Getting Started

Insert batteries

Note

Before use, ensure you insert the batteries in the measuring station first and then in the base station.

Measuring station

Open the battery compartment (28) and remove the contact breaker.
Then close the battery compartment cover.
The status LED lights up.

Base station

Open the battery compartment (24) andremove the contact breaker.
Then close the battery compartment cover.

Replacing the batteries

Note – Replacing the batteries

Note that the stations have to be resynchronised each time after you change the batteries in the measuring or base station.
To do this, remove the batteries from the other station and then reinsert them, or change them as required.

Measuring station

If the symbol is displayed (next to ‘OUTDOOR’), replace the two AA batteries of the measuring station with two new ones.
Open the battery compartment (28), 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

• If the symbol is displayed (next to ‘INDOOR’), replace the three AAA batteries in the base device with new ones.
Open the battery compartment (24), remove and properly dispose of the dead batteries and insert three new AAA batteries with the correct polarity. Then close the battery compartment cover (24).

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.
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

Base station

Use the base to position the base station on a level surface.

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 (27).
Install an anchor, screw, nail, etc. in the wall of your choice.
Hang up the base/measuring station using the opening (27) intended for this purpose.

Operation

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 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 (8) and outdoor (3) measurement data is displayed.

Basic and manual settings Automatic setting using the DCF signal

When the base station has been switched on for the first time and successful transmission has been established between the base station and the measuring station, the clock will automatically search for the DCF signal. During the search, the radio symbol flashes.

Display

| Search for the DCF signal
---|---

Flashing display Manual entry not possible!|

Active

Constant display

| Successful – signal is being received
No display|

Inactive

If the station still does not receive a signal, press and hold the UP button (19) for approximately 3 seconds to start the manual search for the DCF signal. The radio symbol starts to flash.

Note – Time setting

The search process can take up to 7 minutes. If it fails, the radio symbol will go out.
In the meantime, however, you can set the time and the date manually.

Note – Time settings

The clock automatically continues to search for the DCF signal on a daily basis (at 1 am and 5 am). If the signal is received successfully, the manually set time and date are overwritten.

Note – Summer time

The clock automatically switches to summer time. appears on the display as long as summer time is activated.

Manual settings

Press and hold the SET button (20) for approximately 3 seconds to make the following settings one after the other:
Time zone (from -12 to +12 hours CET)
Hour
Minute
Year
Month
Day
Unit of atmospheric pressure (hPa or inHg)
Press the UP button (19) or DOWN button (22) to select your setting. Press the SET button (20) to confirm your entries

Note – Time zone

The DCF signal can be received over long distances, but always transmits the current Central European Time in Germany. Make sure you account for the time difference in countries in other time zones.
If you are in Moscow, the time is 3 hours later than in Germany. This means that you should set +3 for the time zone. The clock then sets the time automatically to 3 hours ahead after receiving the DCF signal or according to the manually set time.

Alarm

Press and hold the ALARM button (23) for approximately 3 seconds to set the time of the alarm displayed. The hours display begins to flash.
Press the UP button (19) or DOWN button (22) to select the hour for the alarm time and confirm your selection by pressing the ALARM button (23).
Repeat the process to set the minutes for the alarm time.
Repeat the entire process to set the second alarm.
Press the ALARM button (23) once to display the alarm time. Press the ALARM button (23) once more to activate the alarm.
Press the ALARM button (23) a third time to deactivate the alarm.
If the alarm is triggered, the alarm symbol is displayed and an alarm will sound.
Press UP (19), DOWN (22), SET (20) or ALARM to stop the alarm.

Note – Snooze function

While the alarm signal is sounding, press the SNOOZE button (18) or LIGHT button (21) to activate the snooze function. The icon begins to flash on the display. The alarm signal will stop for approximately 10 minutes, after which it will sound again.

Atmospheric pressure (hPA/inHg)

Note – Snooze function

While the alarm signal is sounding, press the SNOOZE button (18) or LIGHT button (21) to activate the snooze function. The icon begins to flash on the display. The alarm signal will stop for approximately 10 minutes, after which it will sound again.
Press UP (19), DOWN, (22), SET (20) or ALARM to stop the snooze function and the alarm.

Note

Like all measurement values, atmospheric pressure is subject to a certain measurement tolerance.

Press and hold the Set button (20) until the time begins to flash.
Press the Set button (20) repeatedly until hPA or inHG appears on the display.
Press the UP button (19) or DOWN button (22) to change the unit to inHG or hPA.
The weather station gives a current value trend for atmospheric pressure.

Weather trend display

Based on changes in the atmospheric pressure and the data saved, the base station is able to make weather forecasts for the next 12 to 24 hours.

Note – Weather trend display

The weather forecast function is not available during the first few hours of operation because it requires data that is collected during operation.

The weather trend and the current weather are displayed using four different symbols (1):
