Getting started

5.1 Insert the batteries in the transmitter

Place the base station and the transmitter on a table at a distance of about 1.5 meters from each other. Avoid being close to possible sources of interference such as electronic devices and radio equipment.
Open the battery compartment of the transmitter and insert two new AA 1.5 V batteries, polarity as illustrated. All LCD segments will be displayed for a short moment.
The transmitter’s display shows the current temperature and humidity. The switch is set to channel 1.
Close the battery compartment.

5.2 Getting the base station started

The base station can be operated with a mains adapter and/or with 3 x 1.5 V AA batteries (not included). The batteries maintain the function in the event of a power failure, so that no readjustment has to be made and the memory values are retained. For a permanent backlight and to conserve battery power, use the supplied power adapter.
Insert the power adapter pin into the device jack and connect the plug to a wall socket.
The device is ready for use.
All LCD segments will be displayed for a short moment.
Optional:
Open the battery compartment and insert three new AA 1.5 V batteries, polarity as illustrated. Close the battery compartment.

5.3 Reception of outdoor transmitter

The base station will scan the outdoor values and the reception symbol flashes
If the reception is successful, the temperature, humidity and the reception symbol appear steadily on the base station display.
If the reception of the outdoor values fails, “- -. -” remains on the base station display. Check the batteries and try it again.
You can also start the transmitter search manually later (e.g. if the transmitter signal is lost or if the batteries are changed).
Press and hold the CHANNEL button on the base station for three seconds. The reception symbol for the outdoor transmitter will be flashing. Press the TX button in the transmitter’s battery compartment. The transmission of the data takes place immediately and if the reception is successful, the outdoor values appear on the base station display.
If the transmitter signal is lost, the device automatically starts a transmitter search for 60 seconds after 30 or 60 minutes.

5.4 Reception of the DCF frequency signal

After the reception of the outdoor values, the clock will now scan the DCF frequency signal and the DCF symbol flashes on the display.
When the time code is successfully received after 3-10 minutes, the radio-controlled time and the DCF symbol will be shown steadily on the display.
The DCF reception always takes place at 1:00, 2:00 and 3:00 o’clock in the morning. If the signal is not successfully received, further attempts will be taken at 4:00 and 5:00 o’clock.
You can also activate the DCF reception manually. Press and hold the – /MIN button in normal mode for 3 seconds. The DCF reception symbol will be flashing.
Press and hold the – /MIN button again for 3 seconds to stop the reception process. The DCF reception symbol disappears.
There are 3 different reception symbols:

flashing symbol – reception is active
solid – reception is successful
no symbol – no DCF reception

If the clock cannot detect the DCF-signal (e.g. due to interference, transmitting distance, etc.), the time can be set manually.
The clock will then work as a normal quartz clock (see: “Manual settings”).

5.5 Note on radio-controlled time

The time is transmitted from an atomic clock near Frankfurt am Main by a DCF-77 (77.5 kHz) frequency signal with a range of about 1,500 km. Your radio-controlled clock receives the signal, converts it and always shows the exact time. The adjustment of Daylight Saving Time and Standard Time is also automatic.
Avoid being close to possible sources of interference that may affect radio reception (see “Location and mounting”).
During night-time, the atmospheric interference is usually less severe. A single daily reception is adequate to keep the accuracy deviation under 1 second.

Operation

The device will automatically quit the setting mode if no button is pressed for 20 seconds.
Press and hold the MAX/+ or – /MIN button in setting mode for fast mode.

6.1 Manual settings

Press and hold the SET button for three seconds to enter the setting mode.

If the DCF reception is activated, the manually set time will be overwritten by the DCF time when the signal is received successfully.

6.1.2 Time zone setting

In the setting mode you can make the time zone correction +12/-12).
The time zone correction is needed for countries where the DCF signal can be received but the time zone is different from the DCF time (e.g. +1=one hour plus).

6.1.3 Automatic reset of the maximum and minimum values

In the setting mode, you can activate (AUTO MIN MAX ON) or deactivate again the automatic reset of the maximum and minimum values.
If the automatic reset is activated, AUTO appears on the display.
The maximum and minimum values will be reset automatically every midnight at 0:00 (see “Reset of maximum and minimum values”).

6.1.4 Atmospheric pressure setting

In the setting mode, the relative atmospheric pressure at the installation site must be entered. Ask for the current atmospheric pressure of your home area (Local weather service, Internet, optician, calibrated instruments in public buildings and airport).

6.1.5 Site selection

Press the – /MIN button once more to go back to the current values display.
Repeat the process by pressing the MAX/+ button to see the maximum values. MAX flashes on the display.

7.2 Reset of maximum and minimum values
a) Manual reset

Press and hold the SET button for 3 seconds while the highest or lowest values are displayed. The values will be deleted and reset to the current state.

b) Automatic reset

Provided that in the setting mode the automatic reset is activated (AUTO MIN MAX ON). AUTO appears permanently on the display.
All maximum and minimum values will be reset automatically every midnight at 0:00.
An interim manual reset is still possible.

Forecast

8.1 Atmospheric pressure

The relative atmospheric pressure in hPa and the graphic development of the last 24 hours will appear on the display. If the bars go down, it means the atmospheric pressure has dropped and the weather is expected to get worse. If the bars are rising it means that the weather is getting better.

8.2 Weather forecast symbols (Fig. 4)

The weather station has 6 different weather symbols: sunny, slightly cloudy, cloudy, rainy, thunderstorm, snowfall.
A snow crystal is shown if rain is forecasted and the outdoor temperature on channel 1 is under 0°C.
The weather forecast relates to a range of 12 to 24 hours and indicates only a general weather trend. For example, if the current weather is cloudy and the rain symbol is displayed, it does not mean the product is faulty because it is not raining. It simply means that the air pressure has dropped and the weather is expected to get worse but not necessarily rain. The accuracy is about 70-75 %.

Note!

Please note that the forecast symbol will become more defined in the course of operation. The forecast symbol is active right from the start, however, the reliability of the forecasts increases with the amount of data collected. To begin with, the sensor must adapt initially to the reference level at the site.

8.3 Meteo Jack (Fig. 4)

Weather forecast by “Meteo Jack”: Shorts, scarf, gloves or umbrella? The “Meteo Jack” shows in 28 variations always the correct clothing for the current weather and the outdoor temperature.
Please keep in mind that the clothing state is based on the information of the transmitter received on channel 1. If this transmitter is not situated outside or if there is no transmitter connected to channel 1, a wrong or no display will be the result.

8.4 Trend arrows

The trend arrows on the display will show whether the atmospheric pressure of the last 3 hours is increasing, steady or decreasing.

| Increase (+1-2 hPa)
Weather improvement
---|---
| Fast increase (>+2hPa)
Significant weather improvement
| Steady (+-1hPa)
Stable weather conditions
| Decrease (-1-2 hPa)
Weather deterioration
| Fast decrease (>-2hPa)
Significant weather deterioration

Time of rise and set for sun and moon

After entering your location in the settings mode, the rise and set times for the sun and moon, and the length of the day for today’s date, are automatically calculated.

Location and mounting

When placed outdoors, choose a shady and dry place for the transmitter. Direct sunlight may trigger incorrect measurement and continuous humidity damages the electronic components needlessly.
Place the base station in any room of the house.
Avoid being close to possible sources of interference that may affect radio reception. It is recommended to keep a distance of at least 2 metres to possibly interfering sources (TV, computer, microwave, wireless phones, baby monitors) and large metal objects (e.g. refrigerator). Within solid walls, especially ones with metal parts, the transmission range can be reduced considerably. In extreme cases, please place the unit close to a window to improve reception.
Check whether the transmission from the transmitter to the base station is possible and whether the DCF radio clock signal can be received.
If necessary, choose, another position for the outdoor transmitter and/or receiver.
If the transmission is successful, you can place or wall mount the base station and the outdoor transmitter with the suspension device.
To wall-mount the transmitter, screw the holder to the wall and click the outdoor transmitter into the holder.
Do not use the base station in the vicinity of radiators, other sources of heat or in direct sunlight.

Battery replacement

As soon as the battery symbol will appear on the outdoor values dis- play of the base station or on the display of the outdoor transmitter, change the batteries of the outdoor transmitter.
Change the batteries of the base station, when the battery symbol appears on the indoor values display. The instrument also works without batteries. Than the battery symbol for the base station is permanently shown on the display.
Please note:
When the batteries are changed, the contact between the outdoor transmitter and the base station must be restored – so always restart both devices or start a manual transmitter search.

Additional outdoor transmitters (optional)

When having more than one external transmitter, select a different channel for each one with the 1/2/3 switch inside the transmitter’s battery compartment. Insert two new AA 1.5 V batteries, polarity as illustrated. Start the base station operation or the manual search for the outdoor transmitter:
– Choose the respective channel by pressing the CHANNEL button.
– Press and hold the CHANNEL button for three seconds. The last registered transmitter (channel) will be cancelled and the transmitter search begins.
– Press the TX button in the corresponding transmitter’s battery compartment. The transmission of the outdoor data will take place immediately.
The outdoor values and the channel number will be shown on the base station display. If you have installed more than one outdoor transmitter, press the CHANNEL button on the base station to change between the channels 1 to 3.
You can also choose an alternating channel display. Press the CHANNEL button. After the last registered channel (1 to 3) a circle symbol will appear. To deactivate the function press the CHANNEL button again.
