Attention
Only use 1.5 V alkaline batteries of the same type; do not use rechargeable 1.2 V batteries. Lower voltage may cause both of the units to not function.

Getting Started

1. First insert batteries into the weather station (3× 1.5 V AAA)/ plug the 5 V power adapter included with the device into the station.
2. Then insert batteries into the wireless sensor (2× 1.5 V AAA). When inserting the batteries make sure the polarity is correct to avoid damaging the weather station or sensor.
3. After inserting batteries into the weather station, the altitude information on the weather station’s screen will begin flashing; use the “ “, ” ” (C and D) buttons to input the altitude of your location and confirm by pressing the History (E) button. The weather forecast icon will start flashing; use the “ “, “ ” (C and D) buttons to select the current weather and confirm by pressing the History button.
4. Then, insert batteries into the wireless sensor (2× 1.5 V AAA) and make sure you observe the correct battery polarity. The red LED indicator will start flashing. The weather station is now trying to connect to the wireless sensor. This process can take up to 3 minutes. In the event of a connection failure, press and hold the “SEARCH” button on the station for longer than 3 seconds.
5. We recommend placing the sensor on the north side of the house. The range of the sensor may decrease substantially in areas with large number of obstacles. The sensor is resistant to dripping water; however, it should not be exposed to sustained rain. Do not place the sensor on metal objects as these would reduce transmission range.
6. You can place the sensor vertically or hang it on a wall.
7. If the weather station screen shows the low battery icon in field no. 17, replace the batteries in the sensor.
8. If the weather station screen shows the low battery icon in field no. 26, replace the batteries in the sensor.

Radio Controlled Clock (DCF77)

• Automatic search for DCF will begin after the 3 minutes spent searching for the outdoor sensor. The ” ” symbol next to the time will be flashing. Once the weather station successfully receives DCF signal, the screen will show the ” ” icon.
• Simultaneously press the “ ” and ” ” buttons for 3 seconds to manually turn DCF signal search on or off.
• The clock synchronises daily between 1:00 and 3:00 a.m. If synchronisation is unsuccessful, the process is repeated between 4:00 and 5:00 a.m.
• In standard conditions (at safe distance from sources of interference, such as TV sets or computer onitors), the reception of time signal takes several minutes.

If the weather station does not detect the signal, follow these steps:

• Move the weather station to another location and try to detect DCF signal again.
• Check the distance of the clock from sources of interference (computer monitors or television sets). The distance should be at least 1.5 to 2 m during signal reception.
• When receiving DCF signal, do not place the weather station in the proximity of metal doors, window rames and other metal structures or objects (washing machines, dryers, refrigerators etc.).
• In reinforced concrete structures (cellars, high-rise buildings etc.), the DCF signal reception is weaker, depending on the conditions.
• In extreme cases, place the weather station close to a window toward the transmitter.

Reception of DCF radio signal is affected by the following factors:

• thick walls and insulation, basements and cellars,
• inadequate local geographical conditions (these are difficult to assess in advance),
• atmospheric disturbances, thunderstorms, electrical appliances with no interference elimination, television sets and computers located near the DCF receiver

If the weather station cannot detect the DCF signal, time and date must be set manually. Note: If the weather station detects DCF signal but the current time on the display is incorrect (e.g. shifted ±1 hour), you must always set the correct time zone for the country where you are using the station, see Manual Setting of Time and Date. The current time will be shown with the appropriate time zone difference.

Note: It may take up to 30 minutes since the insertion of batteries into the units before the station begins showing all the correct measured data and loads DCF signal.

Manual Setting of Time and Date

1. While in time display mode, press the “MODE” button for 3 seconds.
2. Use the “ ****” or “ ” buttons to set the following parameters and confirm with “MODE” in the following order: year – month – day – time zone (-12 to +12) – time format 12/24 h – calendar language (EN – English, GE – German, SP – Spanish, IT – Italian, FR – French, DU – Dutch, DA – Danish) – unit of pressure (inhg or hpa) – hour – minute.

Alarm Settings

The weather station allows you to set 2 separate alarm times. Repeatedly press the MODE button and select alarm time no. 1 (A1) or alarm time no. 2 (A2). To activate the alarm, press ” ” or “  “. The icon will appear (active). Another press of the ” ” or “ ” button deactivates the alarm; the icon will disappear (inactive). Then, long-press the MODE button to set your alarm of choice; the time setting will start flashing.Set the alarm time using the “ ” or ” ” buttons; to switch selection, press the MODE button again. Based on the settings, the display will show an icon of the corresponding alarm. The alarm will then activate at the set time. The alarm rings for 2 minutes unless a button is pressed. If you wish to deactivate the alarm, repeatedly press the MODE button to select the alarm of choice and press “ ” or ” “to deactivate it. The alarm icon will disappear from the screen.
