display, near the outdoor temperature displ ay.
Note:
In the event of changing batteries in any of the units, all units need to be reset by following the

being supplied to the transmitter.
SETTING UP:
Note: This weather station receives only one outdoor tra nsmitter.
1. First, insert the batteries into the Temperature transmitter. (see “Install and replace

“Install and replace batteries in the weather station”). O nce the batteries are in place, all
segments of the LCD will light up briefly. Following the time as 0:00 and the "Weather boy"
icon will be displayed. If these are not displ ayed after 60 seconds, remove the batteries and
wait for at least 10 seconds before reinserti ng them.
The outdoor temperature and the signal recepti on 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.

5. Once the remote temperature has been recei ved 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.
DCF RADIO CONTROLLED TIME
The time base for the radio controlled time i s a Cesium Atomic Clock operated by the Physikalisch
Technische Bundesanstalt Braunschweig which has a time deviation of less than one seco nd in
one million years. The time is coded and transmitted from Mainflingen near Frankfurt vi a frequency
signal DCF-77 (77.5 kHz) and has a transmitting range of approximately 1,500 km. Your radiocontrolled weather station receives this signal and converts it to show the precise time i n 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 1,500 km 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 t he 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 wi ll
take place the next day at 02:00 am.
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.
