CAUTION!: When choosing where to position the weather station, make sure that it is not exposed to direct sunlight, vibrations, dust, heat, cold or moisture. Do not place the devices close to sources of heat, e.g. radiators. Otherwise they may be damaged. Do not place the devices on valuable or sensitive surfaces unless these are appropriately protected. Otherwise they may be damaged. Please ensure that neighboring devices are not operated at the same frequency of 433 MHz. Such devices may cause interference to the radio connection. Do not place the devices next to or on metal plates. Otherwise the quality of radio wave transmission may be reduced. Do not install the devices in buildings made of reinforced concrete, e.g. airports, high-rise buildings, factories or cellars. Otherwise the transmission of the radio waves between the devices may be severely impaired. Preparing to use the outdoor sensor Remove the battery compartment cover from the back of the outdoor sensor. Insert 2 x AA batteries accordingly to right polarity (+/-). The outdoor sensor is now ready for operation and the control LED (41) lights up briefly. Close the battery compartment cover. Installing the Outdoor Sensor: Find an appropriate place for the outdoor sensor, protected from rain and direct sun light. Note: Please ensure that you install the outdoor sensor within a radius of maximum 60m (open area) from the weather station. Check that there are no obstacles between the outdoor sensor and the weather station. Otherwise there may be interference of the transmission of data. For wall mounting: Hang the outdoor sensor with the mount (42) on one screw. Preparing the weather station for use Open the battery compartment (40) on the back of the weather station. Insert 2 x AA batteries accordingly to right polarity (+/-). Then close the battery compartment. As soon as the battery safety strip has been removed, the weather station starts to receive the radio signal. Note: Do not move the weather station while it is receiving the signal. This may disrupt reception.Connecting the weather station with the outdoor sensor and the DCF radio signal: After installing of batteries, the weather station attempts to establish a connection with the outdoor sensor. This process can take a few minutes. The symbol will keep flashing for few minutes. On successful connection with the outdoor sensor, the selected channel symbol (27) appears in the LC display with the channel of the outdoor sensor (if necessary you can change the channel of the outdoor sensor as shown in the section “Setting the channel”). If the connection with the outdoor sensor is not established automatically, this can be done manually as follows: Press the channel button (CH) (37) short until the desired channel (27) is displayed, then press and hold the CH button until the radio waves icon flashes. T Then press the RESET button (43) of the sensor. Weather station outdoor temperature (25) and humidity(outdoor) (22) will be displayed. As soon as the weather station has established a connection with the outdoor sensor it automatically begins to receive the DCF radio signal. This process takes several minutes and is indicated by a flashing radio tower symbol (5). When the DCF radio signal is being successfully received, the radio tower symbol is shown permanently in the display. If at the time of putting the device into operation it is not possible to synchronize with the atomic clock, you can also do the clock adjustments manually (“Setting the 12/24 hour mode /°C /°F/ hPa/ inHg/time zone /time/date/language manually”).Radio signal (DCF): The DCF signal (time signal transmitter) consists of time pulses emitted by one of the most accurate clocks in the world close to Frankfurt /Main, Germany. In ideal conditions, your weather station can pick up this signal over a distance of up to approx. 2000 km around Frankfurt / Main. Reception of the radio signal generally takes approx. 3–10 minutes. Reception can be considerably impaired by obstacles (e.g. concrete walls) or sources of interference (e.g. other electrical devices). In the event of reception problems, change the position of the weather station (e.g. to somewhere near a window). Operation Receiving the DCF radio time signal After a connection with the outdoor sensor is established or 3 minutes after the batteries are installed, the weather station automatically begins to search for the DCF radio signal. The search is shown in the LC display by the radio tower symbol (5) flashing. Note: In buildings made of reinforced concrete the reception of the radio signal may be severely impaired (see “Setting up the devices”). In order to correct any deviations from the exact time, the clock is automatically synchronized with the DCF radio signal every day at 1:00, 2:00 and 3:00. Reception of the DCF radio signal can also be started manually on the weather station. Press the + and – button (35), (36) at the same time. The weather station attempts to receive the DCF radio signal.This process takes several minutes and is indicated by a flashing radio tower symbol. If the connection with the DCF radio signal cannot be established, the search is stopped. Note: If the clock of the weather station cannot receive the DCF radio signal due to errors, too great a distance from the transmitter or similar reasons, it is possible to set the time manually. If reception of the DCF signal is successful, the manual settings are overwritten. Manual settings The reception of DCF radio signal where the weather station has been positioned may become degraded or interrupted. If this happens you can set the device manually.
