6. Getting started

6.1 Insert batteries

• Open the battery compartment of the base station and the transmitter (screwed) and place both instruments on a desk with a distance of approximately 1.5 meter. Check that no other electronic devices are close.
• Insert the batteries 2 × 1,5V AAA into the battery compartment of the transmitter and immediately afterwards 2 × 1,5V AA in the base station, observing the correct polarity.
• A brief beep tone will sound and all LCD segments will light up for a short moment.

6.2 Reception of outdoor temperature

• The base station automatically starts scanning the 433 MHz signal to register the transmitter after batteries are inserted. Appears for 3 minutes on the LCD of the base station.
• Note: DO NOT PRESS ANY KEY during the learning period. If the outdoor temperature is not displayed or if any key is pressed before the outdoor temperature signal is received and when changing batteries you will need to follow the battery installation procedure again. Please wait 10 seconds before inserting the batteries again.
• You can also start the outdoor transmitter search manually later on (for example when the outdoor transmitter is lost or the batteries are changed).
• Press the RESET/CH/+ button for 3 seconds. "---" and are displayed.

6.3 Radio-controlled time reception

The clock will scan the DCF frequency signal (max. 10 min.) and the DCF symbol flashes on the LCD.

RATIO - Wireless thermometer

• When the signal is received successfully, the radio-controlled time and the DCF symbol appear permanently.
• If the reception fails, scanning stops and will be repeated every hour.
• The time base for the radio-controlled time is a Caesium 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-controlled clock 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 1,500 km radius around Frankfurt.

Please take note of the following:

The recommended distance from any interfering sources like computer monitors or TV sets is a minimum of 1.5 - 2 metres.
- Within ferro-concrete rooms (basements, superstructures), the received signal is naturally weakened. In extreme cases, please place the base station close to a window and/or point its front or back towards the Frankfurt transmitter.
- During night-time, the atmospheric disturbances are usually less severe and reception is possible in most cases. A single daily reception is adequate to keep the accuracy deviation under 1 second.
- In case the clock cannot detect the DCF-signal (for example due to disturbances, transmitting distance, etc.), the time can be set manually. The clock will then work as a normal quartz clock.

6.4 Manual setting

• Press the SET/MIN/MAX button for 3 seconds. "On" appears on the display. The DCF time is activated. To turn off the DCF time, press the RESET/CH/+ button. "Off" appears on the display. Confirm with the SET/MIN/MAX button.
• "1" (1 = default = DCF time) starts flashing. Using the RESET/CH/+ button you can set the time zone (+12/-12). The time zone is used for the countries where the DCF signal can be received but the time zone is different from the DCF time (e.g. 2=one hour later).

RATIO - Wireless thermometer

• Press the SET/MIN/MAX button again. The 24 h digit is flashing. Press the RESET/CH/+ button to choose 12 HR or 24 HR system. Confirm with the SET/MIN/MAX button.
• The minute digit is flashing. Press the RESET/CH/+ button to adjust minutes. Confirm with the SET/MIN/MAX button. Set hours in the same way.
• Press the SET/MIN/MAX button again and with the RESET/CH/+ button you can change between ^ C or ^ F as temperature unit.
• Press the SET/MIN/MAX button again.
• Press and hold the RESET/CH/+ button in setting mode and you will enter fast mode.
• If DCF reception is on, the manually set time will be overwritten by the DCF time when the signal is received successfully.

6.5 Alarm setting

• Press the SET/MIN/MAX button in normal mode.
  12:00 (default) is displayed or the last adjusted alarm time.
• Press and hold the SET/MIN/MAX button for three seconds.
  The minute digit is flashing. Press RESET/CH/+ button to adjust minutes.
• Press the SET/MIN/MAX button again and you can adjust the hours with the RESET/CH/+ button.
• Holding the RESET/CH/+ button, you will enter fast mode.
• Confirm with the SET/MIN/MAX button and the display shows the current adjusted alarm time.
• Press the RESET/CH/+ button and the alarm function is activated.
  The alarm symbol appears on the display.
• Press any button to stop the alarm.

7. Maximum/Minimum function

• Press the SET/MIN/MAX button in normal mode.
  The last adjusted alarm time appears on the display.
• Press the SET/MIN/MAX button again to show the minimum ("MIN") values of indoor and outdoor temperature. Press the SET/MIN/MAX button again to show maximum ("MAX") values.
• Press and hold the RESET/CH/+ button for 2 seconds while the maximum or minimum values are displayed to clear the recorded maximum readings.

8. Additional transmitters

• If you like to connect additional transmitters (max. 3), repeat the installation procedure for all extra transmitters. The wireless thermometer will number the transmitters in the order of set-up automatically.
• If you have installed more than one transmitter, press the RESET/CH/+ button to change between the outdoor transmitters. Display for channel 1 channel 2 or f channel 3.

9. Positioning of base station and transmitter

• Choose a shady and dry position for the transmitter. (Direct sunshine falsifies the measurement and continuous humidity strains the electronic components needlessly).
• Place the base station at the final position. Avoid the vicinity of any interfering field like computer monitors or TV sets and solid metal objects.
• Check the transmission of the signal from the transmitter to the base station (transmission range 100m free field, within ferro-concrete rooms, especially with metal parts, the received signal is naturally weakened).
  If necessary choose another position for transmitter and/or base station.
• Use the bracket stand for mounting or standing when the signal is received successfully.

10. Care and maintenance

• Clean the instruments with a soft damp cloth. Do not use solvents or scouring agents.
• Remove the batteries if you do not use the products for a lengthy period.
• Keep the instruments in a dry place.

10.1 Battery replacement

• When the batteries are used up, the low battery indicator appears on the display (RX = base station, TX = transmitter).
• Please note: When the batteries are changed, the contact between transmitter and base station must be restored - so always insert new batteries into both units or start a manual transmitter search.
