Safety Instructions for Batteries

DANGER TO LIFE! Batteries can be swallowed, which may represent a danger

to life. If a battery has been swallowed, medical help is required immediately.

Remove the batteries from the device if they have not been used for a long period.

CAUTION! DANGER OF EXPLOSION! The batteries must never be

recharged!

When inserting the battery, ensure the correct polarity! This is shown in the

battery compartments.

If necessary, clean the contacts on the batteries and on the device before

inserting them.

Remove spent batteries from the device immediately. There is an increased

danger of leaks!
Batteries must not be disposed of in the normal domestic waste!
Every consumer is obliged to dispose of batteries properly in accordance with

the regulations!
Keep batteries away from children. Do not throw batteries into a fire. Never

short-circuit them or take them apart.
Always replace all the batteries at the same time.
Use only batteries of the same type.
If the batteries in your device have leaked, remove them immediately to prevent

damage to the device!

14 GB

Avoid contact with the skin, eyes and mucous membranes. In the event of contact

with fluid leaking from a battery, thoroughly flush the affected area with water

and / or seek the advice of a doctor!

Before use

Setting up the devices

Put the batteries first into the outdoor sensor.

CAUTION! When choosing where to position the weather station, make sure
that it is not exposed to direct sunlight, vibrations, dust, heat, cold or moisture. Do
not place the devices close to sources of heat, e.g. radiators. Otherwise they may
be damaged.

Do not place the devices on valuable or sensitive surfaces unless these are

appropriately protected. Otherwise they may be damaged.

Please ensure that neighbouring devices are not operated at the same frequency

of 433 MHz. Such devices may cause interference to the radio connection.

Do not place the devices next to or on metal plates. Otherwise the quality of

radio wave transmission may be reduced.

15 GB

Do not install the devices in buildings made of reinforced concrete, e.g. airports,

high-rise buildings, factories or cellars. Otherwise the transmission of the radio
waves between the devices may be severely impaired.

Preparing to use the outdoor sensor

Remove the battery compartment cover from the back of the outdoor sensor.
Remove the battery safety strip. The outdoor sensor is now ready for operation

and the control LED

Close the battery compartment cover.

Installing the Outdoor Sensor:
Note: You will need an electric drill for this step.

Find an appropriate place for the outdoor sensor.

Note: Please ensure that you install the outdoor sensor within a radius of 30 m

from the weather station. Check that there are no obstacles between the outdoor
sensor and the weather station. Otherwise there may be interference of the
transmission of data.

For wall mounting:

Hang the outdoor sensor with the mount 42 on one screw.

lights up briefly.

Preparing the weather station for use

Removing the battery safety strip:

Open the battery compartment 40 on the back of the weather station.
Pull out the battery safety strip.
Then close the battery compartment.

As soon as the battery safety strip has been removed, the weather station starts to
receive the radio signal.

Note: Do not move the weather station while it is receiving the signal. This may
disrupt reception.

Connecting the weather station with the outdoor sensor and the
DCF radio signal:

After removal of the battery safety strip the weather station attempts to establish a
connection with the outdoor sensor. This process can take a few minutes. On successful
connection with the outdoor sensor, the selected channel symbol
LC display with the channel of the outdoor sensor (if necessary you can change the
channel of the outdoor sensor as shown in the section “Setting the channel”). If the
connection with the outdoor sensor is not established automatically, this can be done
manually by pressing RESET button

43

of the sensor.

appears in the

17 GB

As soon as the weather station has established a connection with the outdoor sensor
it automatically begins to receive the DCF radio signal. This process takes several
minutes and is indicated in the LC display by a flashing radio tower symbol

5

.

When the DCF radio signal is being successfully received, the radio tower symbol
is shown permanently in the display. If at the time of putting the device into opera­tion it is not possible to synchronise with the atomic clock, you can also carry out
the clock adjustments manually (“Setting the 12 / 24 hour mode / °C / °F / hPa /
inHg / time zone / time / date / language manually”).

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.

In ideal conditions, your weather station can pick up this signal over a distance of
up to approx. 2000 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).

18 GB

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
flashing.
Note: In buildings made of reinforced concrete the reception of the radio signal
may be severely impaired (see “Setting up the devices”).
In order to correct any deviations from the exact time, the clock is automatically
synchronised with the DCF radio signal every day at 1:00, 2:00 and 3:00.
Reception of the DCF radio signal can also be started manually on the weather station.

Press the + and – button 35, 36 at the same time. 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.

If the connection with the DCF radio signal cannot be established, the search is
stopped.
Note: If the clock of the weather station cannot receive the DCF radio signal due
to errors, too great a distance from the transmitter or similar reasons, it is possible
to set the time manually. If reception of the DCF signal is successful, the manual
settings are overwritten.
