Close the battery cover again.Outdoor values reception The base station will scan the outdoor temperature and the reception symbol (Fig.1-F) ashes. If the reception of outdoor temperature (Fig.1-G) fails, “- -. - “appears on the display. Check the batteries and try it again.

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) ashes 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.

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.

If the DCF reception is activated, the manually set time will be overwritten by the DCF time when the signal is received successfully. Time zone setting In the setting mode you can make the time zone correction 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). Day-of-the week language In the setting mode you can set the day-of-the week language: GERMAN, FRENCH, ITALIAN, SPANISH, DANISH, DUTCH, CZECH, POLISH, SWEDISH and ENGLISH Alarm time setting Press the MODE/SET button (Fig.2-A) in normal mode to enter the alarm mode.

Direct sunlight may trigger incorrect measurement and continuous humidity damages the electronic components needlessly. Before the nal installation, make sure that the measured values are transmitted from the trans- mitter 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.
