Getting Started

1. Connect the power adapter to the weather station, then insert batteries (2× 1.5 V AAA) into the station. Remove the cover from the battery compartment on the rear of each sensor, set the sensor channel number using the switch (1, 2, 3), then insert alkaline batteries (2× 1.5 V AAA).

Make sure the polarity is correct when inserting the batteries 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.

1. The icon for wireless communication with sensor will start flashing, indicating that the weather station is searching for signal from the outdoor sensor. Place the units next to each other. If outdoor temperature does not appear within 3 minutes, the weather station will stop searching for signal, the icon for wireless communication with sensor will stop flashing and outdoor temperature will be displayed as --.-. If signal from the sensor is not detected, repeat the process from step 1.

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. The sensor is resistant to dripping water; however, it should not be exposed to sustained rain.

Do not place the sensor on metal objects as these would reduce transmission range.

The sensor can be placed vertically or hung on a wall.

If the weather station screen shows the low battery icon in field no. 10, replace the batteries in the sensor.

If the weather station screen shows the low battery icon in field no. 7, replace the batteries in the station.

Weather Station RESET

If the weather station displays incorrect values or does not respond to button presses, disconnect the power adapter, remove the batteries, then reinsert the batteries and reconnect the adapter. This will erase all data; you will need to set the weather station again.

A sensor can be restarted by pressing the RESET button (use a pencil or paper clip).

Changing Sensor Channel and Connecting Additional Sensors

The station can be paired with up to 3 wireless sensors.

1. Press the CHANNEL button repeatedly to choose sensor number 1/2/3; the number will be flashing.
2. Long-press the CHANNEL button ☐; the station will start searching for signal from sensors; a icon will be flashing for all of them.
3. Remove the cover from the battery compartment on the back of the sensor, set the sensor channel number using the selector (1, 2, 3 – each sensor must be set to a different number), then insert alkaline batteries (2× 1.5 V AAA).
4. Data from the sensors will be loaded into the station within 3 minutes. Repeat the whole process if sensor signal is not detected.

Displaying Data from Multiple Sensors, Automatic Cycling through Values from Connected Sensors

Press the CHANNEL button repeatedly to display data from all connected sensors on the weather station, one by one. You can also activate automatic cycling through data from all connected sensors:

1. Turning on cycling

Repeatedly press the CHANNEL button until the display shows the icon.

Data from all connected sensors will be shown automatically and repeatedly one after another.

2. Turning off cycling

Repeatedly press the CHANNEL button until the icon disappears.

Radio-Controlled Clock (DCF77)

After registering the wireless sensors, the weather station will automatically search for DCF77 signal (hereinafter referred to as DCF signal) for 7 minutes; the icon will flash depending on the strength of DCF signal.

No other data on the screen will be updated and all buttons will be disabled during the search.

Long-pressing the down arrow button terminates the search for DCF signal.

Signal detected – the icon stops flashing and the current time and date will be displayed along with a 📄icon.

Signal not detected – the DCF icon is not displayed.

Long press the down arrow button to search for DCF signal again for 7 minutes. Long press the down arrow button again to cancel the search for DCF signal. DCF signal will be synchronised regularly every day between 01:00 and 05:00.

During daylight saving time, a DST icon will be displayed below the DCF icon.

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 DCF signal again.
2. Check the distance of the device from sources of interference (computer monitors or television sets). It 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 in the proximity of metal doors, window frames and other metal structures or objects (washing machines, dryers, refrigerators etc.).
4. DCF signal reception is weaker in reinforced concrete structures (cellars, high-rise buildings etc.), depending on the conditions. In extreme cases, place the weather station close to a window in the direction of a transmitter.

The reception of the DCF radio signal is affected by the following factors:

• Thick walls and insulation, basements and cellars.
• Inadequate local geographical conditions (these are difficult to assess in advance).
• Atmospheric disturbances, thunderstorms, electrical appliances with no interference elimination, television sets and computers located near the DCF receiver.

If the weather station cannot detect DCF signal, time and date must be set manually.

Note: If the weather station detects the DCF signal but the current time on the screen 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 Setting of Time and Date. The current time will be shown with the appropriate time zone difference.

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 the weather forecast is approximately 70 %. As the weather forecast may not be 100 % accurate, neither the manufacturer nor the seller are liable for any loss caused by an incorrect forecast. When you first set or reset the weather station, it takes approximately 12 hours before the weather station begins forecasting correctly.

Note: The currently displayed icon indicates the forecast for the next 12 – 24 hours. It may not reflect the current state of the weather.
