• Open the main unit battery cover located at the back of the main unit and insert 3 pcs AA batteries into the battery compartment and close the battery cover.

• Pull away the radiation shield from the thermo-hygro sensor to reveal the 2 sockets (the sockets for the wind sensor and rain sensor)

• 1. Connect the wind speed sensor cable into the socket at the bottom of the of the wind direction sensor

2. Connect the cable from wind direction and the cable from rain sensor to the

corresponding sockets of the thermo-hygro sensor by clicking them into place. Make sure that rain and wind cables are connected to the correct sockets.

3. Open the battery cover and insert 2 pcs AA batteries into the battery compartment and

First insert the batteries of main unit, then insert the batteries of the outdoor sensor within 3 minutes after the main unit is powered on, to assure that the sensor data is received well. In case of the outdoor sensor data is not received, please press

key for more than 3 seconds to synchronize the sensors signal again.

Every time the batteries are replaced in the main unit, it will loose all the weather data.

Initial Initial Initial Operation Operation Operation Operation

• After inserting the batteries, the main unit will connect with the outdoor sensor by RF signal. The RF signal symbol at the out area will flash.

This process takes about 3 minutes. Then t he display shows the outdoor temperature /humidity/wind speed/wind direction/rainfall. In case of failure of reception, press “ ␇ “ for more than 3 seconds to start a new reception.

The automatic receiving of the DCF77 radio controlled clock (RCC) signal begins after the outdoor RF reception has been completed.

• While the RCC reception p rocess is going on, t he flashing symbol “ radio tower “ appears in the time display area. In case the reception is good, the waves of the “ radio tower ” are blinking. If the reception is not good, only the tower (without waves) will be blinking

• Once the RCC reception is successful, the symbol “ radio tower “ will be shown permanently , no flashing, with the waves. If, due to bad reception or no automatic RCC time reception is possible, follow the steps below to set the time manually . Manual Manual Manual Manual time time time time set-up set-up set-up set-up

Explanation for the time zone display: You can manually adjust the clock to the time zone of a country (within approx 1500km distance to Frankfurt/Main in Germany) where the clock receives the DCF77 signal but where the actual time differs from the time transmitted by the DCF77 time signal. If, e.g. the time in a given country is 1 hour ahead of the German time, set the time zone display to 01. The clock is now DCF77 controlled but the time displayed is one hour ahead.

Press and hold the key “

“ for 3 seconds to search for the outdoor sensor. The RF signal symbol on the display in the OUT area will flash while the signal is searched. The RF reception is more problematic in rooms with concrete walls (e.g. in the basement) and in office buildings (interference from electronic equipment like TV, PC, Mobile Phone, Office Lights etc). The transmission distance will be shorter in such cases, For extreme cases, please put the main unit closer to the window and away from any potential interference.

• The clock synchroni z es with the DCF77 radio signal automatically and daily in the early hours at 1:00, 2:00 and 3:00 to correct potential time deviations. If the synchroni z ation is unsuccessful ( “ radio tower “ symbol disappears), a further synchroni z ation attempt is made at 4:00 and 5:00. If it is not successful, the reception will stop during the day. Information Information Information Information

Flashing “ radio tower ” symbol stands for DCF77 radio signal reception started.

Continuous “ radio tower ” symbol stands for DCF77 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 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 more likely to be successful during night. One synchronization per day is sufficient to keep the time display accuracy at 1 second. Tip Tip Tip Tip You can adjust the time manually in case the clock cannot receive the DCF77 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. ® Ytora is a registered trademark of OS Technology AG/SA, Switzerland © OS Technology AG/SA.
