Frequently Asked Questions - 60.4521.01 TFA

How to set the time manually if the DCF signal is not received?

Press and hold the SET button for 3 seconds. Use the UP/DOWN buttons to set the time zone, language, date, and time. Press SET to confirm each setting. The device exits the mode after 15 seconds of inactivity.

How to activate or deactivate the alarm?

Press the ALARM button to enter alarm mode. Press UP to activate/deactivate the alarm. The alarm symbol appears or disappears on the screen.

What to do if the outdoor transmitter shows nothing?

Check the polarity of the batteries and replace them if necessary. Make sure the channel switch is in the desired position. The signal LED should flash briefly when inserting the batteries.

How to add a second or third outdoor transmitter?

Select a different channel (1, 2, or 3) on the transmitter using the switch. Insert the batteries. The base station automatically recognizes the new transmitter. Use the CHANNEL button to switch between channels.

Why does the outdoor temperature display ' - - - '?

This means the base station is not receiving the signal from the transmitter. Check the transmitter's batteries and its range. Press CHANNEL for 3 seconds to start a manual search.

How to change the batteries of the base station or transmitter?

Open the battery compartment, insert new alkaline batteries respecting polarity. After replacement, re-establish the link by pressing CHANNEL (for the transmitter) or by performing a reset.

What is the transmission range between the station and the transmitter?

The maximum range is about 100 meters in open field. Thick walls or metal structures may reduce the range.

How to perform a factory reset?

Use a pointed object to press the RESET button located in the battery compartment of the base station. This resets all settings.

The clock is not receiving the DCF signal, what to do?

Make sure DCF reception is enabled (RCC ON in setting mode). Place the device near a window, avoid electrical interference. You can also start manual reception by pressing and holding DOWN/RCC for 3 seconds.

5. Gelting started

5.1 Insert the batteries
- Remove the protective film from the display.
- Open the battery compartment of the base station and insert four new AA 1.5V batteries, polarity as illustrated
- The device will alert you with a beep and all LCD segments will be displayed for a short moment. Close the battery cover again.

Radio-controlled clock with outdoor and indoor temperature

• Open the battery compartment of the transmitter and insert two new AAA 1.5 V batteries, polarity as illustrated. The switch is set to channel 1.
• The indicator light lights up briefly. The outdoor temperature is shown. Close the battery cover again.

5.2 Outdoor values reception

- The base station will scan the outdoor temperature and the reception symbol flashes

- If the reception of outdoor temperature falls, “--” remains on the display. Check the batteries and try it again.

- You can also start the outdoor transmitter search manually later (e.g. if the transmitter is lost or if the batteries are changed). Press and hold the CHANNEL button on the base station for three seconds. The last registered transmitter (channel) will be cancelled and “--” appears on the display.

5.3 Radio-controlled time reception

• 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 some minutes, the radio-controlled time and the DCF symbol will be shown steadily on the display. In Daylight Saving Time DST is shown on the display.
• If there is no reception, you can start the initialisation manually. Press and hold the DOWN/RCC button for 3 seconds.
  • The DCF symbol flashes.
• Interrupt the reception by pressing the DOWN/RCC button again for three seconds. The DCF reception symbol disappears.
  • The DCF reception always takes place daily at 1:00. 2:00, 3:00, 4:00 and 5:00 o'clock in the morning.

• There are three different reception states:

flashing – Reception is active remains – Reception is successful disappears – No reception

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

5.4 Note on radio-controlled time

• The time is transmitted from an atomic clock near Frankfurt am Main by a DCF-77 (77.5 kHz) frequency signal with a range of about 1,500 km. Your radio-controlled clock receives the signal, converts it and always shows the exact time. The adjustment of Daylight Saving Time and Standard Time is also automatic.
• During night-time, the atmospheric interference is usually less severe. A single daily reception is adequate to keep the accuracy deviation under 1 second. In extreme cases, please place the unit close to a window to improve reception.

6. Operation

6. Installation

• When placed outdoors, choose a shady and dry place for the transmitter. Direct sunlight may trigger incorrect measurement and continuous humidity damages the electronic components needlessly.
• Before the final installation, make sure that the measured values are transmitted from the transmitter at the desired installation site to the base station in the living area.
• Do not use the base station in the vicinity of radiators, other sources of heat or in direct sunlight.
• Make sure to avoid the vicinity of any source of interference such as computer screens, TV sets or solid metal objects. Within solid walls, especially ones with metal parts, the transmission range (max. 100 m) can be reduced considerably.

9. Battery replacement

• As soon as the corresponding battery symbol appears in the display, please change the batteries of the base station or transmitter
• 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.

10. Additional outdoor transmitters

• For having more than one transmitter, select different channels for each transmitter with the 1,2,3 switch. The new transmitter will be received automatically by the base station.
• The outdoor values will be shown on the display of the base station. If you have installed more than one transmitter, press the CHANNEL button to change between the outdoor transmitters (1-3).
• You can also choose an alternating channel display. Press the CHANNEL button. After the last registered channel, a circle symbol C will appear.
