Elements
Base station (Receiver) (Fig.1)

Getting started

Insert the batteries

• Place the base station and the transmitter on a table at a distance of about 1.5 meters from each other. Avoid being close to possible sources of interference such as electronic devices and radio equipment.
• Open the battery compartment of the transmitter and insert two new AA 1.5 V batteries, polarity as illustrated. All LCD segments will be displayed for a short moment.
• The transmitter’s display shows the current temperature and humidity. The switch is set to channel 1.
• Close the battery compartment.
• Insert the two new batteries 1,5 V AA into the battery compartment of the base station. Make sure the polarities are correct.
• All LCD segments will be displayed for a short moment.
• The indoor temperature and humidity appear on the display.

Reception of outdoor values

• After the batteries are inserted, the outdoor values will be transmitted to the base station. The reception symbol for the transmitter flashes.
• If the reception of the outdoor values fails, “- -“ appears on the base station display. Check the batteries and try it again. Check if there is any source of interference.
• You can also start the outdoor transmitter search manually later (e.g. if the transmitter is lost or if the batteries are changed). Press and hold the CHANNEL button for three seconds. The last registered transmitter (channel) will be cancelled.
• Press the TX button in the transmitter’s battery compartment.
• The reception symbol of the transmitter flashes and the base station will scan the outdoor values.

Reception of the DCF frequency signal

• After the reception of the outdoor values, the clock will now scan the DCF frequency signal and the DCF symbol flashes on the display.
• When the time code is successfully received after 3-10 minutes, the radio-controlled time and the DCF symbol will be shown steadily on the display.
• The DCF reception always takes place at 1:00, 2:00 and 3:00 o’clock in the morning. If the reception was not successfully received, further attempts will be taken at 4:00 and 5:00 o’clock.
• You can also activate the DCF reception manually. Press the -/MIN button for 3 seconds. The DCF reception symbol will be flashing.
• Press and hold the -/MIN button again for 3 seconds to stop the reception process. The DCF reception symbol disappears.

Note on radio-controlled time

• The time is transmitted from an atomic clock near Frankfurt am Main by a DCF-77 (77.5 kHz) frequency signal with a range of about 1,500 km. Your radio-controlled clock receives the signal, converts it and always shows the exact time. The adjustment of Daylight Saving Time and Standard Time is also automatic.
• During night-time, the atmospheric interference is usually less severe. A single daily reception is adequate to keep the accuracy deviation under 1 second. Inextreme cases, please place the unit close to a window to improve reception.

Operation

• The device will automatically quit the setting mode if no button is pressed for 20 seconds.
• Press and hold the MAX/+ or -/MIN button in setting mode for fast mode.

Manual settings

• Press and hold the SET button for three seconds to enter the setting mode.
• The first adjustable value flashes on the display.
• Use the MAX/+ or -/MIN button to make the desired setting, while the value flashes.
• Confirm with the SET button and go to the next setting.
• The sequence is shown as follows:
• DCF reception ON/OFF (default: DCF ON)
• Time zone -12/+12 (default: 0H)
• Auto-reset ON/OFF (default AUTO MIN MAX OFF)
• Hour, minute
• Year, month, day

DCF reception

• By default, the DCF reception is activated (DCF ON) and after successful reception of the DCF signal no manual time setting is necessary.
• In the setting mode, you can deactivate (DCF OFF) or activate again the DCF reception using the MAX/+ or -/MIN button.
• Once the DCF time reception is deactivated the clock must be manually set. No time zone will appear.
• If the DCF reception is activated, the manually set time will be overwritten by the DCF time when the signal is received successfully.

Time zone setting

• In the setting mode, use the MAX/+ or -/MIN button to make the time zone correction (-12/+12).
• The time zone correction is needed for countries where the DCF signal can be received but the time zone is different from the DCF time (e.g. +1=one hour plus).

Automatic reset of the maximum and minimum values

• In the setting mode, you can activate (AUTO MIN MAX ON) or deactivate again the automatic reset of the maximum and minimum values using the MAX/+ or -/MIN button.
• If the automatic reset is activated, AUTO appears on the display.
• The maximum and minimum values will be reset automatically every midnight at 0:00 (see “Reset of maximum and minimum values”).

Temperature and humidity
Indication of maximum and minimum values

• Press the -/MIN button in normal mode. MIN flashes on the display.
• You can now see the lowest measuring values since the last reset with time and date of recording.
• Press the -/MIN button and go to the next value. The sequence is shown as follows: Outdoor temperature, outdoor humidity, indoor temperature, indoor humidity.
• If you have installed more than one transmitter, press the CHANNEL button to change between the outdoor transmitters.
• Press the -/MIN button once more to go back to the current values display.
• Repeat the process by pressing the MAX/+ button to see the maximum values. MAX flashes on the display.

Reset of maximum and minimum values

a) Manual reset

• Press and hold the SET button for 3 seconds during the highest or lowest values are displayed. The values will be deleted and reset to the current state.

b) Automatic reset

• Provided that in the setting mode the automatic reset is activated (AUTO MIN MAX ON). AUTO appears permanently on the display.
• All maximum and minimum values will be reset automatically every midnight at 0:00.
• An interim manual reset is still possible.

Comfort level indicator of indoor climate
On the display appears a smiley to indicate the comfort level (Fig.4).

Forecast
Weather forecast symbols

• The weather station has 6 different weather symbols

• The weather forecast relates to a range of 12 to 24 hours and indicates only a general weather trend. For example, if the current weather is cloudy and the rain symbol is displayed, it does not mean the product is faulty because it is not raining. It simply means that the air pressure has dropped and the weather is expected to get worse but not necessarily rain.

Trend arrows

• The trend arrows on the display will show whether the atmospheric pressure of the last 3 hours is increasing, steady or decreasing.

Positioning and mounting of the base station and the transmitter

• When placed outdoors, choose a shady and dry place for the transmitter. Direct sunlight may trigger incorrect measurement and continuous humidity damages the electronic components needlessly.
• Place the base station in any room of the house. Make sure to avoid the vicinity of any source of interference such as computer screens, TV sets or solid metal objects.
• Once the desired location is chosen, check whether the transmission from the transmitter to the base station is possible (transmission range of up to 100m in open areas). Within solid walls, especially ones with metal parts, the transmission range can be reduced considerably.
• If necessary, choose, another position for the outdoor transmitter and/or receiver.
• If the transmission is successful, you can place or wall mount the base station and the outdoor transmitter with the suspension device.

Additional outdoor transmitters (optional)
