Getting started

Insert the batteries

• Remove the protective film from the display.
• Place the base station and the transmitter on a table at a distance of about 1.5 meters from each other. Avoid being close to possible sources of interference such as electronic devices and radio equipment.
• Open the battery compartment of the base station and insert two new AA 1.5V batteries, polarity as illustrated.
• The device will alert you with a beep and all LCD segments will be displayed for a short moment. The indoor temperatu with highest and lowest values appears on the display.
• Close the battery cover again.
• The indicator light lights up briefly. The outdoor temperature is shown. Close the battery cover again.

Outdoor values reception

• The base station will scan the outdoor temperature for three minutes and the reception symbol flashes.
• If the reception of the outdoor temperature fails, “- -.-” remains on the display. Check the batteries and try it again.
• You can also start the outdoor transmitter search manually later (e.g. if the transmitter is lost or if the batteries are changed). Press and hold the CHANNEL button on the base station for two seconds. The last registered transmitter (channel) will be cancelled and “- -.-” appears on the display. During the transmitter search the maximum and minimum values are automatically reset.

Radio-controlled time reception

• The clock will now scan the DCF frequency signal and the DCF symbol flashes on the display. When the time code is suc-cessfully received after some minutes, the radio-controlled time and the DCF symbol will be shown steadily on the display.

• If there is no reception, you can start the initialization manually. Press and hold the DOWN/RCC button for 2 seconds.

• The DCF symbol flashes.

• Interrupt the reception by pressing the DOWN/RCC button again for two seconds. The DCF reception symbol disappears.

• The DCF reception always takes place daily at 1:00, 2:00, 3:00, 4:00 and 5:00 o’clock in the morning.

• There are three different reception states:
  flashing – reception is active
  remains – reception is successful
  disappears – no reception

• If the clock cannot detect the DCF-signal (e.g. due to interference, transmitting distance, etc.), the time can be set manual-ly. The clock will then work as a normal quartz clock (see: “Manual settings”).

Note on radio-controlled time

• The time is transmitted from an atomic clock near Frankfurt am Main by a DCF-77 (77.5 kHz) frequency signal with a range of about 1,500 km. Your radio-controlled clock receives the signal, converts it and always shows the exact time. The adjustment of Daylight Saving Time and Standard Time is also automatic.
• During night-time, the atmospheric interference is usually less severe. A single daily reception is adequate to keep the accuracy deviation under 1 second. In extreme cases, please place the unit close to a window to improve reception.

Operation

• The device will automatically quit the setting mode if no button is pressed for 15 seconds.
• Press and hold the UP/MAX/MIN or DOWN/RCC button in setting mode for fast mode.

Manual settings

• Press and hold the MODE button for two seconds to enter the setting mode.
• The first adjustable value flashes on the display.
• Use the UP/MAX/MIN or DOWN/RCC button to make the desired setting, while the value flashes.
• Confirm with the MODE button and go to the next setting.
• The sequence is shown as follows:
  • Year, month, day
  • Hours, minutes
  • Time zone +12/-12 (default: ZONE 00)
  • DCF reception ON/OFF (default: ON)

Time zone setting

• In the setting mode you can make the time zone correction +12/-12).
• The time zone correction is needed for countries where the DCF signal can be received but the time zone is different from the DCF time (e.g. +1=one hour plus).

DCF reception

• By default, the DCF reception is activated (ON) and after successful reception of the DCF signal no manual time setting is necessary.
• Once the DCF time reception is deactivated (OFF) the time and date must be manually set.
• If the DCF reception is activated, the manually set time will be overwritten by the DCF time when the signal is received successfully.

Date display

• With the MODE button you can switch between the display of time and date. The sequence is shown as follows: time, year, month, date. The display automatically switches back to the current time display.

Maximum and minimum temperatures

• The maximum and minimum outdoor and indoor temperatures since the last reset are permanently displayed.
• Press and hold the UP/MAX/MIN button for 3 seconds. All MAX/MIN values will be deleted and reset to the current state.

Forecast

Weather forecast symbols

• The weather station has 7 different weather symbols:

• A snow crystal (symbol 6 and 7) is shown if rain or thunderstorm is forecasted and the outdoor temperature on channel 1 is under 0°C. If no transmitter is connected on channel 1, the device uses the values of channel 2 or 3. If this respective
  transmitter is not situated outside or if there is no transmitter connected, there will be no snow forecast.

• The weather forecast relates to a range of 6 to 12 hours and indicates only a general weather trend. For example, if the cur-rent weather is cloudy and the rain symbol is displayed, it does not mean the product is faulty because it is not raining. It simply means that the air pressure has dropped and the weather is expected to get worse but not necessarily rain.

Trend arrows

The trend arrows on the display will show whether the atmospheric pressure of the last 3 hours is increasing, steady decreasing.

Alarm mode

Press the ALARM button in normal mode to enter the alarm mode. 7:00 (default) or the last adjusted alarm time appear on the display. Press again the ALARM button. The alarm is activated and the alarm symbol appears on the display. Press again the ALARM button to deactivate the alarm function. The alarm symbol disappears. The display automatically switches back to the current time display after 5 seconds.

Alarm time setting

• Press and hold the ALARM button for three seconds to enter the alarm setting mode.
• The alarm symbol and the hour digit are flashing. Press the UP/MAX/MIN or DOWN/RCC button to adjust the hours.
• Confirm the setting with the ALARM button and set minutes in the same way.
• Press the ALARM button again to return to the current time.
• The alarm is activated and the alarm symbol appears on the display.

Alarm process

• When the alarm is activated, the alarm starts to ring when the set alarm time is reached. The alarm symbol flashes.
• If the alarm is not stopped manually, the ascending alarm tone automatically turns off after two minutes and the alarm will be reactivated at the same set time on the following day.
• Press any button to turn off the alarm sound and to activate the snooze function. The snooze symbol flashes.
• The alarm will be interrupted for about 5 minutes.
• Press any button to stop the alarm function.

Positioning and mounting of the base station and the transmitter

• When placed outdoors, choose a shady and dry place for the transmitter. Direct sunlight may trigger incorrect measurement and continuous humidity damages the electronic components needlessly.
• Place the base station in any room of the house. Make sure to avoid the vicinity of any source of interference such as computer screens, TV sets or solid metal objects.
• Once the desired location is chosen, check whether the transmission from the transmitter to the base station is possible (transmission range of up to 100m in open areas). Within solid walls, especially ones with metal parts, the transmission range can be reduced considerably.
• If necessary, choose, another position for the outdoor transmitter and/or receiver.
• If the transmission is successful, you can place or wall mount the base station and the outdoor transmitter with the suspension device.

Battery replacement

• As soon as the corresponding battery symbol appears in the display, please change the batteries of the base station transmitter.
• Please note: When the batteries are changed, the contact between the outdoor transmitter and the base station must restored – so always restart both devices or start a manual transmitter search.

Additional outdoor transmitters (optional)

• When having more than one external transmitter (maximum 3), select a different channel for each one with the 1/2/3  switch inside the transmitter’s battery compartment. Insert two new AAA 1.5 V batteries, polarity as illustrated. Start the base station operation or the manual search for the outdoor transmitters.
• For the manual search choose the respective transmitter by pressing the CHANNEL button.
• Press and hold the CHANNEL button for two seconds. The last registered transmitter (channel) will be cancelled and t transmitter search begins.
• The outdoor temperature with highest and lowest values and the channel number appear on the base station display. If you have installed more than one outdoor transmitter, press the CHANNEL button on the base station to change between the channels 1 to 3.
• You can also choose an alternating channel display. Press the CHANNEL button. After the last registered channel (1 to 3) a circle symbol will appear. To deactivate the function press the CHANNEL button again.
