• To do this, remove the batteries from the other station and then reinsert them, or change them as required.

Measuring station

• If the symbol (next to the outdoor temperature (13)) is displayed, replace the two AA batteries of the measuring station with two new ones.
• Open the battery compartment (30), remove and properly dispose of the dead batteries and insert
• two new AA batteries with the correct polarity. Then close the battery compartment cover.

Base station

• Open the battery compartment (26), remove and properly dispose of the dead batteries and insert two new AA batteries with the correct polarity. Then close the battery compartment cover.

Installation

Note – Installation

• We recommend initially placing the base and measuring stations in the intended locations without installing them and making all the settings described in 6. Operation – to do.
• Only install the stations once the appropriate settings have been made and a stable wireless connection is established.

Note

• The wireless transmission range between the measuring station and base station is up to 30 m in open spaces.

Note

• Before installation, ensure that wireless transmission will not be disrupted by interference or obstacles like buildings, trees, vehicles, high-voltage lines, etc. To avoid transmission interference, do not operate adjacent wireless devices on the same frequency (433 MHz).
• Before the final installation, ensure that there is sufficient reception between the intended installation locations.
• When installing the measuring station, ensure that it is protected from direct sunlight and rain.
• The international standard height for measuring air temperature is 1.25 m (4 ft) above ground.

Warning

• Buy special or suitable installation material from a specialised dealer for wall-mounting.
• Ensure that no faulty or damaged parts are installed.
• Never apply force during installation. This could damage the product.
• Before installation, ensure that the chosen wall is suitable for the weight to be mounted, and make sure that there are no electrical wires, water, gas or other lines at the installation site on the wall.
• Do not mount the product above locations where persons might linger.

5.1 Base station

• Alternatively, you can install the base station on a wall using the opening (20) on the back.

5.2 Measuring station

• You can also position the measuring station on a level outdoor surface.
• We recommend installing the measuring station securely on an outdoor wall using the recess (29).
• Install an anchor, screw, nail, etc. in the wall of your choice.
• Hang up the base/measuring station using the opening (29) intended for this purpose.

Operation

6.1 Connection to the measuring station

• When the batteries have been inserted, the base station automatically searches for a connection to the measuring station and to the radio signal.

Note

• The first search for the measuring station can take up to 3 minutes; the search for the radio signal can take up to 7 minutes.
• If the base station receives no signal from the measuring station, it automatically begins to search for the radio signal after 3 minutes.

Note

• The respective symbols will flash during the connection attempts connection to the measuring station, connection to the DCF signal
• Do not press any buttons during setup. Otherwise, values may not be transmitted correctly and there is a risk of value errors and inaccuracies.
• Do not change the location of the base station during the search processes.
• The process is completed when the indoor (17) and outdoor (13) measurement data is displayed.

6.2 Basic and manual settings

Automatic setting using the DCF signal
