868MHz-signal frequency can also cause interference. Note: When the 868MHz signal is received correctly, do not re-open the battery cover of either the transmitter or Weather station, as the batteries may spring free from the contacts and force a false reset. Should this happen accidentally then reset all units (see “Setting up” above) otherwise transmission problems may oceur. The transmission range is around 100 meters from the Thermo-hygro transmitter to the Weather station (in open space). However, this depends on the surrounding environment and interference levels. If no reception is possible despite the observation of these factors, all system units have to be reset (see “Setting up” above).

POSITIONING THE WEATHER STATION

The Weather station provides the option of table standing or wall mounting the unit. Before wall mounting, please check that the outdoor data can be received from the desired locations.

4. Fixa screw (not supplied) into the desired wall, leaving the head

extended out by about 5mm.

2. Place the weather station onto the screw, using the hanging hole on

the backside. Gently pull the weather station down to lock the screw Z into place. Foldout table stand: The foldout table stand leg is located on the backside. Pull the stand out from the bottom center edge of the weather station, below the battery compartiment. Once the foldout table stand is extended, place the weather Station in an appropriate location.

POSITIONING THE THERMO-HYGRO TRANSMITTER

The Thermo-hygro transmitter is supplied with a holder that may be attached to a wall with the three screws supplied. Before securing the transmitter, ensure that the 868MHZ signal is properly received. To attach to the wall, please follow the steps below:

1. Mark the wall using a pen through the holes in the holder to obtain the

exact drilling position. | 2. Drill holes in the wall at the points marked

3. Screw holder onto wall

There is also double sided tape included with the wall mount. On smooth surfaces this can be used instead of drillng holes. The mounting surface can, however, affect the transmission range. If for example the unit is attached to a piece of metal, it may then either reduce or increase the transmitting range. For this reason, we recommend not placing the unit on any metal surfaces or in any position where a large metal or highly polished surface is in the immediate proximity (garage doors, double glazing, etc.). Before securing in place, please ensure that the Weather station can receive the 868MHZ signal from the Thermo-hygro transmitter at the positions that you wish to situate then. The Thermo-hygro transmitter simply clicks in or out of the holder. When inserting or removing the Thermo-hygro transmitter from the wall holder please hold both units securely. CARE AND MAINTENANCE: + Extreme temperatures, vibration and shock should be avoïded as these may cause damage to the units and give inaccurate forecasts and readings. + When cleaning the display and casings, use a soft damp cloth only. Do not use solvents or scouring agents as they may mark the LCD and casings. + Do not submerge the units in water. + immediately remove all low powered batteries to avoid leakage and damage. Replace only with new batteries of the recommended type. + Do not make any repair attempts to the units. Return it to their original point of purchase for repair by a qualified engineer. Opening and tampering with the units may invalidate their guarantee. + Do not expose the units to extreme and sudden temperature changes, this may lead to rapid changes in forecasts and readings and thereby reduce their accuracy,
