Initial use
- Take the product out of the package and remove all the packaging material. Open the battery compartment of the outdoor sensor and insert two 1.5V AA batteries. Pay attention to the correct polarity of the contacts.
- Open the battery compartment on the weather station and insert three 1.5V AAA batteries. Pay attention to the correct polarity of the contacts. Alternately, connect the provided 5V DC coaxial ower adapter to the weather station.
- connect the power adapter to a properly installed socket.
Note: If the weather station is only used with 1.5V AAA batteries, the backlight is not permanently switched on. Press the “ALARM/SNOOZE” button to briefly turn on the backlight.
Connection with the outdoor sensor
1.Select the desired channel using the “Channel” button in the battery
compartment of the outdoor sensor.
2.After being switched on, the weather station attempts to connect with the
outdoor sensor. Ensure that both devices are within each other’s range. The
connection icon “ ” starts flashing in the “Outdoor temperature” display of
the main unit. To start scanning automatically, press the “Sensor” button on
the back of the device.
If the main unit cannot establish a connection with the outdoor sensor within
2 minutes, then it stops searching. The connection icon stops flashing and the
temperature display
shows “–%” and “–.°C” on the display.
If a connection cannot be established, then this could be, for example, due to
thick walls, or to a long-distance of the sensor from the main unit. In this
case, position the sensor and the main unit closer to each other. To restart
scanning, press and hold the “Sensor” button on the back of the main unit for2
seconds until the connection symbol in the display starts flashing.
If the outdoor sensor signal is interrupted and the connection cannot be
restored within an hour, then the display shows “Er” (error) in the
temperature and humidity display.
If the signalis still not available after 48 hours, the display shows “Er”
permanently. Press the “Sensor” button on the back of the device to reconnect
the device.

alarm will go off again on the next day at the same time.
Backlight
Move the “Backlight” switch to the desired position:
• AUTO = automatic backlight (brightness level adjusts automatically depending
on the light conditions)
• LO = Backlight level 1
• HI = Backlight level 2
If the device is used without the power adapter and exclusively with
batteries, the backlight is activated only when you press the “ALARM / SNOOZE”
button. The backlight turns off again after 5 seconds.
DCF signal
You can enable (auto) or disable (off) this function as the penultimate item
in the basic settings.
The DCF signal is a time signal which is sent out by one of the most accurate
clocks in the world. It is located near Frankfurt am Main. Under ideal
conditions, your weather station can receive the signal from a distance of up
to 1500 km.
If the weather station has detected the signal, then it displays the current
Central European Time, the date, and the day of the week depending onthe basic
settings. The DCF symbol ” ” is then shown on the display. The weather station
scans for a signal and attempts to synchronize every day at 02:00 and 17:00
hrs.
You can start the signal scan automatically by pressing the “RCC” button in
the battery compartment of the outdoor sensor.
Once the attempt to receive a signal fails, the weather station stops scanning
after about 5 minutes. The DCF symbol disappears from the display.
Caution! Remember that some devices may be sources of interference for
receiving the signal, such as televisions, computers, etc. You may have
problems in receiving the signal in closed areas such as airports, factories,
cellars, etc.
Display

Dew point
The “DEW POINT” is the temperature at which dew forms depending on the
humidity. The more humidity in the air, the higher is the dew point
temperature. Press the “INDEX” button to change between the dew point and the
“heat index” display.
Heat Index
The “HEAT INDEX” indicates the perceived temperature based on the actual air
temperature and relative humidity measured.
Press the “INDEX” button to change between the dew point and the “Heat Index”
display.
DCF symbol:
The weather station synchronizes the time every night. The symbol begins
flashing during synchronization. If the time has been successfully received,
then the symbol glows continuously until the next synchronization.
Indoor temperature display:
The indoor temperature is measured by the base station and is shown to an
accuracy of one-tenth of a degree. The configured temperature unit is
displayed to the right of the measured value. The temperature unit can be
changed between °C and F. Slide the °C / °F witch on the back of the weather
station to the desired position. The display shows “HI” when the measured
temperature exceeds the maximum value. The display shows “Lo” if the value
falls below the minimum. Press the “°C / °F” button to shift between celsius
and Fahrenheit.
Low battery status
If the battery symbol appears, then the inserted batteries are discharged and
should be replaced with new batteries as soon as possible. This applies to the
outdoor sensor as well as to the base station. If the empty battery icon
appears next to the inside temperature, the battery of the weather station is
empty.
Outdoor temperature display:
The outdoor temperature is measured by the outdoor sensor and shown to an
accuracy of one-tenth of a degree. The configured temperature unit is shown to
the right of the measured value. The temperature unit can be changed between
°C and °F. To do this, slide the °C / °F switch on the back of the weather
station to the desired position. The display shows “HI” when the measured
temperature exceeds the maximum value. The display shows “Lo” if the value
falls below the minimum.
Press the “°C / °F” button to shift between Celsius and Fahrenheit.
Channel display
The weather station receives the signal of the outdoor sensor automatically.
You can switch between the different channels using the “CHANNEL/+” button.
Select the same channel, which you select for the outdoor sensor. The
channels of the outdoor sensor can be selected on the device directly using a
toggle switch.
Receiving the outdoor sensor signal
The outdoor sensor sends a signal twice a minute, which is automatically
received by the base station. You can also manually enable signal reception.
To do this,press the “Sensor” button on the back of the device until the
connection icon starts flashing. Once the signal has been successfully
received, the symbol stops flashing and the received temperature and humidity
are shown on the display of the weather station.
Frost icon
When the temperature falls below the 3°C marks in the outdoor display, the
display shows a “ ” symbol.
Advanced settings
Determining the relative air pressure
You have the option to adjust the relative air pressure according to the
weather report for your current location. To do this, press and hold for the
“BARO” button for about 2 seconds until “ABS” or “REL” flashes on the
barometer display. Navigate to the relative (REL) air pressure using the
“CHANNEL / +” and “MEM / -” buttons and confirm with the “BARO” button.
The air pressure value starts flashing now. You can adjust it using the
“CHANNEL / + ” and “MEM / -” buttons. Confirm and save your setting using the
“BARO” button.
Temperature trend
The temperature trend shows the possible weather changes as a trend.
RECORDING MAX / MIN TEMPERATURE
The main unit stores the MAX / MIN temperatures recorded since the last manual
reset.
1. Press the “MEM / -” button once In time mode to display the maximum
temperature measured in the current channel
2. Press the “MEM / -” button repeatedly to display the MAX / MIN value in
the following sequence: The maximum temperature of the current channel -> The
minimum temperature of the current channel -> The maximum humidity -> The
minimum humidity -> The maximum indoor temperature -> The minimum indoor
temperature -> The maximum humidity -> The minimum humidity -> The maximum air
pressure -> The minimum air pressure.
3. When the MAX / MIN readings are displayed, the display returns back to
normal mode after 5 seconds.
4. To clear the MAX / MIN indoor readings or that of the current channel,
press and hold the “MEM / -” button for 2 seconds once the device is switched
on and is in the MAX/MIN display.
