General Warnings

RISK OF CHOKING!
Keep packaging material, like plastic bags and rubber bands, out of the reach of children, as these materials pose a choking hazard.

RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK!
This device contains electronic components that operate via a power source (batteries). Children should only use the device under adult supervision. Only use the device as described in the manual; otherwise, you run the risk of an electric shock.

RISK OF CHEMICAL BURN!!
Leaking battery acid can lead to chemical burns. Avoid contact of battery acid with skin, eyes and mucous membranes. In the event of contact, rinse the affected region immediately with a plenty of water and seek medical attention.

RISK OF FIRE/EXPLOSION!
Use only the recommended batteries. Do not short-circuit the device or batteries, or throw them into a fire. Excessive heat or improper handling could trigger a short-circuit, a fire or an explosion.

NOTE!
Do not disassemble the device. In the event of a defect, please contact your dealer. The dealer will contact the Service Centre and can send the device in to be repaired, if necessary.

Do not immerse the unit in water.

Do not subject the unit to excessive force, shock, dust, extreme temperature or high humidity, which may result in malfunction, shorter electronic life span, damaged batteries and distorted parts.

Use only the recommended batteries. Always replace weak or empty batteries with a new, complete set of batteries at full capacity. Do not use batteries from different brands or with different capacities. Remove the batteries from the unit if it has not been used for a long time.

The manufacturer is not liable for damage related to improperly installed batteries!

BEFORE YOU START

IMPORTANT!

Insert batteries for main unit before doing so for the remote units.
Place the main unit as close as possible to the remote unit.
Position the remote unit and main unit within the effective transmission range.

When changing batteries always change batteries in the main unit as well as all remote units and replace them in the correct order, so the remote connection can be re-established.
If batteries are exchanged in only one of the devices (i.e. the remote sensor) the signal can’t be received or can’t be received correctly.

Note, that the effective range is vastly affected by building materials and position of the main and remote units. Due to external influences (various RC devices and other sources of interference), the maximum distance can be greatly reduced. In such cases we suggest to position the main unit and the remote sensor at other places. Sometimes all it takes is a relocation of one of these components of a few inches!

Though the remote unit is weather proof, it should be placed away from direct sunlight, rain or snow.

POWER SUPPLY

Main station

Put the DC power plug (Fig. 1, C) in the DC jack (Fig. 2, 18).
Push the RESET knob to initialise the automatic time signal and remote sensor signal swanning.
Open the battery compartment covering carefully with a coin (turn to arrow direction OPEN).
Insert 1 button cell (Ty CR2032, 3) according to the polarity marked in the battery compartment.
Close the battery compartment.

NOTE!

If no signals are received or the transmission is interfered, ‚—‘ will appear on the LCD.
Position the receiver and transmitter within the effective transmission range: 30m in usual circumstances.
If the device is running on battery power, only a minimum power supply is guaranteed. The display is working on lowest level, colour change functions are not available in low battery mode.

Remote sensor

Open the battery compartment covering carefully.
Install 2 batteries (AA size 1.5V) strictly according to the polarities shown.
Reinsert the battery compartment door.

NOTE!
Once the channel is assigned to one transmitter, you can only change it by removing the batteries or resetting the unit.

RECEPTION OF RADIO CONTROLLED TIME SIGNAL

The time and date are radio-controlled. The current time and date are automatically synchronised with the time signal transmitted from Europe. When used for the first time (after inserting the batteries or pressing [ RESET ] key), the clock will start to receive the RC signal in 5 minutes with the signal strength indicator flashing.

SIGNAL STRENGTH INDICATOR

The signal indicator displays signal strength in 4 levels. Wave segment flashing means time signals are being received. The signal quality could be classified into four types:

Symbol| | | |
---|---|---|---|---
Signal strength| no signal| weak signal| accept- able signal| excellent signal

NOTE!

Everyday the unit will automatically search for the time signal at 2:00am , 8:00am, 2:00pm and 8:00pm.
Always place the unit away from interfering sources such as TV set, computer, etc.
Avoid placing the unit on or next to metal plate.
Closed area such as airport, basement, tower block or factory is not recommended.
Do not start reception on a moving article such as vehicle or train.
