• Open the battery compartment and insert two new AA 1.5 V batteries, polarity as illustrated. Close the battery compartment. The device will alert you with a beep and all LCD segments will be displayed for a short moment. The indoor temperature and humidity appear on the display.

• The clock will now scan the DCF frequency signal and the DCF symbol flashes.

• 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 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 MAX/MIN/– button in normal mode for 3 seconds. The DCF reception symbol will be flashing.

• Press and hold the MAX/MIN/– button again for 3 seconds to stop the reception 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 settings”).

5.1 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 CH/+ or MAX/MIN/– button in setting mode for fast mode.

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

• The first adjustable value flashes on the display. Maritime weather station

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

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

• In the setting mode, the relative atmospheric pressure at the installation 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).

• By default, the DCF reception is activated (DCF ON) and after successful 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.

• 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 overwritten by the DCF time when the signal is received successfully.

6.1.3 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).

6.1.4 Automatic reset of the maximum and minimum values

• In the setting mode, you can activate (AUTO MINMAX ON) or deactivate again the automatic reset of the maximum and minimum values.

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

• You can now see the highest values of temperature, humidity and atmospheric pressure since the last reset.

• If you have installed transmitters, press the CH/+ button to change between the outdoor transmitters and indoor temperature.

• Press and hold the SET/MODE button for 3 seconds while the highest or lowest values are displayed. The values will be deleted and reset to the current state. b) Automatic reset

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

• The integrated barometer measures the atmospheric pressure in hectopascal (hPa).

• The atmospheric pressure corresponds with the weight of the surrounding air masses and depends on the weather situation and the local altitude.

• The relative atmospheric pressure is referred to the sea level’s pressure and must be set to the current reference value at the installation site (see: “Manual settings”).

8.1 Developing of atmospheric pressure

• The graphical display shows the atmospheric pressure history of the past hours in three selectable time periods (default: 24 h): – 24 h (in steps of 2 hours, difference ± 6 hPa) – 3 h (in steps of 15 minutes, difference ± 3 hPa) – 1 h (in steps of 5 minutes, difference ± 3 hPa)

• Briefly press the SET/MODE button to select the time period. “1 h” is flashing. Use the SET/MODE button to make the desired setting, while the value flashes.

• Wait 5 seconds, the device will automatically use the setting you have made.

• After start-up, all bars are in the “0” position until the device has collected the necessary data.

• The “0h” in the middle of this scale is equal to the current pressure and each change (±2, ±4, ±6) represents how high or low in “hPa” the past pres- sure was compared to the current pressure.

• If the difference is greater than the display range, no bar is displayed.

• 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 Atmospheric pressure difference

• The display T-1h and T-3h shows the largest deviation from the current atmospheric pressure within the last hour or within the last 3 hours in hPa.

• If the atmospheric pressure drops rapidly (1 to 2 hPa per hour), there is a risk of thunderstorms and high winds.

• You can set a low alarm and a high alarm for the atmospheric pressure difference T-1h and T-3h respectively.

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

• As the first setting option, the symbol for the upper alarm limit (default OF(F)) flashes in the area T-1h. Press the CH/+ or MAX/MIN/– button to set the desired upper limit (+0,1 to +9,9) while the indication flashes.

• Confirm the setting with the ALARM button.

• If you do not want to set an alarm, press the ALARM button again to move to the next alarm.

• The order is as follows: T-1h upper alarm limit, T-1h lower alarm limit, T-3h upper alarm limit, T-3h lower alarm limit.

• Press the ALARM button again to return to normal mode.

• In the event of an alarm, the corresponding symbol will be flashing and an alarm tone will sound for about 60 seconds.

• The alarm tone sounds again three times every 30 seconds, until the measured value is again within the alarm limits.

• Stop the alarm sound with any button.

• The alarm symbol continues to flash until the measured value is within the alarm limits.

• The trend arrows on the display will show whether the atmospheric pressure of the last 3 hours is increasing, steady or decreasing. Increase (+1-2 hPa) Weather improvement Maritime weather station

10. Location and mounting

• Avoid being close to possible sources of interference that may affect the DCF signal reception. It is recommended to keep a distance of at least 2 metres to possibly interfering sources (TV, computer, microwave, wireless phones, baby monitors) and large metal objects (e.g. refrigerator). With- in 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.

• Is the transmission successfully, you can wall mount the device. Slide the holder downwards and release it from the anchorage. To wall-mount, screw the holder to the wall and click the device into the holder. For table standing insert the holder into the two indentations.

• Do not use the device in the vicinity of radiators, other sources of heat or in direct sunlight.

11. Battery replacement

• Change the batteries, when the battery symbol of the base station appears.

12. Transmitter (optional)

• The device is expandable with up to 3 temperature-humidity-transmitters, cat. no. 30.3249.02, for outdoor or indoor use (sold separately).

• For having more than one transmitter, select different channels for each sensor with the 1/2/3 switch inside the battery compartment. Insert two new AA 1.5 V batteries, polarity as illustrated. Start the base station operation or the manual search for the outdoor transmitter: – Choose the respective channel by pressing the CH/+ button. – Press and hold the CH/+ button for three seconds. The last registered transmitter (channel) will be cancelled and the transmitter search begins. – Press the TX button in the corresponding transmitter's battery compartment. The transmission of the outdoor data will take place immediately.

• The outdoor values and the channel number will be shown on the base station display. Use the CH/+ button to switch between channels 1 to 3 and the indoor temperature.

• When pressing the CH/+ button again, a circle symbol will appear after the last registered channel. On the display all values are displayed in sequence. To deactivate the function press the CH/+ button again.
