TO INSTALL AND REPLACE BATTERIES IN THE WEATHER STATION
The Weather Station uses 3 x AA, IEC LR6, 1.5V batteries. To install and replace the batteries, please follow the steps below:
1. Insert finger or other solid object in the space at the bottom center of the battery compartment and lift up to remove the cover.
2. Insert batteries observing the correct polarity (see marking).
3.Replace compartment cover.
TO INSTALL AND REPLACE BATTERIES IN THE THERMO-HYGRO TRANSMITTER
The Thermo-Hygro Transmitter uses 2 x AA, IEC, LR6, 1.5V batteries. To install and replace the batteries, please follow the steps below:
1. Remove the cover.
2. Insert the batteries, observing the correct polarity (see marking). 3. Replace the battery cover.

Note:
In the event of changing batteries in any of the units, all units need to be reset by following the setting up procedures. This is due to a random security code assigned by the transmitter at start-up. This code must be received and stored by the Weather Station in the first 3 minutes of power being supplied to the transmitter.
BATTERY CHANGE:
It is recommended to replace the batteries in all units on an annual basis to ensure optimum accuracy of these units.
Please participate in the preservation of the environment. Return used batteries to an authorized depot.
SETTING UP
1.First, insert the batteries to the transmitter (see “How to install and replace batteries in the Temperature transmitter” below).
2.Within 2 minutes of powering up the transmitter, insert the batteries to the Weather station (see “How to install and replace batteries in the Weather station” below). Once the batteries are in place, all segments of the LCD will light up briefly. Then the indoor temperature and humidity, the time as 0:00 the date as SA.1., the weather icons (sun and clouds) will be displayed. If the indoor temperature and humidity are not displayed after 15 seconds, remove the batteries and wait for at least 1 minute before reinserting them. Once the indoor data is displayed proceed to next step.
3.After the batteries are inserted, the Weather station will start receiving data signal from the transmitter. The outdoor temperature and humidity should then be displayed on the weather station. If this does not happen after 2 minutes, the batteries will need to be removed from both units and reset from step 1.
4.In order to ensure sufficient 868 MHz transmission however, this should under good conditions be a distance no more than 100 meters between the final position of the Weather station and the transmitter (see notes on “Positioning” and “868 MHz Reception”).
Note: This weather station will receive one outdoor transmitter only.
RESETTING
The Weather Station and the Thermo-hygro transmitter need to be reset when one of the following conditions occur:
•Unsuccessful 868MHz signal reception.
•Malfunction on the units.
•Batteries replacement.
For resetting, remove all batteries from the units. Wait at least for 1 minute before powering up the Weather station again. Proceed from step 1 in “Setting Up”.
DCF RADIO CONTROLLED TIME
The time base for the radio controlled time is a Cesium Atomic Clock operated by the Physikalisch Technische Bundesanstalt Braunschweig which has a time deviation of less than one second in one million years. The time is coded and transmitted from Mainflingen near Frankfurt via frequency signal DCF-77 (77.5 kHz) and has a transmitting range of approximately 1,500 km. Your radio-controlled Weather Station receives this signal and converts it to show the precise time in summer or wintertime.
The quality of the reception depends greatly on the geographic location. In normal cases, there should be no reception problems within a 1500km radius of Frankfurt.

DCF reception is done twice daily at 02:00 and 03:00 am. If the reception is not successful at 03:00 am, then the next reception takes place the next hour and so on until 06:00am, or until the reception is successful. If the reception is not successful at 06:00 am, then the next attempt will take place the next day at 02:00 am.
Once the outdoor data reception test period is completed, the DCF tower icon in the clock display will start flashing in the upper left corner. This indicates that the clock has detected that there is a radio signal present and is trying to receive it. When the time code is received, the DCF tower becomes permanently lit and the time will be displayed.
If the tower icon flashes, but does not set the time or the DCF tower does not appear at all, then please take note of the following:
•Recommended distance to any interfering sources like computer monitors or TV sets is a minimum of 1.5 - 2 meters.
•Within ferro-concrete rooms (basements, superstructures), the received signal is naturally weakened. In extreme cases, please place the unit close to a window and/ or point its front or back towards the Frankfurt transmitter.
•During nighttime, the atmospheric disturbances are usually less severe and reception is possible in most cases. A single daily reception is adequate to keep the accuracy deviation below 1 second.
