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.
In ideal conditions, your weather station can pick up this signal over a distance of
up to approx. 1,500 km around Frankfurt / Main. Reception of the radio signal
generally takes approx. 3–10 minutes.
Reception can be considerably impaired by obstacles (e.g. concrete walls) or sources
of interference (e.g. other electrical devices). In the event of reception problems,
change the position of the weather station (e.g. to somewhere near a window).
Operation
Receiving the DCF radio time signal
After a connection with the outdoor sensor is established or 3 minutes after the battery
safety strip is removed, 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
5
flashing.
Note: In buildings made of reinforced concrete the reception of the radio signal
may be severely impaired (see “Setting up the devices”).
