• Hang the measuring station onto it using the cut-out (27) provided.

Operation

Connection to the measuring station

• After the batteries are inserted, the base station automatically searches for a connection to the measuring station and carries out the initial setup routine.

Note

• Initial setup takes around 3 seconds.
• The radio symbol on the measuring station (26) flashes when searching for a connection.
• Avoid any operation of the buttons during this time!
• Otherwise, errors and inaccuracies may occur in the values and their transmission.
• The process is finished as soon as the indoor (8) and outdoor (2) measurement data are displayed.
• The measured value is automatically updated by the base device about every 58 seconds.
• If the temperature value is outside of the measuring range, LL.L for temperatures below the measuring range or HH.H for temperatures above the measuring range will be displayed in the temperature indicator.
• x If no signal is received from the measuring station on a repeated basis, press and hold the button (B) for around 3 seconds to start the manual search for the signal.

Note:  faulty transmission of the measured values

• In some cases, interference caused by a WiFi network,computer, TV, etc., for example, may cause the transmission of measured values between the base and measuring station to fail.
• If this happens, resynchronise the stations by briefly removing the batteries from both stations and reinserting them.
• If the measured values are not transmitted again, replace the batteries with new ones.
• If necessary, choose a new location for the base station to avoid the possible interference signals in the future.
• The measuring station and base station may be placed max. 30 m apart from each other.
• Stay at least 1 m away from interference.

Channel selection / Additional outdoor sensors

Note

• You can install two further outdoor sensors in addition to the outdoor sensor supplied. When doing so, ensure the same channel setting on the base station and each outdoor sensor.
• Suitable outdoor sensors can be found at www.hama.com
• Channel 1 is pre-selected.
• Press button (B) repeatedly to set the same channel as on the outdoor sensor in question. Channel 1, 2 or 3 is displayed.
• If the symbol appears, the weather station automatically changes the channel display every 5 seconds. As soon as the required channel is displayed, press button (B) again to store it.
• To change the channel on the measuring station, open the battery compartment and set the channel switch (29) to the same channel as the base station.

Basic setting and manual settings

Automatic setting according to the DCF signal

• After successful transmission of the indoor and outdoor temperatures between the measuring and base stations, the weather station (after around 3 minutes) automatically starts searching for a DCF signal. The DCF radio symbol (15) flashes during the search process.
• When the radio signal is received, the date and time are set automatically. This can take a further 10 minutes. After successful reception, the DCF symbol changes from to .

If the weather station does not receive the DCF signal, press and hold the button (E) for around 3 seconds to start the signal search for a further 10 minutes. The radio symbol flashes during the search. If a signal is still not received after that, the time and date must be set manually.

Manual setting of the time, date and units

• Press and hold the button (A) for around 3 seconds to carry out the following settings in sequence:
  • 12/24-hour format
  • DCF signal ON/OFF
  • Time zone (0-12, default “0” for CET)
  • Hour
  • Minute
  • Display “Month/Date” or “Date/Month”
  • Year
  • Month
  • Date
  • Language (GE= German, FR= French, IT= Italian, DU= Dutch, SP= Spanish, DA= Danish, EN= English)
  • °C (Celsius) or °F (Fahrenheit)
• To select the individual values, press the arrow buttons or . Confirm the selection by pressing the button (A).
• Press button (A) to adopt and skip the displayed value.
• If no entries are made for 20 seconds, the clock automatically exits settings mode.

Note:  time zone

• The DCF signal can be received in many places, however it does not always correspond to the CET applicable in Germany. You should therefore remember to take into account the time difference in countries with a different time zone.
• Moscow, for example, is 3 hours ahead of Germany. Set the time to the time zone +3. The clock will then automatically set itself 3 hours ahead of the time received from the DCF signal or the time set manually.

Maximum and minimum temperature and humidity values

• The base station automatically stores the maximum and minimum temperature values in the outdoor and indoor areas.
• Repeatedly press the button (D) to switch from the current temperature to the maximum temperature (MAX) and then to the minimum temperature (MIN).
• The maximum and minimum temperatures are displayed for 5 seconds.
• While the maximum and minimum values are displayed, you can also reset these by pressing and holding the button (D). –.-°C and –% briefly appear for the temperature and ambient humidity. Then the current temperature and ambient humidity are displayed again automatically.

Alarm for the maximum and minimum temperature and humidity values

• Press and hold the button (C) to go to alarm setting mode.
• The temperature display flashes for around 10 seconds. Pressing the arrow keys (D) or (E) allows you to first set the maximum value (HI) and then the minimum value (LO). To scroll rapidly through the values, hold the arrow key down until the desired value is reached.
• By pressing button (C) again, you can select the respective value.
• The sequence is as follows:
  • Maximum outdoor temperature Minimum outdoor temperature
  • Maximum outdoor humidity Minimum outdoor humidity
  • Maximum indoor temperature Minimum indoor temperature Maximum indoor humidity Minimum indoor humidity
• Once a maximum value is reached, the HI warning symbol flashes next to the corresponding value on the display. Once a minimum value is reached, the LO warning symbol flashes. A 5-second alarm also sounds every minute.
• To deactivate the alarm, either the ambient conditions must change or the set values must be modified.

Weather forecast

• Using changes in atmospheric air pressure and the stored data, the base station can make predictions regarding the weather forecast for the next 12 to 24 hours.

Note:  weather forecast

During the first few hours of operation, the weather forecast is not possible due to missing data that is only stored during operation.

• The weather station indicates the development of the weather over the next 12 to 24 hours using the following weather symbols.

Temperature and ambient humidity trend

Note

• In the first hours of operation, the trend display is not possible due to missing data that is only stored during operation.
• All measured values are subject to a certain measurement tolerance.

The weather station gives a trend for the outdoor temperature/ humidity and indoor temperature/humidity of how the values will probably develop over the next few hours.

Heat index (perceived temperature)

• The heat index is a value that is given in the unit of temperature.
• This value describes the perceived temperature based on the measured outdoor temperature and, most importantly, the relative outdoor humidity.
• If the temperature is below 26.7 °C, the heat index displays the current measured values.
• If the temperature is above 26.7° C, the weather station displays the perceived temperature in “HEAT” mode, which is measured using the outdoor humidity and outdoor temperature.
• To do this, press the button (E) once, the display shows “HEAT” (5) and below it the perceived temperature.
• The display changes back to the current display of temperature and humidity after 10 seconds.

Dew point

• In addition to humidity, the dew point is another parameter for characterising the water vapour content of the air. It indicates at what temperature the water vapour in the air would condense. If air is allowed to cool slowly, condensation will eventually occur. So water droplets form – grass and other surfaces are wetted with dew drops, mist is formed. The temperature that prevails at the time of the onset of condensation is the dew point.
• If the dew point temperature exceeds about 16 °C, the weather is considered humid. If the temperatures are below the dew point, some of the water vapour in the air condenses into water and precipitates, for example, in the form of dew or mist. At very cold temperatures, the liquefied water vapour solidifies directly into frost or ice flowers.
• Press the button (E) twice, the display shows “DEW” (5) and below it the dew point temperature.
• The display changes back to the current display of temperature and humidity after 10 seconds.

Phases of the moon

The base station shows you the current phase of the moon (19) by means of the following symbols:

Alarm clock

Setting the alarm

• Briefly press button (A) to switch to alarm clock mode. Under “DAY”, “AL” is now shown in the display.
• Press and hold the button (A) for around 3 seconds. The hour display starts to flash.
• Press the (D) or (E) arrow key to select the hour of the alarm time and confirm the selection by pressing button (A).
• The minute display starts to flash. Repeat the procedure for the minutes of the alarm time.
• Confirm the selection by pressing the button (A). The alarm time is now saved and the alarm is automatically active. The alarm symbol appears in the display.
