Initial operation

Open the battery compartment cover of the base station and the outdoor sensor.
Insert 4 x AA batteries by observing polarity [ “+” and “-” marks] into the base station.
Insert 2 x AA batteries by observing polarity [ “+” and “-” marks] into the outdoor sensor.
Replace the battery compartment covers on the base station and the outdoor sensor.
When you insert the batteries, all the icons on the LCD display will briefly light up for 3 seconds, and you will hear a signal tone. The station will start to display the indoor temperature.
The base station will now start to make a connection to the outdoor sensor. This operation takes about 3 minutes and is displayed by a flashing reception antenna symbol in the “OUTDOOR” display area on the station.
After the base station establishes a connection with the outdoor sensor, it will automatically enter the radio control time reception mode.

Notes:

If the base station does not establish a link with the outdoor sensor, it will automatically enter the receiving mode of the radio control time after 3 minutes.
The base station searches for the synchronization signal of the outdoor sensor for 3 minutes. Please let the outdoor sensor power on as much as possible within three minutes to prevent the reception time from being missed.

Installing the outdoor sensor

Find an appropriate place for the outdoor sensor.
For wall mounting: hang the outdoor sensor with the backside hole on one screw or a nail in the wall.

Note:

Make sure you install the outdoor sensor within a radius of 60 meters from the weather station. If there is an obstacle between the outdoor sensor and the weather station, shorten the distance between the sensor and the weather station according to the actual location to prevent the wireless signal from penetrating the obstacle and affecting the quality of the data transmission.

Reception of the radio-controlled signal

The clock automatically starts the DCF-77 signal search after 7 minutes of any restart or changing of new fresh batteries. The radio mast icon starts to flash.
At 1:00 /2:00 / 3:00 am, the clock automatically carries out the synchronization procedure with the DCF signal to correct any deviations to the exact time. If this synchronization attempt is unsuccessful (the radio mast icon disappears from the display) and the system will automatically attempt another synchronization at the next full one hour. This procedure is repeated automatically up to total 5 times.
To start manual DCF-77 signal reception, press the “ ” button once. If no signals received within 7 minutes, then the DCF-77 signal search stops (the radio mast icon disappears) and start again at the next full one hour.
Press the “ ” button once during DCF-77 reception to stop searching for the signal

Notes:

A flashing radio mast icon indicates that the DC-77F signal reception has started
A continuously displayed radio mast icon indicates that the DCF-77 signal was received successfully
