In case of the outdoor sensor data received failure, please press “OUT” key for more than 3 seconds to synchronize the transmission signal. Every time the power adaptor gets unplugged and with no batteries inserted, the main unit will lose all the weather data. Every time the outdoor sensor batteries are replaced, the sensor will synchronize with the main unit again. You must press the “OUT” key for more than 3 seconds to synchronize the reception signal. Mounting the main unit The main unit can be placed onto any flat surface or wall mounted at the desired location by hanging hole, It is important to check that the radio signal (from the outdoor sensor and from the DCF77 time signal) can be received well before mounting.

1) Mounting the outdoor sensor onto the stainless steel mast

For accurate results, the outdoor sensor mast should be securely mounted onto a horizontal surface and in an open area away from trees and other coverings where rainfall or wind speed may be reduced causing inaccurate reading. The following diagram shows how the parts go together.2) Mounting the wind speed sensor to the plastic bracket：first check the wind-fan can rotate freely before fixing. The wind speed sensor should now be mounted onto the bracket provided to allow the wind to travel around the sensor unhindered from all directions.Then fix it with bolt and screw. Please follow the below display:3) Mounting the wind direction sensor to the bracket: first check the wind direction sensor before fixing, the wind direction sensor should now be mounted onto the bracket provided to allow the wind to travel around the sensor unhindered from all directions. Then fix it with bolt and screw. There is one cable from wind speed sensor, please insert it into the socket under the wind direction sensor. Please follow the below display:

Attention!! Please align the “North” indicator sticker with the NORTH direction to enable it to record accurate reading

4) Mounting the rain sensor to the bracket: there are vertical engraved lines at the

bottom edge of the round cover and the sensor part, you only need adjust the two line into one position, then turn clockwise, the rain sensor part will be connected well, then fix them with 4 screws and bolt onto the plastic bracket. Please follow the below display： Note: The cover of the Rain Gauge can be removed by rotating in an anti-clockwise direction. When replacing the cover it will only fit in one position. When you find the correct position it fits snugly on, and then rotate it clockwise to secure the cover in place. It is important that the cover is securely located.

5) Mounting the thermo-hygro sensor to the bracket:

Once the wind sensors and rain sensor are fixed onto the bracket, insert the cables from the Wind Sensor & the Rain Gauge into the correct sockets. These are label on the plastic under the sockets.So that data can be transmitted to the main unit, then put the radiation shield onto the thermo-hygro sensor, please follow the below display:

Note: please don’t put in or take off the plug very often,or put the plug outside in the air so long time to avoid any damage of the plug , as this can result in bad connection.

6) Mounting all the sensors onto the stainless steel mast and fix the whole parts at

outdoor open area (please refer to the illustration above) Note: please make sure all the cables are connected well into the sockets) Attention!! Ensure that the outdoor sensor can be received from the base station at its intended location before the final installation of the outdoor sensor takes place at its final location. Initial Operation After inserting the batteries, the altitude flashing in meters, press “UP “ or “DOWN “ to set the altitude of your position, then press ”SNOOZE/LIGHT” to confirm The weather icon flashing, press “UP “ or “DOWN “ to choose the weather, then press ”SNOOZE/LIGHT” to confirm The main unit will connect with the outdoor sensor by RF signal. The RF signal symbol at the out area will flash. This process takes about 3 minutes. Then the display shows the outdoor temperature /humidity/wind speed/wind direction/rainfall, in case of failure of reception , please press “OUT“ for more than 3 seconds to receive again. The automatic receiving of the DCF77 radio signal begins after 3 minutes of outdoor RF reception. This RCC reception process is going on,the flashing symbol “radio tower“ appears in the time display area at the same time. Once radio signal receiving is successful, the display shows the symbol “radio tower“ continuously Reception of radio controlled signal DCF77 radio signal search starts automatically about 3 minutes after battery exchange. The “radio tower” signal is flashing. Press “IN” for more than 3 seconds to enter or quit the Radio controlled signal reception Flashing “radio tower” symbol stands for DCF77 radio signal reception started. Continuous “radio tower” symbol stands for DCF77 radio signal reception successful. If the synchronization is unsuccessful, the “radio tower“ symbol disappears. The clock synchronizes with the DCF77 radio signal automatically and daily from 1:00AM to 3:00AM to correct potential time deviations each hour. If the reception is unsuccessful, a further synchronization attempt is made at 4:00AM and 5:00AM until success. If it is still not success at 5:00AM, the daily reception will stop. Information Please observe a minimal distance of 2.5m to sources of interference such as televisions or computer screens. The radio signal is weaker in rooms with concrete walls (e.g. in the basement) and in office buildings. For extreme cases, please put the main unit near a window. There are less atmospheric disturbances at night. A radio time signal reception is usually possible at that time. One synchronization per day is sufficient to keep the time display accuracy at 1 second.Hint You can adjust the time manually in case the clock cannot receive the DCF radio signal (due to interference, large distance to the sender, obstructions like mountains, etc.) As soon as the radio signal can be received, the clock will be adjusted automatically.
