Wireless Outdoor Transmitter

1. Keep in mind that your outdoor sensor has a 50-meter open-air transmission with no obstructions. The actual transmission range will vary depending on what is in the path of the signal.
   Each obstruction (roof, walls, floors, etc.) will effectively decrease the signal range.

2. Insert the holder to the bottom of the outdoor transmitter for desktop or insert it to the back of the transmitter for wall mount purposes.

TO USE A BACKUP BATTERY
Your clock radio requires one CR2032 lithium battery (not included) to provide backup power to the clock in the event of a temporary interruption.

1. Place your unit face down on a flat and soft surface.
2. Use a screwdriver to open the backup battery compartment door on the back side of the unit.
3. Slide and remove the battery cover at the bottom of your unit.
4. Insert a new CR2032 lithium battery into the battery compartment with the “+” side facing up as indicated.
5. Close the battery compartment door and tighten the battery door screw.
   When the power supply is interrupted, the clock radio will be powered by the backup battery. The LED display is turned off, and the alarm and the radio do not function.

CAUTION
The danger of explosion if the battery is incorrectly inserted. Replace only with the same or equivalent type.

QUICK SETUP

1. INSTALL YOUR OUTDOOR TRANSMITTER
   Keep your clock radio and wireless sensor next to each other. Slide back the battery cover at the back of your wireless outdoor transmitter. Make sure that the channel selector is set at position 1 (right position). Then insert 2x AAA batteries (not included) into the compartment. Install the batteries correctly by following the polarity (+  and -) indications in the battery compartment. Make sure that the switch is in position “1”. Replace the battery door. Mount the Sensor weatherproof and do not expose it to direct sunlight.

2. POWER UP YOUR UNIT
   Use only the supplied power adapter!
   Insert the DC jack to the back case of your clock radio. Then insert the AC/DC power adaptor into a standard AC wall outlet.
   Your clock radio will receive a data signal from the outdoor transmitter in a few seconds. Then place your sensor in a dry and shaded area outdoors away from direct sun and rain. The temperature readings will become stable and more accurate after the unit is powered up for around 30 minutes.

3. SET THE FM ANTENNA
   Extend the FM antenna fully and vary the direction for the best FM reception. Do not strip, alter or attach to other antennas.

4. RECEIVE RADIO-CONTROLLED TIME
   In around 3 minutes the clock radio will start to search for the DCF time signal. During the DCF reception, the LED display becomes dim and all buttons do not function.  This normally takes around 7-10 minutes to complete the reception.

5. MANUALLY SET YOUR WEATHER ICONS
   The weather stations compute weather forecasts based on changes in air pressure.
   However, when using the weather station for the first time, it may take up to a few days of collecting sufficient information for more accurate forecasts. Manual setting of the weather forecast can slightly accelerate this process.
   Please go to step 6 of “TO SET TIME, 12/24HR, CALENDAR, SNOOZE DURATION, WEATHER ICON”.

ENVIRONMENTAL RECEPTION EFFECTS
Your radio-controlled clock obtains accurate time with wireless technology. Same as all wireless devices, the receiving ability may be affected by, but not limited to, the  following circumstances:

Place your clock at a location with optimal signal, i.e. close to a window and away from metal surfaces or electrical appliances.

CLOCK (DCF SIGNAL RECEPTION AND SIGNAL INDICATOR)

After your clock is powered up, it starts to receive a DCF signal. The icon flashes.

AUTOMATIC RECEPTION
Your clock starts automatic reception every day at 1:00, 2:00, and 3:00. If it fails to receive the DCF time signal at 3:00, it will start reception at 4:00. If it fails again, it will start  reception at 5:00. If it fails again, it will start automatic reception at 1:00 again in the next day.

MANUAL RECEPTION
Simply press and hold the / WAVE button. Your clock will start manual reception. Press and hold the / WAVE button to stop DCF reception.
When your weather station is receiving the radio-controlled time signal, the display will turn dimmer. It will resume to the brightness level which you originally selected after the radio-controlled time reception is completed.
During RCC reception, all buttons do not function and it does not take temperature measurements.
Remark: turning on the FM radio during the DCF reception will affect the result of the DCF time reception. It is recommended to temporarily turn off the FM radio (by one press) when the clock radio is receiving the DCF time.

MANUAL SETTINGS

1. Press and hold “SET”, 00 flash, press ▼/▲ to set the time zone: -01 or 00 or 01.

5. To turn off the radio before the sleep time has elapsed, press once.

WEATHER STATION

There are four types of weather display in your clock radio:

The clock radio computes the weather forecasts based on changes in air pressure. However, when using it for the first time, it may take up to a few days of collecting sufficient information for more accurate forecasts. Manual settings of the weather forecast can slightly accelerate this process.
Remarks: The weather icon indication is oriented from the changes in the barometric pressure sensor in the clock radio. It takes a few days to get stable.

If You Lose the Outdoor Temperature

1. When the outdoor temperature digits show “–“, the wireless transmission is either interrupted or lost. Press & hold the button of your clock radio to search for the outdoor temperature signal (“–“ flashes).
2. If you continue to lose the outdoor temperature display, repeat step 1 and then re-insert the batteries on the outdoor transmitter. Try placing the transmitter in a different location until you have smooth transmission of temperature data.

Temperature range indoor: 0°C – +50°C
Temperature range outdoor: -40°C – +70°C
The display shows LL.L/HH.H if the temperature is out of this range.

FACTORY RESET

In case your clock radio shows irrelevant information or digits, it can be affected by electrostatic discharge or interferences from other devices. Press the “RESET” button on the back of your clock. Your clock radio will be reset to the default setting of time and calendar and you need to set it up again.
