HOW TO INSTALL AND REPLACE BATTERIES IN THE THERMO-HYGRO-STATION
The thermo-hygro-station uses 3 x AA, IEC LR6, 1.5V batteries. To install and replace the batteries, please follow the steps below:
Battery replacement
Replace the batteries when the battery symbol of the temperature station appears near the indoor data display.
When the batteries of the transmitter are used up, the low battery icon appears near the outdoor data display.
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 thermo-hygro-station in the first 3 minutes of power being supplied to the transmitter.
1. Insert finger or other solid object in the space at the top 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.
SETTING UP:
WHEN ONE TRANSMITTER IS USED
1. First, insert the batteries in the transmitter (see “How to install and replace batteries in the thermo-hygro outdoor transmitter
above).
2. Within 2 minutes of powering up the transmitter, insert the batteries in the thermo-hygro-station (see “How to install and replace batteries in the thermo-hygro-station” above). Once the batteries are in place, all segments of the LCD will light up briefly. Following the indoor temperature/humidity and the time as 0:00 will be displayed. If this information is not displayed on the LCD after 60 seconds, remove the batteries and wait for at least 60 seconds

before reinserting them. Once the indoor data is displayed user ma y proceed to the next step.
3. After the batteries are inserted, the thermo-hygro-station will start receiving data signal from the transmitter. The outdoor temperature and humidity data should then be displayed on the thermo-hygro­station. 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, the distance between the thermo-hygro-station and the transmitter should not be more than 100 meters (see notes on “Positioning” and “868 MHz reception”).
Note: In the event of changing batteries of the units, ensure 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.
WHEN MORE THAN ONE TRA NSMITTER IS USED
1. User shall remove all the batteries from the thermo-hygro-station and transmitters, and wait 60 seconds.
2. Insert the batteries in the first transmitter.
3. Within 2 minutes of powering up the first transmitter, insert the batteries in the thermo-hygro-station. Once the batteries are in place, all segments of the LCD will light up briefly. Following the indoor temperature/humidity and the time as 0:00 will be displayed. If this information is not displayed on the LCD after 60 seconds, remove the batteries from both units and wait for at least 60 seconds before reinserting them.
4. The outdoor temperature and humidity data from the first transmitter (channel 1) should then be displayed on the thermo-hygro-station. Also, the signal reception icon will be displayed. If this does not happen after 2 minutes, the batteries will need to be removed from both units and reset from step 1.
5. Insert the batteries in the second transmitter as soon as the outdoor temperature and humidity readings from the first transmitter are displayed on the thermo-hygro-station.

45 seconds after the thermo-hygro-station displays the information of the first transmitter or immediately after reception of the second transmitter is finished.
8. In order to ensure sufficient 868 MHz transmission however, the distance between the thermo-hygro-station and the transmitter should not be more than 100 meters (see notes on “Positioning” and “868 MHz reception”).
IMPORTANT:
Transmission problems will arise if the setting for additional sensors is not followed as described above. Should transmission problems occur, it is necessary to remove the batteries from all units and start again the set-up from step 1.
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 thermo-hygro-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.
28
Page 7
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.

ABOUT THE OUTDOOR TRANSMITTER
The range of the thermo-hygro transmitter may be affected by the temperature. At cold temperatures the transmitting distance may be decreased. Please bear this in mind when positioning the transmitters. Also the batteries may be reduced in power for the thermo-hygro transmitter.
868MHz RECEPTION CHECK
If the outdoor temperature and humidity data are not being received within three minutes after setting up (or outdoor display always show “- -.
-” in the outdoor section of the W eather station during normal operation),
please check the following points:
1. The distance of the thermo-hygro-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 868MHz-signal frequency may prevent correct signal transmission or reception.
4. Neighbors using electrical devices operating on the 868MHz-signal
frequency can also cause interference.
Note: When the 868MHz signal is received correctly, do not re-open the battery cover of either the transmitter or thermo-hygro-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 about 100 m from the transmitter to the thermo-hygro-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).
