NOTES:
• First insert the batteries of main unit, then insert the batteries of the outdoor sensor within 3
minutes after the main unit is powered on, to assure that the sensor data is received well.
In case of the outdoor sensor data is not received, please press
֠֠֠֠
key for more than 3
seconds to synchronize the sensors signal again.
• Every time the batteries are replaced in the main unit, it will loose all the weather data.
• Every time the batteries are replaced in the sensor unit, it will synchronize with the main unit
only if you press the
֠֠֠֠
key for more than 3 seconds.
• Mounting the main unit
The main unit can be placed onto any flat surface or wall mounted at the desired location by
Hanging hole, It is important to check that the radio signal can be received before mounting.

• Mounting the outdoor sensor onto the stainless steel mast
For accurate results, the outdoor sensor mast should be securely mounted onto a horizontal
surface and in an open area away from trees and other coverings where rainfall or wind
speed may be reduced causing inaccurate reading.
1. Mounting the wind speed sensor to the first plastic bracket：：：：first check the wind-fan
can rotate freely before fixing . The wind speed sensor should now be mounted onto the
bracket provided to allow the wind to travel around the sensor unhindered from all
directions.please follow the below display :
2. Mounting the wind direction sensor to the first plastic bracket: first check the wind
direction sensor before fixing,there is one cable from wind speed sensor, please insert it
into the socket under the wind direction sensor.please follow the below display:
3. Mounting the rain sensor to the second plastic bracket: there are vertical engraved
lines at the bottom edge of the round cover and the sensor part, you only need adjust the
two line into one position, then turn clockwise, the rain sensor part will be connected well,
Page 5
then fix them with 4 screws onto the plastic bracket ( don’t use only 2 screws ) please
follow the below dispay：
4. Mounting the thermo-hygro sensor to the third plastic bracket: once the wind
sensors and rain sensor are fixed onto the bracket, connect the cables to the
corresponding thermo-hygro sensor sockets with the plugs, so that data can be
transmitted to the main unit ,then put the house-like cover onto the thermo-hygro sensor,
please follow the below display:
Note: please don’t put in or take off the plug very offen,or put the plug outside in the air
so long time to avoid any damage of the plug , if so, there will be bad connection.

Initial Operation
• After inserting the batteries, the main unit will connect with the outdoor sensor by RF signal.
The RF signal symbol at the out area will flash.
• This process takes about 3 minutes. Then the display shows the outdoor temperature
/humidity/wind speed/wind direction/rainfall, in case of failure of reception , pls press“֠“for
more than 3 seconds to receive again.
• the automatic receiving of the DCF radio signal begins after 3 minutes of outdoor RF
reception.
• This RCC reception process is going on,the flashing symbol “radio tower“ appears in the
time display area at the same time.
• Once radio signal receiving is successful, the display shows the symbol “radio
tower“ continuously.no flashing.

Page 11
Illumination
Press the key “SNOOZE/LIGHT“ to activate the display illumination for 8 seconds.
Moon phase display
The weather station uses saved data to show the moon phase
A B C D E F G H
A: New moon B: increasing crescent C: First half
D: increasing 3/4 E: Full moon F: decreasing 3/4
G: Last half H: decreasing crescent
Living space humidity
The weather station uses saved data to determine the humidity in the living space and shows the
respective symbols.
comfortable, dry, humid
Low battery condition display
The weather station displays the low battery condition symbol to remind the batteries of the
weather station or the outdoor sensor need to be exchanged.
• Weather station low battery condition display: within indoor area of the display
• Outdoor sensor low battery condition display: in the outdoor area of the display
RF connection to the outdoor sensor
• Press and hold the key “֠֠֠֠ “ for 3 seconds to search for outdoor sensor , the RF signal
symbol at the outside area will flashing when trying to connect . RF reception is weaker in
rooms with concrete walls (e.g. in the basement) and in office buildings, the distance will be
shorten if have interference. For extreme cases, please put the main unit near a window
Reception of radio controlled signal
• DCF radio signal search starts automatically about 3 minutes after battery exchange. The
“radio tower” signal is flashing.
• Press
“▼“,“▲“
for more than 3 seconds to enter or quit the Radio controlled signal reception
Page 12
• The clock synchronizes with the DCF radio signal automatically and daily from AM 1:00 to
3:00 to correct potential time deviations each hour. If the synchronization is unsuccessful
(“radio tower“ symbol disappears), a further synchronization attempt is made From 4:00 and
5:00 until success.This process is repeated up until 5:00 AM. If still not success, daily
reception stop.
Information
• Flashing “radio tower” symbol stands for DCF radio signal reception started.
• Continuous “radio tower” symbol stands for DCF radio signal reception successful.
• Please observe a minimal distance of 2.5m to sources of interference such as televisions or
computer screens.
• The radio signal is weaker in rooms with concrete walls (e.g. in the basement) and in office
buildings. For extreme cases, please put the main unit near a window.
• There are less atmospheric disturbances at night. A radio time signal reception is usually
possible at that time. One synchronisation per day is sufficient to keep the time display
accuracy at 1 second.
Tip
You can adjust the time manually in case the clock cannot receive the DCF radio signal (due to
interferences, large distance to the sender, obstructions like mountains, etc.) As soon as the radio
signal can be received, the clock wil be adjusted automatically.
Radio signal sender coverage up to 1500km distance to Frankfurt/Main.
