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

Getting Started

1. Connect the power adapter to the weather station and insert the batteries (3× 1.5 V AAA). Then insert batteries into the wireless sensor (2× 1.5 V AAA). Make sure the polarity is correct when inserting the batteries to avoid damaging the weather station or sensor.
2. The pressure unit icon on the weather station‘s screen will start flashing – set it using the UP/ DOWN buttons and confirm by pressing SNOOZE/LIGHT.
3. The pressure value will start flashing – set it using the UP/DOWN buttons and confirm by pressing SNOOZE/LIGHT.
4. The weather forecast icon will start flashing – set it using the UP/DOWN buttons and confirm by pressing SNOOZE/LIGHT. The setting process will be automatically cancelled if you do not press any button for 20 seconds.
5. The icon for wireless communication with sensor will start flashing, indicating that the weather station is searching for signal from the outdoor sensor. Place the two units next to each other. If outdoor temperature does not appear within 3 minutes, the weather station will stop searching for signal, the icon for wireless communication with sensor will stop flashing and outdoor temperature/humidity will be displayed as –. If signal from the sensor is not detected, repeat the process from step 1.

We recommend placing the sensor on the north side of the house. The range of the sensor may
decrease substantially in areas with a 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.
The sensor can be placed vertically or hung on a wall.
A sensor with a wired probe can be placed in 2 ways:
1. The sensor is located in a room and the wired probe is led to the outside through a gap in the
window. In that case, the sensor measures outdoor temperature and indoor humidity.
2. The sensor and the wired probe are located outside. In that case, the sensor measures outdoor
temperature and humidity.
If the weather station screen shows the low battery icon in field no. 5, replace the batteries in the sensor.
If the weather station screen shows the low battery icon in field no. 17, replace the batteriesin the station.

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

Weather Station RESET

• If the weather station displays incorrect values or does not respond to button presses, remove the batteries and disconnect the power adapter, then reinsert the batteries and reconnect the adapter.
• This will erase all data; you will need to set the weather station again.
• The same method is used to reset the sensor.

Changing Sensor Channel and Connecting Additional Sensors
The station can be paired with up to 3 wireless sensors.

1. Long-press the CH button on the station; the icon will start flashing.
2. Remove the battery compartment cover on the back of the sensor and insert alkaline batteries (2× 1.5 V AAA).
3. Set the sensor channel number (1, 2, 3) of your choice by repeatedly pressing the CH button.

The channel number will be displayed on the sensor‘s screen next to the humidity value. Data from the sensor will be loaded into the station within 3 minutes. Repeat the whole process if the sensor‘s signal is not detected.

Choose the sensor channel number (1, 2, or 3) by repeatedly pressing the CH button. The number will be displayed on the station‘s screen in field no. 3.

Setting the Station to Display Data from Multiple Sensors
Press the CH button on the weather station repeatedly to view data from each connected sensor one by one

Radio-Controlled Clock (DCF77)
After registering the wireless sensor, the weather station will automatically search for DCF77 signal
(hereinafter referred to as DCF) for 7 minutes; the m icon will flash depending on the strength of DCF
signal. During the search, no other data on the screen will be updated and buttons will be disabled
(except SNOOZE/LIGHT).

Pressing the DOWN button for 3 seconds cancels the search for DCF signal.
Signal detected – the icon stops flashing and the current time and date will be displayed with the icon. Signal not detected – the DCF icon will not be displayed.

To repeat the search for DCF signal for 7 minutes, press and hold the DOWN button for 3 seconds. To cancel the search for DCF signal, press and hold the DOWN button again for 3 seconds. DCF signal will be synchronised regularly every day between 01:00 and 05:00. During summer time, the icon will be displayed below the time value.

In standard conditions (at safe distance from sources of interference, such as TV sets or computer monitors), the reception of time signal takes several minutes.

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

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

The reception of the 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 the DCF signal but the current time on the screen is incorrect (e.g. shifted ±1 hour), you must 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

Manual Setting of Time and Date, 12/24 h Time Format, °C/°F Temperature Unit

1. Press and hold the MODE button for 3 seconds.
2. Use the UP or DOWN button to set the following parameters: year – month – day – date display format – calendar language (GER, FRE, ITA, DUT, SPA, DAN, ENG) – 12/24 h time format – time zone – hour – minute – °C/°F temperature unit.

Setting an Alarm
The weather station allows you to set 2 separate alarm times. Press the ALARM button repeatedly to view the alarm time for alarm no. 1 (A1) or 2 (A2). Then long-press the ALARM button; the time value will start flashing. Set the time by repeatedly pressing the UP or DOWN button; to navigate in the menu, press the ALARM button again.

3. Press the DOWN button 3×.
   The outdoor drew point (DEW) value will appear on the screen. Dew point is the temperature at which air becomes fully saturated with water vapour, which then starts condensing in the form of water droplets.

4. Press the DOWN button 4×.
   The outdoor heat index (HEAT) will appear on the screen. The value is only displayed if outdoor temperature is over 28 °C.

Outdoor Clothing Index
The icon for recommended clothes changes based on outdoor temperature. It is displayed in field no. 6. It is displayed separately for each connected sensor

| Colp
| Comforet
| Hot

---|---|---|---
Outdoor temperature| <18 °C| 18 °C to 28 °C| >28 °C

Heat Index – Smiley Face
The heat index combines indoor air temperature and relative air humidity to determine the apparent temperature – also known as felt air temperature.

The body normally cools by sweating. Sweat is essentially water that conducts heat away from the body though evaporation. If relative humidity is high, the speed of water evaporation is low and heat dissipates from the body more slowly. As a result, the body retains more heat than it would in a dry environment.

Weather Forecast
The station uses changes in atmospheric pressure to forecast weather for the next 12–24 hours for an area within the radius of 15–20 km.

The accuracy of the weather forecast is approximately 70 %. As the weather forecast may not be 100 % accurate, neither the manufacturer nor the seller can be held responsible for any loss caused by an incorrect forecast. When you first set or reset the weather station, it takes approximately 12 hours before the weather station begins forecasting correctly. The weather station displays 7 weather forecast icons.

Note : The currently displayed icon indicates the forecast for the next 12–24 hours. It may not reflect the current state of the weather.
