1. Turn the rain bucket clockwise.

2. Remove the paper card from the tipping ap.

3. Fit the rain bucket back on by turning it counter-clockwise; you should hear a click.

4. Turn the sensor upside down.

5. Turn the mounting ring clockwise.

6. Remove the 3 screws on the watertight pad and detach it.

7. Underneath the pad is the battery compartment; insert 2× 1.5 V AA batteries.

9. Ax the mounting ring to the location of choice using the screws and t the sensor onto it by

turning counter-clockwise; you should hear a click. Getting Started

1. Insert batteries rst into the wireless sensor (2× 1.5 V AA), then into the weather station (3× 1.5 V

AAA) and plug the power adapter into the station.

2. When inserting the batteries, make sure the polarity is correct to avoid damaging the weather

station or sensor. Only use 1.5 V alkaline batteries of the same type; do not use rechargeable

1.2 V batteries. The lower voltage may cause both of the units to not function.

3. Place the two units next to each other. The weather station will detect the sensor signal within

3 minutes. If signal from the sensor is not detected, long press the CH button on the weather station to repeat the search.

4. If the outdoor temperature reading disappears from the screen, long press the CH button on the

station and remove and reinsert the batteries in the sensor. The weather station will reset all values and repeat the search for sensor signal.

5. We recommend placing the sensor on the north side of the house. The range of the sensor may

decrease substantially in areas with a large number of obstacles.

6. To ensure correct measurement, the sensor must be placed in an elevated position (at least

1.5 m) onto a horizontal surface and outside of buildings and structures. The sensor must be

mounted rmly to prevent its damaging.

7. Place the sensor in a place where rain falls directly. The sensor should be placed in an open

space at a sucient distance from surrounding trees and bushes.6

8. Rainwater must be able to continuously and freely ow out of the sensor. Always check that

water is not accumulating in the bottom of the sensor.

9. When choosing a suitable place to mount the sensor, check that the main station is within

range of the sensor. The range of the sensor may decrease substantially in areas with a large number of obstacles.

10. Do not place the sensor onto metal objects; doing so will reduce the transmission range.

11. If the low battery icon

is displayed on the station‘s screen, replace batteries in the sensor or weather station. Radio-Controlled Clock (DCF77) After being registered by the wireless sensor, the weather station will automatically start searching for DCF77 signal (DCF for short) for 7 minutes; the icon ashes. During the search, no other items on the display will be updated and the buttons will be disabled (except SNOOZE/LIGHT). Once the signal is detected, the icon will stop ashing ( stays on the screen) and current time will be displayed. If no signal is detected, the DCF icon will not be shown. Long-press the DOWN button to search for DCF signal again. To cancel the search for signal, long- press the DOWN button again. DCF signal will be synchronised daily between 2:00 and 3:00 am. During daylight saving time, the icon will be displayed. Note: If the weather station detects DCF signal but the current time on the display is incorrect (e.g. shifted ±1 hour), you must set the correct time zone for the country where you are using the station, (see Manual Settings). In standard conditions (at safe distance from sources of interference, such as TV sets or computer monitors), the reception of time signal takes several minutes.If the weather station does not detect the signal, follow these steps:

1. Move the weather station to another location and try to detect the DCF signal again.

2. Check the distance of the clock from sources of interference (computer monitors or television

sets). The distance should be at least 1.5 to 2 m during the reception of signal.

3. When receiving DCF signal, do not place the weather station near metal doors, window frames

and other metal structures or objects (washing machines, dryers, refrigerators, etc.).

4. In reinforced concrete structures (cellars, high-rise buildings, etc.), the reception of DCF signal

is weaker, depending on the conditions. In extreme cases, place the weather station close to a window in the direction of a transmitter. Reception of DCF radio signal is aected by the following factors:

• thick walls and insulation, basements and cellars;

• inadequate local geographical conditions (these are dicult to assess in advance);

• atmospheric disturbances, thunderstorms, electrical appliances with no interference elimination, television sets and computers located near the DCF receiver. Manual Settings

1. Long-press the MODE button.

2. Then, repeatedly press the MODE button to choose settings for: time zone – 12/24 h – hours

– minutes – year – month – day. You can navigate between the values by pressing the MODE button, set values using UP/DOWN. The calendar is in English. Setting °C/°F Temperature Unit Repeatedly pressing the UP button switches temperature units between °C/°F. Setting Unit of Pressure/Precipitation Repeatedly pressing the DOWN button sets the pressure and precipitation units to inHg/inches or hPa/mm. Atmospheric Pressure The current pressure value is displayed in eld no. 17. Repeatedly pressing the DOWN button sets the unit of pressure to inHg or hPa.7 Moving the weather station to another place will aect the measured values. Measurement will stabilise within 12 hours of battery insertion or relocation of the weather station. Comfort Level Indicator – Smiley Displayed in eld no. 12. Comfortable environment Comfortable environment Dry environment Dry environment Wet environment Temperature and Humidity Trend Temperature and humidity trend indicator rising constant falling Weather Trend Weather trend indicator improvement no changes worsening Displaying of Measured Precipitation and Max/Min Temperature and Humidity Values By default, the precipitation value displayed on the screen is for the current day (today‘s). Repeatedly pressing the HISTORY button will display: Precipitation – yesterday, this week, this month, this year, last year, max/min indoor temperature/ humidity, max/min outdoor temperature/humidity. Note: To manually erase the memory of measured temperature and humidity values, long-press the HISTORY button while viewing the history of measurements. When the maximum precipitation value of 999.99 mm is exceeded, 10.XX will appear on the screen and the history of measurements will need to be erased. If you wish to erase the history of precipitation measurements, disconnect the adapter/remove the batteries from the weather station (the weather station will have to be manually set again). Note to measured precipitation values: Light rain = 0.25 mm/hour Slight rain = 1 mm/hour Rain = 4 mm/hour Heavy rain = 16 mm/hour Rainstorm = 35 mm/hour Heavy rainstorm = 100 mm/hour Chart of Pressure / Outdoor Temperature / Outdoor Humidity History Field no. 3 shows a chart of pressure / outdoor temperature / outdoor humidity history over up to the last 12 hours. The chart is animated – the values are displayed automatically and repeatedly every 5 seconds. The animation cannot be turned o and the order/setting of values cannot be changed. If you wish to erase the history of measurements, disconnect the adapter/remove the batteries from the weather station (the weather station will have to be manually set again). Setting an Alarm Press the MODE button; AL will appear on the screen. Then, long-press the MODE button again; the time setting will start ashing. Use the UP/DOWN buttons to set the alarm time.

Permanent screen illumination is automatically set. Repeatedly pressing the SNZ/LIGHT button switches between 3 illumination levels (100% – 50% – o).

2. When powered only by 3× 1.5 V AAA batteries:

Screen illumination is o. Pressing the SNZ/LIGHT button will turn screen illumination on for 10 sec- onds, then it turns o again. When the station is only powered by batteries, permanent screen illumination cannot be activated! Note: The inserted batteries serve as backup for the measured/set data. If batteries are not inserted and you unplug the adapter, all data will be erased. 5 V/1 A USB Port The port is used for charging compatible USB devices. The charging cable is not included. The USB port only functions when the station is powered from the adapter. Setting Outdoor Rain and Temperature Alert Long-press the ALERT button; rain alert setting will start ashing. Repeatedly pressing the UP/DOWN buttons activates or deactivates the rain alert. Conrm by pressing ALERT; the precipitation value will start ashing. Repeatedly press the UP/DOWN buttons to set the alert value of your choice (0.25 to 999.99 mm). Conrm by pressing alert ALERT; the station switches to temperature alert settings. Repeatedly pressing the UP/DOWN buttons deactivates the maximum temperature alert , minimum temperature alert or both . Conrm by pressing ALERT; the maximum temperature value will start ashing. Repeatedly press the UP/DOWN buttons to set the alert value of your choice. Conrm by pressing ALERT; the minimum temperature value will start ashing. Repeatedly press the UP/DOWN buttons to set the alert value of your choice and conrm by pressing ALERT. After the set limit is exceeded, the station will play a sound and the value will be ashing. Pressing any button on the screen cancels the alert sound, but the icon of an active alert will continue ashing. Once temperature drops below the set limit, the icon on the screen will stop ashing. If you do not wish to wait for the value to drop, you must adjust the value or deactivate the alert. Weather Forecast The station uses changes in atmospheric pressure to forecast weather for the next 12–24 hours for an area within the radius of 15–20 km. The accuracy of weather forecast is 70–75%. The forecast icon is displayed in eld no. 16. As the weather forecast may not be 100% accurate, neither the manufacturer nor the seller can be held responsible for any loss caused by an incorrect forecast. When you rst set or reset the weather station, it takes approximately 12 hours before the weather station begins forecasting correctly.9 Weather Forecast Icons Sunny Cloudy Overcast Snow Rain Upkeep and Maintenance The product is designed to serve reliably for many years if used properly.
