Before commissioning

NOTICE

Avoid connection faults
In order to avoid connection problems between the devices, the following points must be observed during commissioning.

1. Place the base unit (receiver) and sensor (transmitter) as close together as possible.
2. Connect the power supply to the base unit and wait until the indoor temperature is displayed.
3.  Establish power supply for the sensor.
4.  Set up/operate the base unit and sensor within the effective transmission range.
5. Make sure that the base unit and the radio sensor are set to the same channel.

When changing the batteries, always remove the batteries from both the base unit and the sensor and reinsert them in the correct order so that the radio link can be re-established. If one of the two devices is operated via a mains power connection, the power connection must also be briefly disconnected for this device when the batteries are changed. If, for example, only the batteries in the sensor are re-placed, the signal may subsequently not be received at all or not be received correctly. Note that the actual range depends on the respective construction materials used for the buildings as well as the respective position of the base unit and the outdoor sensor. External influences (various ra-dio transmitters and other sources of interference) can greatly reduce the possible range. In such cases, we recommend finding other locations for both the base unit and the outdoor sensor. Some-times moving the sensor by just a few centimeters is enough!

The first steps

Follow the bullet points in order, to ensure a successful setup.

1. Setting up power supply (base station)
2. As soon as the radio signal icons for the outdoor sensors start flashing, insert the batteries into the sensors immediately, otherwise the station will eventually switch to DCF radio signal search. No outdoor sensors can be connected during the DCF radio signal search. If new outdoor sensors are to be connected, please start from point 1 again.
3. When the radio signal next to the time flashes, the DCF radio signal is being searched for. During this search, the outdoor sensors cannot be connected. The DCF search process may take up to 15 minutes and then restarts every hour if the DCF connection is not successful until the connec-tion is successful.

Power supply

Base unit

1. Insert the DC plug into the connection socket on the base unit.

2. Insert the Euro plug into the mains power socket.

3. The device is powered on directly.

4. Wait until indoor temperature is displayed on the base unit.
   NOTICE! For permanent operation, mains power supply is recommended. Alternatively, op-eration using batteries is also possible to maintain the time setting in the event of a power failure. In battery operation, the station is set to power saving mode after 6 seconds and the display indication is deactivated. The display can be reactivated by pressing the snooze button.

5. Remove the battery compartment cover.

6. Insert batteries into the battery compartment. Make sure that the batteries are correctly aligned (+/- poles).

7. Replace the battery compartment cover.

8. Wait until indoor temperature is displayed on the base unit.
   NOTICE!  When changing the type of power supply (mains power or batteries), the power supply is temporarily interrupted for technical reasons. All previously made settings will be lost.

9. Remove the battery compartment cover.

10. Insert batteries into the battery compartment. Make sure that the batteries are correctly aligned (+/- poles).

11. Move the channel slider to the desired channel.
    NOTICE! This weather station can be operated with one or more wireless sensors. Each con-nected wireless sensor must be operated on a different channel. If only one wireless sensor is connected, it should be operated on channel 1.

12. Replace the battery compartment cover.

Automatic time setting

After the power is restored, the unit automatically searches for the radio signal. It takes approximately 3-8 minutes for this process to complete. If the radio signal is received correctly, the date and time are set automatically and the reception sym-bol is displayed.
NOTICE! Some functions/buttons are deactivated during radio signal reception.
If no radio signal is received, proceed as follows:

1. Press the UP button on the base unit for approx. 3 seconds to activate reception of the radio sig-nal. Reception is now initialized again.
2. If still no radio signal is received, the time must be set manually.

Manual time setting

To set the time/date manually, first check whether the radio symbol in the display is still flashing (auto-matic reception of the time signal is then still active). Now press the UP button for approx. 3 seconds to deactivate reception.

1. Press the SET button for approx. 3 seconds to enter the time setting mode.
2. Digits to be set are flashing.
3. Press UP or DOWN button to change the value.
4. Press the SET button to confirm and switch to the next setting.
5. Sequence of the settings: Hours > minutes > year > day/month, month/day > month > day > air pressure unit > exit
6. Finally, press the SET button to save the settings and exit settings mode.

Alarm setting

1. Press the ALARM button to display the alarm time.
2. Press the ALARM button for approx. 2 seconds to enter the alarm time settings mode.
