Living space humidity

The weather station uses saved data to determine the humidity in the living space and shows the respective symbols.

comfortable, dry, humid

Low battery condition display

The weather station displays the low battery condition symbol to remind the batteries of the weather station or the outdoor sensor need to be exchanged.

• Weather station low battery condition display: within indoor area of the display
• Outdoor sensor low battery condition display: in the outdoor area of the display

Wireless connection to the outdoor sensor

• Press the key "CHANNEL" to select a channel. You can read the data of up to 3 sensors at one weather station.
• Press and hold the key "CHANNEL" for 3 seconds to search for outdoor sensor.

Reception of radio controlled signal

• DCF radio signal search starts automatically about 3 minutes after battery exchange. The "radio tower" signal is flashing.
• Press“+”“-” for more than 3 seconds to enter or quit the Radio controlled signal reception
• The clock synchronizes with the DCF radio signal automatically and daily from AM 1:00 to 3:00 to correct potential time deviations each hour. If the synchronization is unsuccessful (“radio tower” symbol disappears), a further synchronization attempt is made From 4:00 and 5:00 until success. This process is repeated up until 5:00 AM. If still not success, daily reception stop.

Information

• Flashing "radio tower" symbol stands for DCF radio signal reception started.
• Continuous "radio tower" symbol stands for DCF radio signal reception successful.
• Please observe a minimal distance of 2.5m to sources of interference such as televisions or computer screens.
• The radio signal reception is weaker in rooms with concrete walls (e.g. in the basement) and in office buildings. For extreme cases, please put the clock near a window.
• There are less atmospheric disturbances at night. A radio time signal reception is usually possible at that time. One synchronisation per day is sufficient to keep the time display accuracy at 1 second.

Tip

You can adjust the time manually in case the clock cannot receive the DCF radio signal (due to interferences, large distance to the sender, obstructions like mountains, etc.) As soon as the radio signal can be received, the clock will be adjusted automatically.

Radio signal sender coverage up to 1500km distance to Frankfurt/Main.
