INITIAL OPERATION

Obstacles can severely impair the of the transmission.
We recommend a minimum distance of 2.5 meters to all sources of interference, such as televisions or computer monitors
Radio receiving is weaker in rooms with concrete walls (e.g.: in cellars) and in offices. In such extreme circumstances, place the unit close to the window.
Protect the transmitter against any direct sunlight penetration.

A- First use :
Using with batteries :

• Open the battery compartment on the rear side of the outdoor remote sensor and insert the AA batteries. Pay attention to observe the correct polarity. Close in the battery compartment
• Open the battery compartment on the rear side of the receiver and insert the AA batteries. Pay attention to observe the correct polarity. Close the battery compartment.

Using with USB cable :

• Insert the jack plug of cable at back side of weather station then insert the power adaptor included into house socket.
• When you insert the batteries or the cable, all the icon on the LCD display will briefly light up for 3 seconds, and you will hear a beep tone, and detect indoor temperature & humidity.
• The receiver will now start to make a connection to the outdoor remote sensor. This operation takes about 3 minutes

B- Backlight:
When using batteries only, briefly press the SNOOZE/LIGHT ① button to activate the display lighting for 10 seconds.
When using the cable, the display is always light up. Press the SNOOZE/LIGHT ① to have higher level of brightness for about 10 seconds.

Time and date settings

Reception of the Radio signal:

• The clock automatically starts the DCF signal search after 3 minutes of any restart or changing of new fresh batteries. The radio mast icon starts to flash.
• 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), 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 signal reception, press and hold button more than 3 seconds. If no signals received within 7 minutes, then the DCF signal search stops (the radio mast icon disappears) and start again at the next full one hour.
• During the radio control time receiving reception, to stop searching radio signal, press and hold button more than 3 seconds

Time of automatic RCC signal receiving everyday(time zone:0):1:00 a.m., 2:00 a.m., 3:00 a.m.,4:00 a.m. 5:00 a.m. Automatically entering RCC reception, with mandatory reception from 1 to 3 o’clock. If received at 3 o’clock, it will not be received on the same day. Otherwise, it will be selected to receive from 4 to 5 o’clock. After 5 o’clock, regardless of whether the reception is successful, RCC will not be received on the same day.

F.Y.I.:

• A flashing radio mast icon indicates that the DCF signal reception has started
• A continuously displayed radio mast icon indicates that the DCF signal was received successfully
• We recommend a minimum distance of 2.5 meters to all sources of interference, such as televisions or computer monitors
• Radio reception is weaker in rooms with concrete walls (e.g.: in cellars) and in offices. In such extreme circumstances, place the system close to the window.
• During the radio control time receiving mode, only the button function, other button operation has no function, if you want to carry out other functions of operation, please press and hold the button more than 3 seconds to exit the RC receiving mode.

The European directive 2012/19/EC about electronic and electric waste, requires that you can’t throw away defective domestic appliance with common waste. Used device has to be collect separately to optimize the recuperation rate and the recycling of the  materials to reduce the impact on the health and the environment.

Precision and precautions about the battery use

• Throwing away a used battery in the environment or with household waste pollutes and avoids the recuperation of reusable materials.
• It is important to limit the battery consumption and to respect the following rules:
• Favor alkaline battery (last longer than saline battery) and when it’s possible use rechargeable battery.
• Leave used batteries and accumulators in adapted containers that you can find in some retailers. In that way, metals don’t pollute the environment and the health.
• Battery has to be inserted by respecting the polarity show on the apparel and the battery. An incorrect positioning can damage the apparel, cause leaking and even provoke fire and the explosion of the battery.
• To assure a good functioning, battery has to be in a good condition. If there is a problem, put new battery.
• Never try to recharge battery not made for this. It could leak, warm up, cause fire or explode.
• Replace all the battery at the same time. Never mix up alkaline battery with saline battery.
• Used battery has to be removed.
• Also, remove the battery if you’re not using the apparel for a long time.
• Never try to short-circuit the terminal of a battery.
• Never throw away the battery in fire because they can explode.
• Take out the accumulator from the apparel before reload it.
• We recommend that an adult watch if a child change the battery to respect those rules.
• If you swallow a battery, go immediately to your doctor or the hospital.
• For the best ongoing performance, we recommend using only fresh, high-quality, alkaline batteries.
