BATTERY CHANGE:
LCD. If user does not replace batteries, working error may be resulted.
Note:
After changing batteries in temperature station, there is no need for user to reset the temperature
station. In fact, the temperature station can remember all transmitter information and sequence as
per the pervious set-up. However, user may require to reset the desired LCD contrast, Alarm On/O
condition and the Clock (by re-entering the date and time manually or simply wait for the DCF time
signal).
The “Average” value display for particular channel will only be calculated from the data after battery
change.
User needs to carry out the re-learning of the particular transmitter after replacing batteries to it. See
“LEARNING/ REMOVING A TRANSMITTER (CHANNEL)” for the procedures of relearning a
transmitter.
It is recommended to replace the batteries in all units on an annual basis to ensure optimum
accuracy of these units.

DCF-77 RADIO CONTROLLED TIME
The time base for the radio controlled time is
Technische Bundesanstalt Braunschweig which has a time deviation of less than one second in one
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 Temperature
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.
Once the outdoor reception test period is completed, the DCF tower icon in the clock display will start
flashing in the upper center. This indicates that the clock has detected that there is a radio signal prese
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 minimu
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
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.

normal operation), please check the following points:
1. The distance of the Temperature Station or transmitters should be at least 2 meters away from any
interfering sources such as computer monitors or TV sets.
2. Avoid placing the transmitters onto or in the immediate proximity of metal window frames.
3. Using other electrical products such as headphones or speakers operating on the 433MHz-signal
frequency may prevent correct signal transmission or reception. Neighbors using electrical devices
operating on the 433MHz-signal frequency can also cause interference.
Note:
When the 433MHz signal is received correctly, do not re-open the battery cover of either the transmitter or
Temperature Station, as the batteries may spring free from the contacts and force a false reset. Should
this happen accidentally then reset all units (see “SETTING UP” above) otherwise transmission problems
may occur.
The transmission range is around 100 meters from the Temperature transmitter to the Temperature Station
(in open space). However, this depends on the surrounding environment and interference levels. If no
reception is possible despite the observation of these factors, all system units have to be reset (see
“SETTING UP” above).

POSITIONING THE TEMPERATURE STATION:
The Temperature Station provides the option of table standing or wall mounting the unit. Before wall
mounting, please check that the outdoor temperature(s) can be received from the desired location(s). To
wall mount:
POSITIONING THE OUTDOOR TEMPERATURE TRANSMITTER
The Outdoor Transmitter is supplied with a holder that may be attached to a wall with the screws supplied.
To attach to the wall using screws, please follow the steps below:
1. Fix a screw (not supplied) into the desired wall, leaving the head extended out
by about 5mm.
2. away from the base and hang the station onto the screw. Remember to ensure
that it locks into place before releasing.
1. Mark the wall using a pen through the holes in the holder to
obtain the exact drilling position.
2. Drill holes in the wall at the points marked.
3. Screw holder onto wall.

The mounting surface can affect the transmission range. If e.g. the unit is attached to a piece of metal, it
may either reduce or increase the transmitting range. For this reason, we recommend not placing the unit
on any metal surfaces or in any position where a large metal or highly polished surface is in the immediate
proximity (garage doors, double glazing etc.). Before securing in place, please ensure that the
Temperature Station can receive the signal from the Outdoor Temperature transmitter at the positions that
you wish to situate them.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE:
Extreme temperatures, vibration and shock should be avoided as these may cause damage to the
units and give inaccurate forecasts and readings.
When cleaning the display and casings, use a soft damp cloth only. Do not use solvents or scouring
agents as they may mark the LCD and casings.
Do not submerge the units in water.
Immediately remove all low powered batteries to avoid leakage and damage. Replace only with new
batteries of the recommended type.
Do not make any repair attempts to the units. Return it to their original point of purchase for repair
by a qualified engineer. Opening and tampering with the units may invalidate their guarantee.
Do not expose the units to extreme and sudden temperature changes, this may lead to rapid
changes in forecasts and readings and thereby reduce their accuracy.
