For wall mounting:
Hang the weather station with the mount 32
on one screw.
For free standing:
Turn the stand 35 out from the bottom of the
weather station.
Connecting the weather station with the
outdoor sensor:
After removal of the battery safety strip the weather
station attempts to establish a connection with
the outdoor sensor. This process may take a few
minutes. When the connection with the outdoor
sensor has been successfully established, the
selected channel symbol
22 is shown the channel
of the outdoor sensor (To change the channel of
the sensor, see “Setting the channel”). If the con-
nection with the outdoor sensor is not established
automatically, this can be done manually by
pressing TX button
42 of the sensor”.
Radio Signal (DCF):
The DCF signal (time signal transmitter) consists
of time pulses emitted by one of the most accurate
clocks in the world close to Frankfurt / Main,
Germany – this varies by 1 second in a million
years.
Your weather station receives these signals under
ideal conditions up to a distance of approximately
1,500 km around Frankfurt / Main. Reception of
the radio signal usually takes about 3–10 minutes.
Operation
DCF radio signal reception
After the establishment of a connection with the
outdoor sensor the weather station automatically
begins to search for the DCF radio signal. The
search is shown in the LC display by the radio
tower symbol
18 flashing.
When the DCF radio signal is being successfully
received, the radio tower symbol
18 is shown
permanently in the display. If at the time of putting
the device into operation it is not possible to syn-
chronise with the atomic clock, you can also carry
out the clock adjustments manually (see “Setting the
Date / Language / Time / Time Zone Manually”).
Note: During the search for the signal, all func-
tion buttons except for the SNOOZE / LIGHT
button
12 are blocked on the weather station.
In order to correct any deviations from the exact
time, the clock is automatically synchronised with
the DCF radio signal every day at 01:00, 02:00
and 03:00. If the synchronisation with the DCF
signal does not succeed, the radio tower signal
goes out
18 . In this case, the weather station att-
empts to conduct a synchronisation with the DCF
radio tower at 04:00 and 05:00.
Reception of the DCF radio signal can also be
started manually on the weather station.
Press and hold down the / button 11
for 3 seconds. The weather station attempts
to receive the DCF radio signal. This process
takes several minutes and is indicated in the LC
display by a flashing radio tower symbol
18 .
If the connection with the DCF radio signal cannot
be established, the search is stopped. A further
attempt to establish a connection is made auto-
matically on the next full hour.
Setting the date / language /
location / clock / time zone
manually
At the location site of the weather station, recep-
tion of the DCF radio signal may be impaired or
