described in the instructions 1 and 2 mentioned above.

Note: It may be the case that particular operations that correspond to the latest status of the

X.1 - Function TEST

As described in the brochure ‘Personal Meteo Centre PMC Important’, the ‘TEST’ function serves to
find a place where the device has good reception. During this test, each individual unit of data
transmitted is verified and rated as good or bad.

This function is started with the ‘TEST’ key on the reverse of the device. Proceed as follows:

1- Press the TEST key on the reverse of the device. ‘RECEPTION TEST' now appears on the display.

2- Keep the device upright (as if you were placing it on a table or hanging it on the wall) and look for a

place in your room where the symbol is displayed in its entirety. Please be sure to keep the required
distance to possible sources of interference as described in the PMC brochure.

3- On the left at the bottom of the display you will see the Meteotime symbol. This has the following

significance as long as the test is running (=RECEPTION TEST in the info window):

Flashing: The test is running; reception is good (you can leave the device in this position)

Flashing: The test is running; reception poor (please continue to look for a better position)

4- The test lasts approx. 1 minute. You can restart the test with the ‘TEST’ key at any time and also

discontinue it.

If, after completion of the test, you would like to set up the device in another position, even if it’s only in
another direction, we recommend that you do the test again.
Please note, though, that you will not be able to receive any weather forecasts for the duration of the
test.

If you have not entered any letter (in other words, if only the cursor is flashing at the

included in the memory with immediate effect.

TEST One position back in the data entry process

The place that you have selected to enter your own description continues to exist under its own name.
So if you select LONDON and then enter ACTON you will subsequently have both places in the
memory.

If you would like to change the place, simply enter a new location. The old one will then be
automatically deleted.

X.3 – Selection of 5 favourites

Select a country in the basic setting of the device and then the appropriate town ('short guide to
starting –up' Section 4)

Subsequently, the device receives all the weather forecasts and records them in the memory. At any
time you can

- Scroll through all the places of the selected country with the keys + and –

- Select another country and another town

However, you also have the option of naming up to 5 favourites. Afterwards you can then scroll
through these 5 places with a simple press of the key (plus your personal place if you have named
one).

For this, go into the setting of the town as described in Section 4 of the 'short guide to starting –up'.

As soon as you have reached the town of your region with the settings procedure, press the 'TEST'
key on the front of the device. The sign √ now appears on the right of the info window. This place is
now one of your favourites.

When you have selected 5 places in this way, the text ‘MEMORY FULL’ will be displayed when you try
to select a sixth place. If you would like to change or delete a favourite, select the place to be changed

in the setting mode. As soon as you activate the ‘TEST’ key with a place marked with
removed from the list and you have the option of giving the now vacant favourite position to another
