SETTING UP:

Note: This weather station receives only one outdoor transmitter.

1.First, insert the batteries into the Temperature transmitter. (see “Install and replace batteries in the Temperature transmitter“).

2.Immediately after and within 30 seconds, insert the batteries into Weather station (see

“Install and replace batteries in the Weather station”). Once the batteries are in place, all segments of the LCD will light up briefly. Following the time as 0:00 and the weather icon will be displayed. If these are not displayed after 60 seconds, remove the batteries and wait for at least 10 seconds before reinserting them.

3.After inserting the batteries, the Weather station will start receiving data from the transmitter. The outdoor temperature and the signal reception icon should then be displayed on the Weather station. If this does not happen after 3 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 “Mounting” and “ 868 MHz Reception”).

5.Once the remote temperature has been received and displayed on the Weather station, the DCF time (radio controlled time) code reception is automatically started. This takes typically between 3-5 minutes in good conditions.

Note:

Daily DCF reception is done at 02:00 and 03:00 every day. If the reception at 03:00 is not successful, then at 04:00 and 05:00 and 06:00 there are other tries, until one is successful. If the reception at 06:00 is still not successful, then the next try takes place at 02:00 next day.

If reception is successful, the received time will override the manually set time. (Please refer also to notes on “DCF-77 Radio Controlled Time” and “ Manual Time Setting”)

HOW TO INSTALL AND REPLACE BATTERIES IN THE WEATHER STATION

The Weather Station uses 2 x AA, IEC LR6, 1.5V batteries. When batteries will need to be replaced, the low battery icon will appear on the LCD. To install and replace the batteries, please follow the steps below:

1. Lift up the battery compartment cover.

2.Insert batteries observing the correct polarity (see marking).

3. Replace compartment cover.

HOW TO INSTALL AND REPLACE BATTERIES IN THE TEMPERATURE TRANSMITTER

The Temperature Transmitter uses 2 x AA, IEC LR6, 1.5V battery. To install and replace the batteries, please follow the steps below:

1.Remove the battery compartment cover at the back of the transmitter.

2. Insert the batteries, observing the correct polarity (see marking). 3. Replace the battery compartment cover on the unit.

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 because a security code is assigned by the transmitter at start-up and this code must be received and

stored by the Weather station in the first 3 minutes of power being supplied to it.

BATTERY CHANGE:

It is recommended to replace the batteries in all units regularly to ensure optimum accuracy of these units (Battery life See Specifications below).

Please participate in the preservation of the environment. Return used batteries to an authorised depot.
