1. Getting started

Insert the batteries

• Open the battery compartment (Fig.2-M) 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.
• Open the battery compartment (Fig.3-C) and insert two new AAA 1.5 V batteries, polarity as illustrated.
• The indicator light (Fig.3-A) lights up briefly. The outdoor temperature is shown. Press the °C/°F button in the battery compartment (Fig.3-G) of the transmitter, to change between °C (Celsius) or °F (Fahrenheit) as temperature unit. Close the battery cover again.

Outdoor values reception

● The base station will scan the outdoor temperature and the reception symbol (Fig.1-F) flashes.
- If the reception of outdoor temperature (Fig.1-G) fails, “- - . -” appears 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 RF SEARCH button (Fig.2-H) on the base station for three seconds. Then press the RESET button (Fig.3-F) in the battery compartment of the outdoor transmitter.

Radio-controlled time reception

• The clock will now scan the DCF frequency signal and the DCF symbol (Fig.1-C) 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 (Fig.1-B) is shown on the display.
• If there is no reception, you can start the initialisation manually. Press and hold the ▼/ (Fig.2-C) button for 3 seconds.
  ● The DCF symbol (Fig.1-C) flashes.
• Interrupt the reception by pressing the ▼/ ◎ button again for three seconds. The DCF reception symbol disappears.
  ● The DCF reception always takes place daily at 3:00 o'clock in the morning.

flashing	Reception is active
remains	Reception is successful
dlappears	No reception

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

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 to Daylight Saving Time (summer/winter time) is 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.

3. 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. 70 m) can be reduced considerably.

4. Battery replacement

• As soon as the corresponding battery symbol appears in the display, please change the batteries of the base station (Fig.1-L) or transmitter (Fig.1-H).

• 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.
