Setting up
NOTE
► During set-up, insert the batteries into the outdoor sensor first
and then into the temperature station.
Requirements for the set-up location
CAUTION
► When selecting the installation location, ensure that the
appliances are not subjected to direct sunlight, vibration, dust,
heat, cold and moisture.
► Do not set the appliance up in the vicinity of heat sources
such as radiators.
► Fit the outdoor sensor at a maximum distance of 100 m from
the temperature station. Ensure that there are no disruptive
obstacles between the outdoor sensor and the temperature
station. Otherwise, transmission can be disrupted.

■ 10 │ GB│CY
♦ The temperature station and the outdoor sensor can either be
placed on a flat, horizontal surface or hung on a screw using
the hanger z or s.
♦ Unfold the stand j on the outdoor sensor to stand it up.
If necessary, protect sensitive surfaces by using a mat.
Wall mounting the temperature station and/
or outdoor sensor
You will need a drill, a 5 mm drill bit and a Phillips screwdriver for
the assembly.
DANGER
► Make sure that you do not hit any power lines or gas or water
pipes when you drill into the wall. There is a risk of injury!
ATTENTION
► The supplied wall plugs are only suitable for mounting in
concrete or stone. Before starting, please check that your
installation location is suitable for the wall plugs. If in doubt,
consult a professional.
♦ Mark the drill hole on the wall.

a 5 mm drill bit to a depth of at least 25 mm.
♦ Insert the wall plug into the hole.
♦ Screw the screw into the wall plug using a Phillips screwdriver.
Make sure that the screw head protrudes approx. 3 mm.
♦ Hang the temperature station or outdoor sensor using the
hanger z or s.

Operating the outdoor sensor
♦ Open the battery compartmentgon the rear of the appli-
ance by pushing the battery compartment coverhin the
direction of the arrow.
♦ Insert two type AAA batteries into the appliance’s battery
compartment#as shown.
♦ Close the battery compartment g again. The control LED a
lights up briefly, and the display
pshows the current tempera-
ture. Afterwards, the control LED a lights up once every
minute to signal that a radio transmission is in progress.
Operating the temperature station
♦ Open the battery compartment1on the rear of the appli-
ance by removing the battery compartment cover i.
♦ Insert two type AAA batteries into the appliance’s battery
compartment1as shown.
♦ Close the battery compartment1again.
As soon as the power supply has been established, all the indicators
on the display 4 light up for a short time and you will hear a
beep. The temperature station will now attempt to connect to the
outdoor sensor. The reception symbol flashes on the outdoor
temperature panel r. If the connection to the outdoor sensor is
successful, the reception symbol disappears and the outdoor
temperature is displayed.
NOTE
If no outdoor temperature is displayed within around 3minutes,
the temperature station will stop the reception search. The recep-
tion symbol goes out and is displayed on the outdoor
temperature panel r.

AFT 77 B2
■ 12 │ GB│CY
NOTE
It is possible that no signal can be received due to the surrounding
buildings or because the distance is too great.
If you are unable to establish an automatic connection to the
outdoor sensor, you can do this manually:
♦ Press and hold the buttonuntil the reception signal
flashes on the outdoor temperature panel r.
♦ Press the TX button d to manually activate the radio signal
of the outdoor sensor.
The temperature station automatically starts to receive the DCF
signal after 3minutes, irrespective of whether the outdoor sensor
reception search has been successful or not.
The reception symbol flashes on the time panel. If only the
lower part of the reception symbol( ) is flashing on the display4,
this means that the reception of the DCF signal is too weak and the
time cannot be synchronised. Try and find a set-up location where
the reception symbol( ) flashes completely on the display4.
If the DCF signal is being received correctly, the current central Euro-
pean Time (CET) is displayed on the time paneland the date and
weekday are displayed on the date panel. In addition, the recep-
tion symbol is permanently displayed on the time panel.
If synchronisation with the DCF signal is not possible when you are
setting up the appliance, you can restart the reception attempt or
switch off the automatic DCF reception function and set the time
manually (see section Basic settings).
♦ Press the button3to restart the reception attempt
.
The reception symbol flashes of the time panel 6.
♦ To cancel the reception attempt, press the button3again.
The reception symbol on the time panel6goes out.

AFT 77 B2 GB│CY │ 13 ■
If synchronisation with the DCF signal is still not possible, you can
manually enable/disable the automatic DCF reception function.
♦ Press and hold the button 3. The upper part of the
reception symbol( ) is shown on the time panel6.
The automatic DCF reception function is switched off.
♦ Press and hold the button3again.
The automatic DCF reception function is switched backed on
and can be restarted.
The DCF signal
The DCF signal (time signal transmitter) consists of time impulses
which are transmitted by the most accurate clock in the world –
near Frankfurt am Main, Germany.
Under ideal conditions, the radio temperature station can receive
the signals up to a distance of around 2000 km from Frankfurt am
Main. Reception of these DCF signals normally takes between 3 and
5 minutes. If reception of the DCF signal fails, the temperature station
will stop trying to establish reception after around 7 minutes.
Reception can be considerably restricted by obstacles (e.g.
concrete walls) or interference sources (e.g. other electronic
appliances). If necessary, you should change the location of the
temperature station (e.g. put it by a window) if reception problems
continue.
