6. Getting started

6.1 Inserting the batteries

• Place both instruments on a desk with a distance of approximately 1.5 meter. Avoid getting close to possible interference sources (Electronic devices and radio installations).
• Open the battery compartment of the transmitter by pressing the notch with your thumb and then lift the cover.
• The slide switch for channel selection is at position 1 (default).
• Insert two new batteries 1,5 V AAA polarity as illustrated.
• On the display of the outdoor transmitter appear the channel number, outdoor humidity and the outdoor temperature in ^ C (default).
• Press the ^ / ^ F button in the battery compartment of the outdoor transmitter, to change between ^ (Celsius) or ^ F (Fahrenheit) as temperature unit.
• Close the battery compartment again.
• Open the battery compartment of the basic station and insert two new batteries 1.5 V AA, polarity as illustrated.
  The device will alert you with a beep.
• All LCD segments will be displayed for about a few seconds.
• Close the battery compartment again.

6.2 Reception of the outdoor values

• After the batteries are inserted, the outdoor values will be transmitted to the basic station. The symbol will be flashing on the display near to the outdoor values. If the reception of the outdoor values fails, appears on the display. Check the batteries and try it again. Check if there is any source of interference.
• As soon as the basic station received the radio-controlled time, you can start the initialization manually. Press and hold the CHANNEL button for three seconds. A short beep will be heard and the basic station will scan the outdoor values.

6.3 Reception of the DCF frequency signal

• The clock will now scan the DCF frequency signal and the DCF symbol will be flashing on the display. When the time code is received successfully after 5-7 minutes, the radio-controlled time, the date, the moon phase and the DCF symbol are displayed steadily on the display.
• You can start the initialization manually.
• Press and hold the UP button for three seconds.
  The DCF symbol will be flashing.
• Interrupt the reception by pressing the UP button again. The DCF symbol disappears.
• The DCF reception always takes place hourly between 2:05 and 6:05 o'clock in the morning. If the reception is not successful until 6:05 o'clock in the morning, the next receive operation is again at 2:05 o'clock in the morning.
• There are three different reception symbols:

flashing - reception is active
stays - reception is very good

No symbol - no reception / time is set manually

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

7. Note for radio-controlled time DCF

The time base for the radio-controlled time is a caesium atomic clock operated by the Physikalisch Technische Bundesanstalt Braunschweig. 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 frequency signal DCF-77 (77.5 kHz) and has a transmitting range of approximately 1,500 km. Your radio-controlled clock receives this signal and converts it to show the precise time. Changeover from summer time or winter time is automatic. In Daylight Saving Time "DST" is shown on the LCD. The quality of the reception depends mainly on the geographic location. Normally there should be no reception problems within a 1,500 km radius around Frankfurt.

Please take note of the following:

• The recommended distance to any interfering sources like computer monitors or TV sets is at least 1.5 - 2 meters.
• Inside ferro-concrete rooms (basements, superstructures), the received signal is naturally weakened. In extreme cases, please place the unit close to a window to improve the reception.
• During nighttime, 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.

8. Operation

• Important: During the reception of the outdoor values and the radio-controlled time, a button operation is not possible.
• Press and hold the UP or DOWN button in the respective setting mode for fast running.
• The device will automatically quit the setting mode if no button is pressed within 30 seconds.

• Confirm with the MODE button.
• The manually set time will be overwritten by the DCF time when the signal is received successfully.

8.1.1 Setting of the 12 and 24 hours display

In the 12 HR system AM or PM (after 12 o'clock) appears on the display.
- Press the UP or DOWN button in the setting mode to choose the 12 HR or 24 HR system.

8.1.2 Setting of the time zone

In the setting mode you can make the time zone correction (-12l + 12)

ZONE appears on the display.
- Press the UP or DOWN button.
- Confirm the setting with the MODE button.

12. Positioning and fixing of basic station and the outdoor transmitter

• With the foldable leg at the back of the basic station, the basic station can be placed onto any flat surface or wall mounted at the respective location by the hanging hole at the back of the unit. Avoid the vicinity of any interfering field like computer monitors or TV sets and solid metal objects.
• With the hanging hole at the back of the outdoor transmitter, the transmitter can be wall mounted at the respective location. Choose a shady and dry position for the outdoor transmitter. (Direct sunshine falsifies the measurement and continuous humidity strains the electronic components needlessly).
• Check the transmission of the signal from the outdoor transmitter to the basic station (transmission range of up to 80m free field). Within ferro-concrete rooms (basements, superstructures), the received signal is naturally weakened.
  If necessary choose another position for the outdoor transmitter and/or receiver.

13. Care and maintenance

Clean the devices with a soft damp cloth. Do not use solvents or scouring agents
- Remove the batteries if you do not use the devices for a long period of time.
- Keep the devices in a dry place.

13.1 Battery replacement

• As soon as the battery symbol appears on the display of the basic station beside the outdoor temperature or on the display of the outdoor transmitter, change the batteries of the outdoor transmitter.

MULTY - Wireless weather station

• Open the battery compartment of the transmitter by pressing the notch with your thumb and then lift the cover.
• Insert two new batteries 1,5 V AAA polarity as illustrated.
• As soon as the battery symbol appears on the display of the basic station beside the time, change the batteries of the basic station.
• Open the battery compartment of the basic station and insert two new batteries 1.5V AA, polarity as illustrated.
• Please note: When the batteries are changed, the contact between outdoor transmitter and basic station must be restored - so always insert new batteries into both devices or start a manual transmitter search.
