• Initial setup takes approximately 3 minutes.
• During the connection attempt, the radio symbol on the measuring station will flash.
• Do not press any buttons during setup. Otherwise, values may not be transmitted correctly and there is a risk of value errors and inaccuracies.
• The setup process is completed when the indoor and outdoor measurement data (10/19) is displayed.
• If the base station still does not receive a signal from the measuring station, press and hold the CHANNEL button (D) for approximately 3 seconds to start the manual search for the signal.

Note – Faulty transfer of measured values

• In isolated cases, interference – e.g. from a WLAN network, a computer or a television set – can cause the transfer of measured values between the  measuring station and the base station to fail.

Note – Faulty transfer of measured values

• In this case, you must resynchronise the stations by briefly removing the batteries from both stations and reinserting them.
• If the measured values are not transferred again once the batteries are inserted, replace the batteries with new ones.
• If necessary, select a new location for the base station in order to avoid possible interference in the future.

6.2 Selecting the channel/other measuring stations
