Getting Started

Measuring station

Open the battery compartment cover.
Set the desired channel (32) with the switch. If you are using only one transmitter, please leave the selection at „1“.
Insert 2 new UM-4 or „AAA“ 1.5V batteries observing correct polarity.
Close the battery compartment cover and set the unit in the desired location.

Note
Before use, ensure you insert the batteries in the measuring station first and then in the base station.

Base station

Open the battery compartment (28) and insert two AAA batteries with the correct polarity. Close the battery compartment.

Installation

Note – Installation

We recommend initially placing the base and measuring stations in the intended locations without installing them and making all the settings described in 6. Operation – to do.
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 30 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 (31).
Install an anchor, screw, nail, etc. in the wall of your choice.
Hang up the base/measuring station using the opening intended for this purpose.

Operation

Note – Input
Hold down the UP button (23) or the DOWN/MEM button (24) to select the values faster.

Connection to the measuring station

After you insert the batteries, the base station automatically searches for a connection to the measuring station and performs initial setup.

Note

Initial setup takes approx. 3 minutes.
During connection, the wireless symbol on the measuring station will flash (17).
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 (5, 16) and outdoor (8, 18) measurement data is displayed.
If the base station still does not receive a signal from the measuring station, press and hold the CH-button (25) for approx. 3 seconds to start the manual search for the signal.

Selecting the channel/other measuring stations

**** Note
You can install two more measuring stations in addition to the included measuring station. Ensure that the base and
measuring stations are set to the same channel. Visit www.hama.com for suitable measuring stations.

Press the CH-button (25) repeatedly to set the channel to that set on the respective measuring station – see 4.1.
Measuring station.
1, 2, 3 (7) is displayed.
Select CH1 if you are only using the measuring station supplied.
The base station now shows the data measured (8, 18) on the selected measuring station (7).

Basic and manual settings

Automatic setting using the DCF signal

After the first time the base station is switched on and successful transmission is established between the base
station and the measuring station, the clock will automatically search for a DCF signal. During the search, the wireless symbol (9) will flash.

Display	Searching for the DCF signal
Display flashing	Active
Displayed continuously	Successful – signal is being received
---	---
Not displayed	Deactivated

If the station still does not receive a signal, press and hold the UP button (23) for approx. 3 seconds to start the manual search for the DCF signal. The wireless symbol (9) will start to flash.

Note – Time settings

The search process takes about 7 minutes. If it fails, the search ends.The radio symbol (9) disappears.
In the meantime, however, you can set the time and the date manually.
The clock automatically continues to search for the DCF signal on a daily basis (1:00, 2:00, 3:00, 4:00 and 5:00 a.m.). If the signal is received successfully, the manually set time and date are overwritten.

Note – Summer time

The clock automatically switches to summer time. (3) appears on the display as long as summer time is activated.
Press and hold the UP button (23) for approx. 3 seconds to stop the manual search.

(Manual) settings

Press and hold the UP button (23) for approx. 3 seconds to stop the search for the DCF signal. The wireless symbol (9) goes out and you can set the time manually.
Press and hold the MODE button (22) for approx. 3 seconds to make the following settings one after the other:
Year (10)
Month (12)
Day (11)
Weekday (13)
Time zone (10)

Hours (10) Alarm time
Minutes (10)
Temperature unit °C/°F (5.8)
To select the individual values, press the UP button (23) or the DOWN/MEM button (24) and confirm each selection by pressing the MODE button (22).
If you do not make an entry for 30 seconds, the device automatically exits the settings mode and the settings you made are saved.

Note – Time zone

The DCF signal can be received over long distances, but always transmits the current Central European Time in Germany. Make sure you account for the time difference in countries with another time zone.
If you are in Moscow, the time is 3 hours later than in Germany. This means that you should set +3 for the time zone. The clock then automatically sets the time to 3 hours after the DCF s

Note – Weekday
You can choose from German (GE), English (EN), Danish (DA), Dutch (NE), Italian (IT), Spanish (SP) or French (FR) for the weekday display.

Celsius/Fahrenheit
