• Use the slide switch (20) to select the channel that the respective measuring station is to use for transmission.
  Each of the three measuring stations must use a different channel!

• Close the battery compartment.

Base station

• Open the battery compartment (15) and insert three AAA batteries with the correct polarity into the battery compartment.
• Then close the battery compartment cover.

Replacing the batteries

Note – Replacing the batteries

• Note that the stations have to be resynchronised each time after you change the batteries in the measuring or base station.

• To do this, remove the batteries from the other station and then reinsert them, or change them as required.
  Measuring station

• If the symbol is displayed on the basis station in the measurement values area of one of the three measuring stations (5/6/7), replace the two AA batteries of the affected measuring station with two new ones.

• Open the battery compartment (21), remove and properly dispose of the depleted batteries, and insert two new AA batteries with the correct polarity. Then close the battery compartment cover.

Base station

• If the symbol is displayed on the base station in the indoor values area (2), replace the three AAA batteries in the base station with three new ones.
• Open the battery compartment (15), remove and properly dispose of the dead batteries and insert three new AAA batteries with the correct polarity. Then close the battery compartment cover.

Installation

Note – Installation

• We recommend initially placing the base station and measuring station(s) in the intended locations without installing them and making all the settings described in

Operation.

Only install the stations once the appropriate settings have been made and a stable wireless connection is established.

Note

• The wireless transmission range between the measuring and base stations is up to 50 m in open spaces.
• Before installation, ensure that wireless transmission will not be disrupted by interference or obstacles like buildings, trees, vehicles, high-voltage lines, etc.
• Before the final installation, ensure that there is sufficient reception between the intended installation locations.
• When installing the measuring station, ensure that it is protected from direct sunlight and rain.
• The international standard height for measuring air temperature is 1.25 m (4 ft) above ground.

Warning

• Buy special or suitable installation material from a specialised dealer for wall-mounting.
• Ensure that no faulty or damaged parts are installed.
• Never apply force during installation. This could damage the product.
• Before installation, ensure that the chosen wall is suitable for the weight to be mounted, and make sure that there are no electrical wires, water, gas or other lines at the installation site on the wall.
• Do not mount the product above locations where persons might linger.

Base station

Use the base to position the base station on a level surface.

Measuring station

• You can also position the measuring station on a level outdoor surface.
• We recommend installing the measuring station securely on an outdoor wall using the opening (19).

Operation

Connection to the measuring station
After you have inserted the batteries, the base station automatically searches for a connection to the three measuring stations and performs initial setup.

Note

• Remember that each of the three measuring stations must use a different channel.
• Initial setup takes approximately 3 minutes.
• During the connection attempt, the measuring station radio symbol 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 process is completed when the indoor (2/4) and outdoor (5/6/7) measurement data is displayed.
• If a signal from the measuring station is still not received, select one of the three channels by pressing the CH button (9). Then hold the CH button (9) for approximately 3 seconds to start the manual search for the signal.
• Press the TX button (18) on the desired measuring station to initiate the transmission of a signal that can be received by the base station.

Basic and manual settings
Automatic setting using the DCF signal (radio-controlled clock)

When the base station has been switched on for the first time and successful transmission has been established between the base station and the measuring station, the clock will automatically search for the DCF signal. During the search, the radio symbol for DCF reception flashes

• If the station still does not receive a signal, press and hold the DOWN button (13) until the radio symbol begins to flash, to start the manual search for the DCF signal.

Note – Time settings

• The search process takes about 3 minutes. If the search fails, it ends and is repeated at the next clock hour. The radio symbol goes out.
• It is not possible to manually set the time and date during the search for the DCF signal.
• The clock automatically continues to search for the DCF signal on a daily basis (between 1 am and 5 am) to correct any deviations.
• If the signal is received successfully, the manually set time and date are overwritten.
• Press and hold the DOWN button (13) again for approximately 3 seconds to stop the manual search.

Note – Summer time

• The clock automatically switches to summer time.

Manual settings

Note

• Hold the UP button (12) or the DOWN button (13) to select the values faster.
• Press the SET button (11) to make the following settings in order:
• Time zone
• Year
• Calendar month
• Date
• Hour
• Minute
• 12/24-hour format
• To select individual values, press the UP button (12) or the DOWN button (13) and confirm each selection by pressing the SET button (11).
• Press the SET button (11) to adopt the set value displayed and to skip.
• If you do not make an entry for 20 seconds, you automatically exit the setting mode.

Note – Time zone

• The DCF signal can be received over long distances, but always transmits the current Central European Time in Germany. Please note that for countries with a different time zone, you must set the time difference manually.
• If you are in Moscow, for example, the time is 3 hours later than in Germany. This means that you should set +3 for the time zone. The clock then sets the time automatically to 3 hours ahead after receiving the DCF signal or according to the manually set time.

Celsius / Fahrenheit

Press the DOWN button (13) to switch between °C and °F for the temperature display.

Alarm
Alarm mode AL is displayed between the hours and minutes of the time display.

• Press the ALARM button (8) once to call up alarm mode.
• Press and hold the ALARM button (8) for approximately 3 seconds to set the alarm time. The hours display begins to flash.
• Press the UP button (12) or the DOWN button (13) to select the hour for the alarm time and confirm your selection by pressing the ALARM button (8). The minutes display begins to flash.
• Repeat the process to set the minutes for the alarm time.
• If you do not make an entry for approximately 5 seconds, you automatically exit the setting mode.
• Press the ALARM button (8) twice to activate or deactivate the alarm. The active alarm is indicated by the alarm symbol . When an active alarm is deactivated, the alarm symbol goes out.
• If the alarm is triggered, the alarm symbol will begin to flash and an alarm will sound.
