• The base station will scan the outdoor values of the three transmitters. The reception symbol will be flashing. If the reception is successful, the outdoor temperature and humidity appear on the base station display, next to the corresponding channel number.

• If the reception of the outdoor values fails, “- -” appears on the base station display. Check the batteries and try it again. Check if there is any source of interference.

• You can start the initialization manually. On the base station, press and hold the SEARCH / SNZ button for two seconds. The registered transmitters (channels) will be canceled.

• Press the TX button in the transmitter battery compartment. The transmission of the outdoor data takes place immediately and the base station gives a “beep” sound if it received the values.

6.4 Radio-controlled time reception

• After the base station has completed the search for the transmitters, the device starts scanning the DCF signal (radio signal) and the DCF reception symbol will be flashing.

• When the time code is successfully received after 2-12 minutes, the radio-controlled time, the date and the DCF symbol will be shown steadily on the display.

• You can start the initialization manually.

• Press and hold the -/RCC button for 3 seconds.

• The DCF reception symbol will be flashing.

• Interrupt the reception by pressing the -/RCC button again.

• The DCF reception always takes place hourly between 2:00 and 5:00 o'clock in the morning. If the reception is not successfully received until 5:00 o'clock, the next DCF reception attempt will happen at 2:00 o'clock in the following morning.

• If the clock cannot detect the DCF-signal (e.g. due to interference, transmitting distance, etc.), the time can be set manually. The DCF reception symbol disappears and the clock will then work as a normal quartz clock (see: Manual settings).

• Place the base station and the transmitters on a table at a distance of about 1.5 meters from each other. Avoid being close to possible sources of interference such as electronic devices and radio equipment.

1. Open the screwed battery compartment of the first transmitter.

2. Set the switch to the channel 1 position.

3. Insert two new 1,5 V AAA batteries, polarity as illustrated.

4. Close the battery compartment carefully.

• Repeat steps 1-4 for the other two transmitters. Select different channels for each transmitter with the switch.

• Remove the protective film from the base station display.

• Open the base station battery compartment and insert two new AAA 1.5V batteries. Make sure the polarity is correct. The device will alert you with a beep and all segments will be displayed for a short moment. Close the battery compartment again.

• The indoor temperature and humidity appear on the base station display.

6.2 Atmospheric pressure setting

• After batteries are inserted or by holding down the BARO button for 2 seconds in normal mode, the atmospheric pressure will be flashing for 20 seconds. Enter the value during this time by pressing the +/°C °F or -/RCC button. The relative atmospheric pressure is referred to the sea level’s pressure and has to be adjusted first. Ask for the present atmospheric pressure of your home area (Local weather service, Internet, optician, calibrated instruments in public buildings, airport).

• The device will automatically quit the setting mode if no button is pressed for 20 seconds.

7.1 Manual setting of the clock and calendar

• Press and hold the MODE button for 3 seconds. The hour digit will be flashing. Press the +/°C °F or -/RCC button to adjust hours. Press the MODE button to make the settings in the following sequence: the minutes, the year, the month, the day, the language of the day of the week (ENG - default), the 12 or 24 hours system (24hr - default), DCF reception RCC on - default) and the time zone (00 - default). Press the +/°C °F or -/RCC button to adjust it.

• Confirm the setting with the MODE button.

• Once the DCF time signal is successfully received, the manually set time is overwritten, if the DCF reception is activated.

7.1.1 Day-of-the week language

• In the setting mode you can choose between the day-of-the week language: German (GER), English (ENG), Italian (ITA), French (FRE), Dutch (DUT), Spanish (SPA) and Danish (DAN).

7.1.2 12/24-hour display setting

• In the setting mode you can choose between the 12 - or 24 hour system.

• In 12 HR system AM (before noon) or PM (after noon) appears on the display.

• By default, the DCF reception is activated (RCC on) and after successful reception of the DCF signal no manual adjustment is necessary.

• Press the +/°C °F or -/RCC button if you want to deactivate the DCF reception (RCC OFF).

• There are four different reception symbols: radio waves are flashing - reception is active radio waves stop flashing - reception is successful tower symbol only - no reception/time is set manually no symbol - reception is deactivated/turned off

6.4.1 Note on radio-controlled time

The time base for the radio-controlled time is a caesium atomic clock operated by the Physikalisch Technische Bundesanstalt based in Braunschweig (Brunswick), Germany. It has a time deviation of less than one second in one million years. The time is coded and transmitted from Mainflingen near Frankfurt via the frequency signal DCF-77 (77.5 kHz) and has a transmitting range of approximately 1,500 km. The adjustment to Daylight Saving Time (summer/winter time) is automatic. In Daylight Sav- ing Time the DST symbol is shown on the display. The reception quality depends mainly on geographic location. Normally there should be no reception problems within a 1,500 km radius around Frankfurt. Therefore, please note the following steps:

• The recommended distance to any interfering sources like computer screens or TV sets is at least

• Within concrete walls (reinforced with steel) such as basements, the received signal is naturally weakened. In extreme cases, please place the unit close to a window to improve reception.

• During night-time, the atmospheric interference is usually less severe and reception is possible in most cases. A single daily reception is adequate to keep the accuracy deviation under 1 second.

• Important: Buttons will not function while scanning DCF or transmitters signal, unless they are well received or stopped manually. TFA_No. 35.1142_Anleit_02_23 01.02.2023 16:56 Uhr Seite 142928 Wireless weather station

Sunny Slightly cloudy Cloudy Rainy Stormy

• The weather station has five different weather symbols (sunny, slightly cloudy, cloudy, rainy, stormy).

• The weather forecast covers a range of 12 hours and indicates only a general weather trend. For example, if the current weather is cloudy and the rain symbol is displayed, it does not mean the product is faulty because it is not raining. It simply means that the atmospheric pressure has dropped and the weather is expected to get worse but not necessarily rainy. The accuracy is about 70 %.

• The sun symbol also appears on a starry night. Note!

• Please note that the forecast symbol will become more defined in the course of operation. The fore- cast symbol is active right from the start, however, the reliability of the forecasts increases with the amount of data collected.

7.4 Temperature and humidity

• You can make the time zone correction (+12/-12) in the setting mode.

• 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).

• Press the MODE button in normal mode, to enter the alarm mode.

• The alarm symbol will appear and the hour digit will be flashing. The alarm is activated.

• Press the +/°C °F or -/RCC button to adjust the hours.

• Confirm the setting with the MODE button and set the minutes in the same way.

• Press the MODE button again.

• The current time and the alarm symbol appear on the display.

• When the adjusted alarm time is reached, the alarm will ring.

• The alarm symbol will be flashing.

• If the alarm is not stopped manually, the ascending alarm tone automatically turns off after two min- utes and will be reactivated at the same set time.

• Press any button (except SEARCH / SNZ) and the alarm will stop.

• Press SEARCH / SNZ button to activate the snooze function.

• Once the snooze function is activated, Zz will be flashing on the display.

• The alarm will be interrupted for 10 minutes.

7.2.1 Activate/turn off alarm

• Press the +/°C °F or -/RCC button in alarm mode to activate or deactivate the alarm function.

8. Positioning and mounting of the base station and transmitters

• When placed outdoors, choose a shady and dry place for the transmitter(s). Direct sunlight may trigger incorrect measurement and continuous humidity damages the electronic components need- lessly.

• Place the base station in the living room. Avoid the vicinity of any source of interference such as computer screens, TV sets or solid metal objects.

• Once the desired location is chosen, check if the transmission from transmitters to the base station is possible (transmission range of up to 60 m in open areas). Within solid walls, especially with metal parts, the transmission range can be reduced considerably.

• If necessary choose another position for the transmitter(s) and/or base station.

• Is the transmission successfully, you can wall mount the transmitters or place them onto a flat sur- face.

9. Care and maintenance

• Clean the device with a soft damp cloth. Do not use solvents or scouring agents.

• Remove the batteries from all instruments if you do not use the products for a long period of time.

• Keep the devices in a dry place.

9.1 Battery replacement

• When the battery symbol appears on a channel display, change the batteries of the respective trans- mitter.

• Change the batteries of the base station, when the battery symbol appears on the display of the indoor values.

• Please note: When the batteries are changed, the contact between the transmitter and the base station must be restored – so always insert new batteries into all devices or start a manual transmitter search.

• MAX appears on the display.

• You can now get the indoor and outdoor highest values for the temperature and humidity displayed since the last reset.

• Press the MAX / MIN button again.

• MIN appears on the display.

• You can now get the indoor and outdoor lowest values for the temperature and humidity displayed since the last reset.

• Press the MAX / MIN button once more, to go back to the current values display.

• The maximum and minimum values are automatically reset at midnight.

• To clear the recorded maximum or minimum readings manually, press and hold the MAX / MIN button for two seconds while the maximum or minimum values are displayed.

7.4.2 Temperature unit setting

• Press the +|°C °F button in normal mode to change between °C (Celsius) or °F (Fahrenheit) as tem- perature unit.

• The trend arrows indicate whether the values for temperature and humidity are currently increasing, steady or decreasing.
