  -2 x LR03 (AAA)/1.5 V for wireless outdoor sensor
• Mains adaptor for base station
• Operating Manual

Intended Use

• The weather station – consisting of a base station and wireless outdoor sensor – displays various weather data (air pressure, temperature, etc.) pertaining to the near environment. The weather station makes a weather forecast on the basis of the measured weather data.
• Furthermore, the weather station displays the date, time, and lunar phases and is also equipped with an alarm.
• The weather station is unsuited to commercial use in weather forecasting or in taking meteorological measurements.

Safety

• The device and the mains adaptor must be kept away from children younger than 8 years.
• Children must be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the device.
• The wireless weather station and mains adaptor must not be submerged in water or other liquids. Risk of electric shock! You should therefore not use the base station of the wireless weather station in the vicinity of sources of moisture, such as wash basins.
• Only use the supplied mains adaptor and replace it only with one of the same type. The mains adaptor may only be used in dry indoor spaces and must be protected from moisture.
• Batteries, when swallowed, can be life-threatening. You should therefore store the weather station, wireless outdoor sensor, and batteries out of reach of small children. If a battery is swallowed, medical assistance must be sought immediately.
• Keep children away from packaging material and other small parts included in the scope of delivery. Risk of choking if swallowed.
• Connect the device to a correctly installed socket that has a voltage corresponding to that described under "Technical Data".
• Ensure that the socket is easily accessible, so that the mains adaptor can be pulled out quickly if necessary.

• Do not use the wireless weather station if the mains adaptor or mains adaptor cable are damaged.

• Attention: Risk of explosion if batteries are improperly used. Batteries must not be recharged, reactivated by other means, dismantled, thrown into fire, or short-circuited.

• Avoid contact of the battery fluid with skin, eyes, and mucosa. If you do come into contact with the fluid, you must immediately flush the affected areas thoroughly with clean water and promptly see a doctor.
• Protect the base station and wireless outdoor sensor from dust, impacts, extreme temperatures and direct sunlight.
• Protect the base station from moisture. Position the base station exclusively in a dry, closed room.
• The wireless external sensor is protected against moisture, it must however be protected from direct exposure to moisture, e.g. rain.

Tips on installation site

• The maximum distance between base station and wireless outdoor sensor is 60 metres. ("direct line-of-sight").
• Protective building materials, e.g. reinforced concrete, reduce or inhibit signal reception between the base station and wireless external sensor.
  Devices such as TVs, cordless phones, computers, and fluorescent tubes can likewise disrupt signal reception.

Wireless outdoor sensor

1 Hanging eyelet
2 Battery compartment

Proceed according to the order listed below and first insert the batteries into the wireless outdoor sensor.

Outdoor sensor

1. Remove the battery compartment cover on the rear side of the outdoor sensor by pressing with a little force on the imprinted arrow. Slide the battery compartment cover in the direction of the arrow, away from the outdoor sensor.
2. Insert 2 batteries of type LR03 (AAA)/1.5 V as depicted on the bottom of the battery compartment. Pay attention to the correct polarity of the batteries (+/-).
3. Slide the battery compartment cover back into place on the outdoor sensor.

Base station

You can operate the wireless weather station with the mains adaptor or with batteries.

If the wireless weather station is connected to a mains socket, then it operates via mains power, even when the batteries are inserted in the device. Remove discharged batteries from the battery compartment, since they can leak.

NOTE on material damage

• For operation via mains power, use only the mains adaptor delivered with the weather station.

Current mode

1. Insert the plug of the supplied mains adaptor into the connection socket of the base station.
2. Plug the mains adaptor into a socket that has a voltage corresponding to that described under "Technical Data".
3. Wait approx. 30 minutes. The base station requires this time to collect all weather data and to receive radio signals from the time signal transmitter.

Battery operation

1. With some force, press on the battery compartment cover and slide it to the side.
2. Insert 2 batteries of the type LR6 (AA)/1.5 V as depicted on the bottom of the battery compartment. Pay attention to the correct polarity (+/-) .
3. Then slide the battery compartment cover back into place.
4. Wait approx. 30 minutes. The base station requires this time to collect all weather data and to receive radio signals from the time signal transmitter.

Starting signal reception

As soon as the base station is supplied with current, all of the indicators on the display will fade in for a brief moment. Furthermore, the display is briefly lit up and a beep sounds.

The device then switches to receiving-mode, during which the number of radio waves indicates the quality of the reception: The more radio waves shown on the display, the better is the reception.

While receiving, only the button functions; all other buttons are deactivated during this time.

As soon as the signal has been received with sufficient strength, the corresponding data and the radio-tower symbol will be shown on the display. This process can last a few minutes.

From now on, the weather station automatically switches to receiving-mode multiple times each night. During this process, the displayed time is compared with that received from the time signal transmitter and, if necessary, corrected.

If no sufficiently strong signal has been received, the base station aborts the receiving process after a few minutes and the radio-tower symbol goes out. The receiving process is started again at a later point in time.

Main functions of the weather station

Additional functions are described in the full operating manual.

Weather forecast and weather trend

After start-up, the information can still not be used for weather forecasting for approximately 12 hours, since the weather station needs this time to collect and analyse the weather data. The weather forecast is based on the collected data and the measured air pressure changes.

The forecast pertains to the region around the weather station with a radius of approx 30 to 50km , for a period of 12 to 24 hours. The accuracy of the weather forecast lies around 75% .

sunny light cloud cloudy

rainy heavy rain snowfall

In conjunction with the air pressure trend, further weather interpretations are possible.

rising air pressure

constant air pressure

falling air pressure

Two examples:

• Weather forecast shows rain, the air pressure is falling off quickly and steeply >> strong rain is probable.
• Weather forecast shows rain, the air pressure has risen in the last 12 hours but in the last 3 hours as fallen off somewhat >> light rain is probable.

Temperature and humidity trend

For the temperature and humidity values measured by the base station and wireless sensor, the trend is displayed in the form of an arrow:

rising

constant

falling

Air pressure indicator

The currently prevailing air pressure is displayed in the chosen unit (usually: hPa = hectopascals).
