Safety instructions for batteries DANGER TO LIFE! Batteries can be swallowed, which may rep- resent a danger to life. If a battery has been swallowed, medical help is required im- mediately. Remove the batteries from the device if they are not11 GB/IE going to be used for a pro- longed period. CAUTION! DANGER OF EXPLOSION! Never re- charge batteries which are not rechargeable. When inserting the batteries, ensure the correct polarity! This is shown in the battery compartments. Remove spent batteries im- mediately from the device. There is an increased danger of leaks! Keep batteries away from children do not throw the bat- teries in the fire, short-circuit them or take them apart. Always replace all the bat- teries at once.12 GB/IE Use batteries of the same type only. Otherwise there is a risk of an explosion. If the batteries have leaked

nside your device, you sh ould remove them immediately in order to prevent damage to the device! Avoid contact with the skin, eyes and mucous memb ranes. Any parts of the body com- ing into contact with battery acid should be rinsed off with copious amounts of water and / or a doctor contacted if necessary! Before initial use Put the batteries first into the outdoor sensor, then into the temperature station. General information CAUTION! When choosing where to position the temperature station, make sure13 GB/IE that it is not exposed to direct sunlight, vibra- tions, dust, heat, cold or moisture. Do not place the temperature station or external sensor near to heat sources, e.g. radiators, as this may re- sult in damage to the instruments. Place the temperature station on the ac- companying stand

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 devices next to or on metal plates. Otherwise the quality of ra- dio wave transmission may be reduced. Radio signal (DCF): The DCF 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 var- ies by 1 second in 1million 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 Inserting the batteries: Remove the battery compartment cover from the back of the outdoor sensor. Insert two 1. 5 V batteries (AA) (in- cluded) into the battery compartment

.14 GB/IE Note: Make sure you fit the batteries the right way round (polarity). This is shown in the battery compartment (see. fig D). The outdoor sensor is now ready for use and the control LED

illuminates briefly. Close the battery compartment cover. If this does not work, carry out a restart, if necessary. To do this, press and keep pressed the Z

Preparing the temperature station for use Inserting the batteries: Open the battery compartment

on the back of the temperature station. Insert two 1.5 V batteries (AA) (in- cluded) into the battery compartment. Note: Make sure you fit the batteries the right way round (polarity). This is shown on the battery compartment (see. fig B). Close the battery compartment cover. Connecting the temperature station with the outdoor sensor and the DCF radio signal: After the batteries have been inserted, the temperature station attempts to establish a connection with the outdoor sensor. This pro- cess can take a few minutes. The symbol flashes. Once the device has successfully con- nected to the external sensor, the symbol stops flashing and the temperature is shown in the LC display.15 GB/IE 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 sen- sor signal or after 3 minutes, the temperature station starts with the reception of the radio time signal. This process can take up to 5 min- utes and is indicated in the LC display by the flashing symbol

After successful reception of the DCF radio signal, the 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 set the time and date manually (see “Setting the language / time zone / time / date manually”).16 GB/IE 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. 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 de- tector before drilling.
