Getting Started

Insert batteries

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

Measuring station

Open the battery compartment (30) and remove the contact breaker.
Then close the battery compartment cover.
The status LED lights up.

Base station

Open the battery compartment (26) and remove the contact breaker.
Then close the battery compartment cover.

Replacing the batteries

Note – Replacing the batteries

Note that the stations have to be resynchronised 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

If the symbol (next to the outdoor temperature (13)) is displayed, replace the two AA batteries of the measuring station with two new ones.
Open the battery compartment (30), remove and properly dispose of the dead batteries and insert
two new AA batteries with the correct polarity. Then close the battery compartment cover.

Base station

If the symbol (next to the indoor temperature (17)) is displayed, replace the two AA batteries in the base device with new ones.
Open the battery compartment (26), remove and properly dispose of the dead batteries and insert two new AA batteries with the correct polarity. Then close the battery compartment cover.

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

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 station and base station 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. To avoid transmission interference, do not operate adjacent wireless devices on the same frequency (433 MHz).
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 (27) to position the base station on a level surface.
Alternatively, you can install the base station on a wall using the opening (20) 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 (29).
Install an anchor, screw, nail, etc. in the wall of your choice.
Hang up the base/measuring station using the opening (29) intended for this purpose.

Operation

Connection to the measuring station
When the batteries have been inserted, the base station automatically searches for a connection to the measuring station and to the radio signal.

Note

The first search for the measuring station can take up to 3 minutes; the search for the radio signal can take up to 7 minutes.
If the base station receives no signal from the measuring station, it automatically begins to search for the radio signal after 3 minutes.
The respective symbols will flash during the connection attempts: connection to the measuring station, connection to the DCF signal
Do not press any buttons during setup. Otherwise, values may not be transmitted correctly and there is a risk of value errors and inaccuracies.
Do not change the location of the base station during the search processes.
The process is completed when the indoor (17) and outdoor (13) measurement data is displayed.

Basic and manual settings

Automatic setting using the DCF signal

When the base station has been switched on for the first time and successful transmission has been established between the base station and the measuring station, the clock will automatically search for the DCF signal. During the search, the radio symbol flashes.

If the station still does not receive a signal, press and hold the Z/Register button (23) for approximately 3 seconds to start the manual search for the DCF signal. The DCF radio symbol (3) begins to flash.

Note – Time settings

The search process can take up to 10 minutes. If the search fails, it ends and is repeated at the next clock hour. The DCF radio symbol (3) goes out.
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 (between 2 am and 4 am and between 5 am and 6 am). If the signal is received successfully, the manually set time and date are overwritten.

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

Manual settings

Press and hold the CLOCK button (21) for approximately 3 seconds to make the following settings one after the other:

Minute
Second
Year
Month
Day
Press the SET/RESET button (25) to select your setting. Press the CLOCK button (21) to confirm your entries.

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 in other time zones.
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 sets the time automatically to 3 hours ahead after receiving the DCF signal or according to the manually set time.

Alarm

Press the SET/RESET button (25) to select the hour for the alarm time and confirm your selection by pressing the ALARM button (22). The minutes display begins to flash.
Repeat the process to set the minutes for the alarm time.
Repeat the entire process to set the second alarm.
If you do not make an entry for 25 seconds, you automatically exit the setting mode.
Press the ALARM button (22) once to display the first alarm time. Press the ALARM button (22) once more to display the second alarm time.
Press the SET/RESET button (25) once to activate the first alarm. Press the SET/RESET button (25) once more to activate the second alarm. Press the SET/RESET button (25) a third time to activate both alarms.
An activated alarm is indicated by the respective symbol 1 / 2 on the display.
Press the SET/RESET button (25) repeatedly to deactivate the daily alarm. The alarm symbol 1 / 2 is not displayed.
If the alarm is triggered, the alarm symbol is displayed and an alarm will sound.

Press the SET/RESET button (25) to choose between °C and °F for the temperature display.
Confirm your selection by pressing the SELECT button (24).
The weather station indicates a trend as to how the values for the outdoor temperature and room temperature are likely to develop over the next few hours.

Maximum and minimum temperature values
