About time signals

The base unit of the weather station is a radio-controlled clock and can receive the time signals emitted through the signal transmitter in your country. If the base unit is located within the transmission range, it can receive the signals and synchronize with the broadcasted time and date several times a day. In case of a failure in signal reception, the base

Preparing the radio sensor for use

unit can continue to run accurately and attempt to look for time signals at the next designated time. If no signals can be found, the time and date can also be set manually.

Preparing the radio sensor for use

Inserting or replacing batteries

− Do not use any rechargeable batteries, as their voltage is low. This inﬂuences the measuring precision.

− Preferably use alkaline batteries which last longer, particularly with low outdoor temperature.

1. Remove the battery compartment door

on the back of

the radio sensor 14.

2. Pay attention to the correct battery polarity (+ or –). For battery replacement, remove the old batteries first. Insert 2 batteries

(size: AAA, provided) into the battery

compartment 20.

3. Close the battery compartment door.

The radio sensor will detect the temperature and humidity of the surroundings and send the collected data to the base unit once a minute. Both the temperature (°C/°F) and humidity (%) will be shown on the display 15 of the radio sensor. The signal indicator light 16 will blink once when the data have been sent.

Using additional radio sensors

The weather station is supplied with one radio sensor. If necessary, you can operate it with up to three radio sensors. Additional sensors are available through the after sales support. Please check the price and details with the support.

Preparing the radio sensor for use

The contact details are on the warranty card. The radio sensors can be located in different rooms or

outdoors. Each sensor must have its own radio sensor number (1–3) allocated to it.

To use additional radio sensors:

1. Remove the battery compartment door 19 on the back of the radio sensors.

2. Set a dedicated radio sensor number (1–3) for each radio sensor using the channel switch

The selected radio sensor number (e.g.

number 1) will show on the display 15.

3. Set a dedicated temperature unit (°C/°F) for each radio sensor using the temperature unit switch

The selected temperature unit will show on the display.

4. Close the battery compartment door.

The base unit will receive the weather data from all available radio sensors (see chapter “Preparing the base unit for use”).

In the event of interference from nearby equipment transmitting radio signals, you may change the radio sensor number to avoid the interference.

Installing the radio sensor

Take note of the tips below to ensure the best possible signal receptions.

− Only install the radio sensor outdoors in a dry, shaded area

(e.g. under a roof).

− When installing on a wall, ensure that no electric cables,

gas or water pipes are buried beneath the wall surface before drilling any holes.

Preparing the base unit for use

− The maximum distance between the base unit and radio sensor should not be greater than 100 m (direct visible distance). Building materials, such as concrete walls, may reduce or prevent signal reception between the base unit and radio sensor.

− Do not place the base unit and radio sensor on the ﬂoor. This limits the transmission range.

− Electronic devices such as televisions and computers can disrupt the signal reception.

− At low temperature during winter, the performance of the radio sensor batteries may fall signiﬁcantly. This reduces the transmission range.
