Frequently Asked Questions - WS 6445 TECHNOLINE

How to set the time manually if DCF reception fails?

Hold the SET button for a few seconds. The hour digits flash. Use the ▲ and ▼ buttons to adjust the hour, then press SET to move to minutes. Repeat to set year, month, day. To set the time zone, hold SET until -1/00/01 is displayed.

What to do if the screen remains blank after plugging in?

First check that the mains adapter is properly plugged in and the outlet works. If the screen remains blank, use a pointed object to press the RESET button on the back of the unit. You can also insert the backup batteries (3 AAA) and try again.

How to add an additional outdoor sensor (channel 2 or 3)?

Make sure the additional sensor is set to the desired channel (position 2 or 3 of the selector). On the station, press ▲/CHANNEL to select the channel (2 or 3), then hold the button until the search icon flashes. Insert batteries into the sensor; the data should appear within seconds.

What does the frost alert icon mean?

The frost alert icon (a snowflake) appears when the outdoor temperature is below +3 °C. This indicates a risk of frost.

How to change the backlight color?

When the mains adapter is plugged in, the backlight changes color automatically. Press the Zz button once to freeze the current color. Press again to resume color change. Hold Zz to dim or increase brightness.

Why is the outdoor temperature not displayed (dashes)?

This means the wireless link with the sensor is lost. Check that the sensor is powered and the channel selector is in the correct position (default 1). Hold the ▲/CHANNEL button to restart the search. Move sources of interference (screens, metal) away from between the station and the sensor.

How to activate or deactivate the alarms?

Press the AL1·2 ON·OFF button to cycle through modes: alarm 1 only, alarm 2 only, both alarms, or none. The corresponding icons (A1, A2) appear on the screen. To set the alarm time, press SET in normal mode to display the alarm, then hold SET to change hours/minutes.

What is the range of the wireless outdoor sensor?

The range is approximately 50 meters in open air without obstacles. Walls, ceilings, trees, and other obstructions reduce the range by half per obstacle.

What to do if DCF reception constantly fails?

Place the station near a window, away from any metal objects and electrical devices (televisions, computers). Automatic reception occurs every night between 1 am and 5 am. You can start manual reception by holding the ▼/WAVE button. If failure persists, set the time manually.

How to reset the weather station to factory settings?

Use a pointed object (e.g., a paperclip) to press the RESET button located on the back of the unit. All settings (time, alarm, etc.) will be erased. You will need to reprogram everything.

WEATHER FORECAST AND PRESSURE TREND INDICATOR

Your weather station has a built-in barometric sensor which measures the change of the air pressure over time. Your weather station takes around 12 hours to gather and average air- pressure readings to provide a weather forecast for next 12 hours.

WEATHER ICONS

There are six possible types of weather icons that will be displayed:

SUNNY		RAINY
SUNNY AND CLOUDY (PARTLY SUNNY)		STORMY
CLOUDY		FROST ALERT	Frost Alert Icon appears when outdoor temperature is below +3°C

AIR PRESSURE TENDENCY INDICATORS

When the arrow appears, the air pressure is increasing, the weather is expected to improve.

When the arrow appears, the air pressure is decreasing, the weather is expected to become worse.

When the arrow appears, the air pressure change is stable.

Remarks: Moving your weather station from one floor of a building to another floor will affect the accuracy of your weather station, which should operate at the same altitude all the time. If you move it to a new location, it will take 12 hours to get stable and accurate again.

Our weather station provides next 12 hours weather forecast. It may not match with the current weather condition outside.
