Frequently Asked Questions - DTX355 Cresta

How to install batteries in the weather station and external sensor?

Open the battery compartment on the back of each device. Insert 2 AA (LR6) batteries into the station and 2 AAA (LR3) batteries into the sensor, respecting polarity (+ and -). After powering on, the station will automatically search for the sensor and the DCF signal.

How to connect the external sensor to the station?

After inserting the batteries, the station establishes the connection automatically in 3 minutes. If nothing appears, press and hold the CHANNEL button for 3 seconds to restart the search. You can connect up to 3 sensors on different channels.

What to do if the clock does not receive the DCF signal?

Place the station near a window, away from electronic devices (TV, computer). Reception is better at night. If the signal still does not appear, you can disable automatic reception by simultaneously pressing the + and - buttons for 3 seconds, then set the time manually.

How to set the time manually?

First disable the DCF signal (+ and - buttons for 3 seconds). Press and hold MODE for 3 seconds. Use + and - to adjust year, month, day, time zone, language, 12/24h format, hour, and minutes. Confirm each step with MODE. The setting ends automatically after 20 seconds of inactivity.

How to set the alarm?

Press MODE to switch to A1 or A2 display. Press and hold MODE for 3 seconds, the hour flashes. Adjust the hour with + and -, confirm with MODE, then do the same for minutes. To enable/disable the alarm, display A1 or A2 and press -. The alarm icon turns on or off.

How to use the snooze function (alarm repeat)?

When the alarm sounds, press the SNOOZE/LIGHT button. The alarm icon flashes and the sound stops for 5 minutes. To stop permanently, press any other button.

How to switch between °C and °F display?

Press the - button to toggle between °C and °F. The display changes immediately for indoor and outdoor temperature.

How to display maximum and minimum temperatures?

Press the + button multiple times to scroll through the MAX and MIN values for indoor and outdoor temperature and humidity. The records clear automatically every day at midnight.

How to set a temperature alarm?

Select the desired sensor channel with CHANNEL. Press and hold - to enable/disable the alarm. To set thresholds, press and hold CHANNEL until ON/OFF appears. Press MODE to make the high limit flash, adjust with + and -, confirm. Do the same for the low limit. The high limit must be at least 1°C higher than the low limit.

How to display sunrise/sunset or moonrise/moonset?

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.
