LOW BATTERY CONDITION DISPLAY
The weather station displays the LOW BATTERY CONDITION symbol to remind you that either the batteries of the base station or the outdoor sensor need to be exchanged. We advise you to change ALL batteries if one of the components show the LOW BATTERY CONDITION icon. There is a fair chance the other component will show the same icon shortly after you have changed on the the components batteries. The complete battery exchange guarantees a smooth operation of your weatherstation.

RF CONNECTION TO THE OUTDOOR SENSOR
- Press and hold the key "SEARCH" for 3 seconds to search for the outdoor sensor. The RF signal symbol at the outside area will flash when it is trying to connec . The RF reception is weaker in rooms with concrete walls e.g. in the basement and in office buildings. The distance will be shortened if you have interference. For extreme cases, please put the main unit near a window
RECEPTION OF THE RADIO CONTROLLED TIME SIGNAL
- The DCF77 radio signal search starts automatically about 3 minutes after the battery exchange. The "RADIO TOWER" signal is flashing.
-
Press“▲” and “▼” for more than 3 seconds to enter or quit the Radio controlled signal reception
-
The clock synchronizes with the DCF77 radio signal automatically and daily from AM 1:00 to 3:00 to correct potential time deviations each hour. If the synchronization is unsuccessful the "RADIO TOWER" symbol disappears from the display. A further synchronization attempt is made from 4:00 and 5:00 until it has been successful. This process is repeated up until 5:00 AM. If the synchronization fails the daily reception will stop. New synchronizations will be done the next night starting 01.00 AM
INFORMATION
The Flashing "RADIO TOWER" symbol stands for DCF77 radio signal reception started.
- The continuous "RADIO TOWER" symbol stands for DCF77 radio signal reception successful.
- Please observe a minimal distance of 2.5 meter to sources of interference such as televisions or computer screens.
The radio signal is weaker in rooms with concrete walls e.g. in the basement and in office buildings. For extreme cases, please put the main unit 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.
The DCF77 Radio signal can be received up to a distance of 1.500km from Frankfurt/Main.
ENVIRONMENT FRIENDLY DISPOSAL
The European Directive 2002/96/EC on Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment – WEEE – requires that old household electrical appliances should not be disposed of in the normal unsorted municipal waste stream. Old appliances should be collected separately in order to optimize the recovery and recycling of the materials they contain and reduce the impact on human health and the environment.
