• Place the instruments on a table at a distance of about 1.5 meters from each other. Avoid being close to possible sources of interference such as electronic devices and radio equipment.

• Open the battery compartment of the outdoor transmitter.

• Insert two new AA 1.5 V batteries, polarity as illustrated.

• The LED signal lamp flashes.

• Close the battery compartment.

• Open the battery compartment at the back of the base station.

• Insert two new AA 1,5 V batteries into the battery compartment. Make sure the polarities are correct.

• The device will alert you with a beep and all segments will be displayed for a short moment.

• Close the battery compartment.

6.2 Reception of outdoor transmitter

• After inserting the batteries, the transmitter will automatically transmit the temperature. The reception symbol will be flashing on the display.

• If the reception of the outdoor temperature fails, “- -” remains on the display. Check the batteries and try it again. Check if there is any source of interference.

• You can also start the initialization manually. Hold the MAX/MIN button on the base station for three seconds.

• “- -” appears on the outdoor temperature display and the recep- tion symbol flashes. The base station will scan the outdoor tem- perature.

• Press the TX button in the transmitter's battery compartment. The transmission of the outdoor data takes place immediately and a successful reception will be confirmed by a beep tone. PRIO – Wireless Thermometer

6.3 Reception of the DCF frequency signal

• After the reception of the outdoor values, the clock will now scan the DCF frequency signal and the DCF symbol flashes on the display.

• When the time code is successfully received after 3-10 minutes, the radio-controlled time, the date and the DCF symbol will be shown steadily on the display.

• If reception fails, the clock will then try to receive the signal every 2 hours again.

• After successful reception, DCF radio reception takes place daily at 1:00, 2:00, 3:00, 4:00 and 5:00 in the morning.

• You can also activate the DCF reception manually. Press the SET button. The clock will now scan the DCF frequency signal and the DCF symbol flashes.

• If the clock cannot detect the DCF-signal (e.g. due to interfer- ence, transmitting distance, etc.), the time can be set manually.

• The clock will then work as a normal quartz clock. (see: Manual settings).

6.4 Radio-controlled time reception

The time base for the radio-controlled time is a caesium atomic clock operated by the Physikalisch Technische Bundesanstalt based in Braunschweig (Brunswick), Germany. It has a time devia- tion of less than one second in one million years. The time is coded and transmitted from Mainflingen near Frankfurt via the fre- quency signal DCF-77 (77.5 kHz) and has a transmitting range of approximately 1,500 km. Your radio clock receives the signal, con- verts it and always shows the exact time. The adjustment to Day- light Saving Time (summer/winter time) is automatic. The recep- tion quality depends mainly on geographic location. Normally there should be no reception problems within a 1,500 km radius around Frankfurt.

Therefore, please note the following steps:

• The recommended distance to any interfering sources like com- puter screens or TV sets is at least 1.5 - 2 meters.

• Within concrete walls (reinforced with steel) such as basements, the received signal is naturally weakened. In extreme cases, please place the unit close to a window to improve reception.

• During night-time, the atmospheric interference is usually less severe and reception is possible in most cases. A single daily reception is adequate to keep the accuracy deviation under 1 second.

• The device will automatically quit the setting mode if no button is pressed for 20 seconds.

• Press and hold the + or – button in setting mode for fast mode.

• Press and hold the SET button in normal mode for three seconds to enter the setting mode.

• DEU (default) flashes on the display.

• Press the + or – button to set the day-of-the week language: GER- MAN (DEU), SPANISH (ESP), FRENCH (FRA) or ENGLISH (ENG).

• If you select English, the display will now appear in English.

• Press the SET button again to do the settings in the following sequence: the button tone (BEEP ON - default), DCF reception (DCF ON - default), the time zone (UTC 0 - default), the 12 or 24 hours system (24 Hr - default), the hours, the minutes, the year, the month, the date, the month/day sequence D/M or M/D (D/M - default) and the temperature unit °C or °F (TEMP °C - default). Press the + or – button to adjust it.

• Confirm the settings with the SET button.

• If the DCF reception is activated (DCF ON), the manually set time will be overwritten by the DCF time when the signal is received successfully. PRIO – Wireless Thermometer

• Press the + or – button to activate (BEEP ON) or deactivate (BEEP OFF) the key tone in setting mode.

• Confirm the setting with the SET button.

• By default, the DCF reception is activated (DCF ON) and after successful reception of the DCF signal no manual time setting is necessary.

• Press the + or – button in setting mode if you want to deactivate the DCF reception (DCF OFF).

• Confirm the setting with the SET button.

• The DCF reception symbol disappears.

7.1.3 Time zone setting

• In the setting mode, press the + or – button to make the time zone correction (-12/+12).

• The time zone correction is needed for countries where the DCF signal can be received but the time zone is different from the DCF time (e.g. +1=one hour plus).

• Confirm the setting with the SET button.

7.1.4 24- or 12-hour system setting

• You can choose between the 12- or 24-hour system in setting mode.

8. Positioning and mounting of the base station and the trans-

• Place the base station in any room of the house. Make sure to avoid the vicinity of any source of interference such as comput- er screens, TV sets or solid metal objects.

• The transmitter can be wall mounted (mounting hole at the back). When placed outdoors, choose a shady and dry place for the transmitter. Direct sunlight may trigger incorrect measure- ment and continuous humidity damages the electronic compo- nents needlessly.

• Once the desired location is chosen, check whether the data transfer from the transmitter to the base station is possible (transmission range of up to 100 m in open areas). Within solid walls, especially ones with metal parts, the transmission range can be reduced considerably.

• If necessary, choose another position for the transmitter and/or base station. PRIO – Wireless Thermometer

9. Care and maintenance

• Clean the devices with a soft damp cloth. Do not use solvents or scouring agents.

• Remove the batteries if you do not use the devices for a long period of time.

• Store the devices in a dry place.

9.1 Battery replacement

• Change the batteries of the outdoor transmitter, when the bat- tery symbol appears on the display of the outdoor temperature.

• Change the batteries of the base station, when the battery sym- bol appears on the indoor temperature display.

• Please note: When the batteries are changed, the contact between the outdoor transmitter and the base station must be restored – so always restart both devices or start a manual transmitter search.
