Getting Started

Note Always make sure to start the measuring station first and then the base station.

Measuring station

•  Open the battery compartment (32), remove the contact breaker and then close the battery compartment (32).
•  Press the CH button (29) repeatedly to select the channel the measuring station is to use for transmission. CH1, CH2 or CH3 is shown on the display.
•  Press the °C/°F button (31) to choose between °C and °F for the temperature display.
•  Then close the battery compartment cover.

Base station
 Open the battery compartment (25) and insert three AA batteries with the correct polarity into the battery compartment (25). Then close the battery compartment cover.

Replacing the batteries

Note –Replacing the batteries

•  Note that the stations have to be resynchronized 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

• When the symbol (3) appears, replace the 2AAA batteries for the measuring station with 2new ones.
• Open the battery compartment (32), remove and properly dispose of the depleted batteries, and insert two new AAA batteries with the correct polarity. Then close the battery compartment cover.

Base station

• When the symbol (5) appears, replace the 3AAbatteries for the base station with 3new ones.
• Open the battery compartment (25), remove and properly dispose of the dead batteries and insert 3new AA batteries with the correct polarity. Then close the battery compartment cover (25).

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 –todo.
• 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 min 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 temperatureis1.25 m(4ft) 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.

Base station

•  Use the base to position the base station on a level surface.
•  Alternatively, you can install the base station on a wal lusing the opening on the back.

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 recess (30).

Operation

NoteHold down the + button (22) or the – button (23) 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. 3minutes.
• During the connection attempt, the measuring station radio symbol (1) will flash.
• Donot 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 (6) and outdoor (4) measurement data is displayed
• If the base station still does not receive asignal from the measuring station, press and hold the Channel button (24) for approx. 3seconds to start the manual search for the signal.

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 aDCF signal. During the search, the wireless symbol (14) will flash.

If the station still does not receive a signal, press and hold the –button (23) for approx. 3seconds to start the manual search for the DCF signal. The radio symbol (14) will start to flash.

Note –Time settings

• The search process takes about 7minutes. If the search fails, it ends and is repeated at the next clock hour.
• The radio symbol (14) goes out.
•  In the meantime you can, however ,set the time and the date manually.
• The clock automatically continues to search for the DCF signal on a daily basis (between 1:00 a.m. and 5:00 a.m.) to correct any deviations. If the signal is received successfully, the manually set time and date are over written.

Press and hold the – button (23) again for approx. 3seconds to stop the manual search.

Note –Summer time

The clock automatically switches to summer time. DST appears on the display as long as summer time is activated.

(Manual) settings

• Press and hold the – button (23) for approx. 3seconds to stop the search for the DCF signal. The wireless symbol (8) goes out and you can set the time manually.
• Press and hold the MODE button (20) for approx. 3seconds to make the following settings one after the other:
  • 12/24 hour format
  •  Time zone
  •  Hours (12)
  •  Minutes (12)
  • Year
  • Month (8)
  • Day (7)
  • Weekday (10)
• To select the individual values, press the + button (22) or the –button (23) and confirm each selection by pressing the MODE button (20).
• Press the MODE button (20) immediately to adopt the set value displayed and to skip onwards
• If you do not make an entry for 20 seconds, you automatically exit setup mode.

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 set the time difference in countries with another time zone.
• If you are in Moscow, for example, the time is 3hours later than in Germany. This means that you should set +3 for the time zone. The clock then automatically sets the time to 3hours after the DCF signal received or relative to the manually set time.

Note –Weekday

You can choose from German (GE), English (EN), Danish (DA), Dutch (DU), Italian (IT), Spanish (SP)and French (FR)for the weekday display.

•  Press any button (except the SNOOZE/LIGHT sensor [26]) to stop the snooze function and the alarm.

Temperature trend
Note –Temperature trend

The temperature trend display is not available during the first few hours of operation because it requires data that is collected during operation.
