• Close the battery compartment.

5.2 Getting the base station started

• The base station can be operated with a mains adapter and/or with 3 x

1.5 V AA batteries (not included). The batteries maintain the function in

the event of a power failure, so that no readjustment has to be made and the memory values are retained. For a permanent backlight and to conserve battery power, use the supplied power adapter.

• Insert the power adapter pin into the device jack and connect the plug to a wall socket.

• The device is ready for use.

• All LCD segments will be displayed for a short moment.

• Optional: Open the battery compartment and insert three new AA 1.5 V batteries, polarity as illustrated. Close the battery compartment.

5.3 Reception of outdoor transmitter

• The base station will scan the outdoor values and the reception symbol flashes

• If the reception is successful, the temperature, humidity and the recep- tion symbol appear steadily on the base station display.

• If the reception of the outdoor values fails, “- -. -” remains on the base station display. Check the batteries and try it again.

• You can also start the transmitter search manually later (e.g. if the transmitter signal is lost or if the batteries are changed). Wireless weather station

• Press and hold the CHANNEL button on the base station for three se- conds. The reception symbol for the outdoor transmitter will be flash- ing. Press the TX button in the transmitter's battery compartment. The transmission of the data takes place immediately and if the reception is successful, the outdoor values appear on the base station display.

• If the transmitter signal is lost, the device automatically starts a trans- mitter search for 60 seconds after 30 or 60 minutes.

5.4 Reception of the DCF frequency signal

• After the reception of the outdoor values, the clock will now scan the DCF frequency signal and the DCF symbol flashes on the display.

• When the time code is successfully received after 3-10 minutes, the radio-controlled time and the DCF symbol will be shown steadily on the display.

• The DCF reception always takes place at 1:00, 2:00 and 3:00 o'clock in the morning. If the signal is not successfully received, further attempts will be taken at 4:00 and 5:00 o'clock.

• You can also activate the DCF reception manually. Press and hold the – /MIN button in normal mode for 3 seconds. The DCF reception symbol will be flashing.

• Press and hold the – /MIN button again for 3 seconds to stop the recep- tion process. The DCF reception symbol disappears.

• There are 3 different reception symbols: flashing symbol – reception is active solid – reception is successful no symbol – no DCF reception

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

• The clock will then work as a normal quartz clock (see: “Manual set- tings”).

5.5 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 of Daylight Saving Time and Standard Time is also automatic.

• Avoid being close to possible sources of interference that may affect radio reception (see “Location and mounting”).

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

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

• Press and hold the MAX/+ or – /MIN button in setting mode for fast mode.

• Press and hold the SET button for three seconds to enter the setting mode.

• The first adjustable value flashes on the display.

• Use the MAX/+ or – /MIN button to make the desired setting, while the value flashes.

• Confirm with the SET button and go to the next setting.

• By default, the DCF reception is activated (DCF ON) and after success- ful reception of the DCF signal no manual time setting is necessary.

• In the setting mode, you can deactivate (DCF OFF) or activate again the DCF reception using the MAX/+ or – /MIN button.

• Once the DCF time reception is deactivated the clock must be manually set. No time zone will appear.

• If the DCF reception is activated, the manually set time will be overwrit- ten by the DCF time when the signal is received successfully.

6.1.2 Time zone setting

• In the setting mode you can make the time zone correction +12/-12).

• 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).

6.1.3 Automatic reset of the maximum and minimum values

• In the setting mode, you can activate (AUTO MIN MAX ON) or deacti- vate again the automatic reset of the maximum and minimum values.

• If the automatic reset is activated, AUTO appears on the display.

• In the setting mode, the relative atmospheric pressure at the installa- tion site must be entered. Ask for the current atmospheric pressure of your home area (Local weather service, Internet, optician, calibrated instruments in public buildings and airport).

6.1.5 Site selection

• Select the country and city of your location in setting mode.

• A table with the codes for site selection can be found at the end of the instructions. It can be chosen from 150 European cities.

6.1.6 Day-of-the week language

• You can set the day-of-the week language in setting mode: German (GE), French (FR), Spanish (ES), Italian (IT), Dutch (NE) and English (EN).

• Press the – /MIN button in normal mode. MIN flashes on the display.

• You can now see the lowest measuring value since the last reset with time and date of recording.

• The sequence is shown as follows: Outdoor temperature, outdoor humidity, indoor temperature, indoor humidity, atmospheric pressure.

• If you have installed more than one transmitter, press the CHANNEL button to change between the outdoor transmitters.

• Press the – /MIN button once more to go back to the current values dis- play.

• Repeat the process by pressing the MAX/+ button to see the maximum values. MAX flashes on the display. Wireless weather station

• Press and hold the SET button for 3 seconds while the highest or low- est values are displayed. The values will be deleted and reset to the cur- rent state. b) Automatic reset

• Provided that in the setting mode the automatic reset is activated (AUTO MIN MAX ON). AUTO appears permanently on the display.

• All maximum and minimum values will be reset automatically every midnight at 0:00.

• An interim manual reset is still possible.

8.1 Atmospheric pressure

• The relative atmospheric pressure in hPa and the graphic development of the last 24 hours will appear on the display. If the bars go down, it means the atmospheric pressure has dropped and the weather is expected to get worse. If the bars are rising it means that the weather is getting better.

8.2 Weather forecast symbols (Fig. 4)

• The weather station has 6 different weather symbols: sunny, slightly cloudy, cloudy, rainy, thunderstorm, snowfall.

• A snow crystal is shown if rain is forecasted and the outdoor tempera- ture on channel 1 is under 0°C.

• The weather forecast relates to a range of 12 to 24 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 air pressure has dropped and the weather is expected to get worse but not neces- sarily rain. The accuracy is about 70-75 %. Note!

• Please note that the forecast symbol will become more defined in the course of operation. The forecast symbol is active right from the start, however, the reliability of the forecasts increases with the amount of data collected. To begin with, the sensor must adapt initially to the reference level at the site.

8.3 Meteo Jack (Fig. 4)

• Weather forecast by “Meteo Jack”: Shorts, scarf, gloves or umbrella? The “Meteo Jack” shows in 28 variations always the correct clothing for the current weather and the outdoor temperature.

• Please keep in mind that the clothing state is based on the information of the transmitter received on channel 1. If this transmitter is not situat- ed outside or if there is no transmitter connected to channel 1, a wrong or no display will be the result.

9. Time of rise and set for sun and moon

• After entering your location in the settings mode, the rise and set times for the sun and moon, and the length of the day for today's date, are automatically calculated.

• In mains operation: Press the LIGHT button to adjust the brightness in 4 levels (LVL 4-1) or to switch it off (OFF). The default setting is LVL 3.

• The last selected level will remain permanently active.

• To temporarily activate the display light in pure battery operation, press the LIGHT button. Each button press will activate the backlight for 10 seconds.

11.1 Automatic dimming mode

(during permanent backlight in mains operation)

• If the auto-dim mode is activated, the weak backlight (LVL 1) turns on automatically for the set time.

• Press and hold the LIGHT button for 3 seconds. DIM appears on the display.

• By default, the automatic dimming function is disabled. OFF flashes on the display.

• To activate the function, press the MAX/+ or – /MIN button (ON).

• Confirm with the LIGHT button.

• The start time flashes (22:00 default) Press the MAX/+ or – /MIN button to set the time (full hours).

• Confirm with the LIGHT button.

12. Location and mounting

• When placed outdoors, choose a shady and dry place for the transmit- ter. Direct sunlight may trigger incorrect measurement and continuous humidity damages the electronic components needlessly.

• Place the base station in any room of the house.

• Avoid being close to possible sources of interference that may affect radio reception. It is recommended to keep a distance of at least 2 metres to possibly interfering sources (TV, computer, microwave, wire- less phones, baby monitors) and large metal objects (e.g. refrigerator). Within solid walls, especially ones with metal parts, the transmission range can be reduced considerably. In extreme cases, please place the unit close to a window to improve reception.

• Check whether the transmission from the transmitter to the base sta- tion is possible and whether the DCF radio clock signal can be received.

• If necessary, choose, another position for the outdoor transmitter and/or receiver.

• If the transmission is successful, you can place or wall mount the base station and the outdoor transmitter with the suspension device.

• To wall-mount the transmitter, screw the holder to the wall and click the outdoor transmitter into the holder.

• Do not use the base station in the vicinity of radiators, other sources of heat or in direct sunlight. Wireless weather station

13. Battery replacement

• As soon as the battery symbol will appear on the outdoor values dis- play of the base station or on the display of the outdoor transmitter, change the batteries of the outdoor transmitter.

• Change the batteries of the base station, when the battery symbol appears on the indoor values display. The instrument also works with- out batteries. Than the battery symbol for the base station is perma- nently shown on the display.

• Please note: When the batteries are changed, the contact between the outdoor trans- mitter and the base station must be restored – so always restart both devices or start a manual transmitter search.

14. Additional outdoor transmitters (optional)

• When having more than one external transmitter, select a different channel for each one with the 1/2/3 switch inside the transmitter's bat- tery compartment. Insert two new AA 1.5 V batteries, polarity as illu- strated. Start the base station operation or the manual search for the outdoor transmitter: – Choose the respective channel by pressing the CHANNEL button. – Press and hold the CHANNEL button for three seconds. The last re- gistered transmitter (channel) will be cancelled and the transmitter search begins. – Press the TX button in the corresponding transmitter's battery com- partment. The transmission of the outdoor data will take place imme- diately.

• The outdoor values and the channel number will be shown on the base station display. If you have installed more than one outdoor transmitter, press the CHANNEL button on the base station to change between the channels 1 to 3.

• You can also choose an alternating channel display. Press the CHANNEL button. After the last registered channel (1 to 3) a circle symbol will appear. To deactivate the function press the CHANNEL button again.
