TO INSTALL AND REPLACE BATTERIES IN THE MOONPHASE WALL CLOCK

The Moonphase wall clock uses 2 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 inside battery compartment).

3. Replace compartment cover.

DO NOT SET THE CLOCK.

TO INSTALL AND REPLACE BATTERIES IN THE TEMPERATURE
TRANSMITTER

The transmitter uses 2 x AAA, IEC LR3, 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 inside battery
compartment).

3. Replace the battery cover on the unit.

Alkaline batteries are recommended for use in both units. Avoid using rechargable
batteries.

SETTING UP:

1. Insert the 2 x AAA, IEC LR3, 1.5V batteries into the transmitter (See “To install and
replace batteries in the Temperature Transmitter” above).

2. Within 3 minutes, insert 2 x AA, IEC LR6, 1.5V batteries into the Moonphase wall clock as
indicated above (see "To install and replace batteries in the Moonphase wall clock“
above).

3. Once the batteries are in place, all segments of the LCD will light up briefly and “03” will
appear on LCD 1. Then the indoor and outdoor temperature - -.-°C, the time as -:--, the
date as 1/1, and weekday will be displayed.

4. Do not press any buttons for 10 minutes

5. The Moonphase wall clock will start receiving data from the transmitter. The remote
temperature will then be displayed on the Moonphase wall clock. If the outdoor
temperature is not displayed 90 seconds after inserting the batteries into the receiver, all
batteries are needed to be removed and wait for at least 1 minute for reset from step 1.

6. The DCF time code reception will automatically start. This takes typically between 3 - 5
minutes in good conditions. This time period is an excellent opportunity to locate the

16

transmitter in suitable location outdoors. In order to ensure sufficient 433MHz transmission
however, this should under good conditions be no more than 100 meters from where the
Moonphase wall clock will be finally positioned (see notes on “Positioning” and “433MHz
Reception”).

7. If after 10 minutes the DCF time has not been received, use the SET key to manually enter
the set mode and change either the time or date in order to activate the DCF reception.
The clock will then automatically attempt to receive the DCF time every full hour each day.
When this is successful, the received time will override the manually set time. The date is
also updated with the received time (Please refers to notes on “DCF Radio controlled
time” and “Manual time setting”).

8. The indoor temperature will be measured after the DCF reception.

Note:

In the event of changing batteries of the unit ensure that the batteries do not spring free from the
contacts. Always wait at least 1 minute after removing the batteries before reinserting, otherwise
start up and transmission problems may occur.

FUNCTION KEYS

The Moonphase wall clock has four easy to use keys:
SET key : To enter into the set mode for the following functions: time zone, language,

hour, minute, year, month, day, weekday, 12/24 hour, ºC or ºF temperature

display
+ key : To toggle between the second, indoor/outdoor temperature or weekday display
To change the values in manual set mode
ALM key : To enter into the alarm set mode
To set the alarm ON/OFF
SNZ key : To activate the snooze function during alarm
To display the alarm time in normal mode display
To exit any setting modes

MOONPHASE WALL CLOCK LCD SCREEN DESCRIPTIONS

The Moonphase wall clock's LCD is divided into 2 sections and once the batteries are inserted,
all the segments will light up briefly before displaying the information for time, date, indoor and
outdoor temperatures.

MANUAL SETTINGS

Note:
If the Moonphase wall clock has already successfully received the DCF time signal and
displays the correct time and date, then the Manual settings can be skipped.

After completion of the above described procedures in “Setting up” the manual setting modes
can be entered by pressing the SET key. The following settings can now be programmed:

• Time zone setting

• Language display setting

• Manual time setting

• Year setting

• Month setting

• Day setting

• Weekday setting

• 12/24 hour time display setting

• ºC or ºF setting

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 Moonphase wall clock receives this signal and converts it to
show the precise time in summer or wintertime.
