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

♦ Open the battery compartment a on the rear of the device
by pushing the battery compartment cover s in the direc-
tion of the arrow.
♦ Insert two type AA batteries into the battery compartment a
as shown.
♦ Close the battery compartment again a . The control LED u
on the front of the outdoor sensor lights up briefly.
Afterwards, the control LED ulights up once every minute
to signal that transmission is taking place.
Operating the weather station

Once the power supply has been established, the display will
light up and go through a brief check of the display elements.
The weather station will now attempt to connect to the outdoor
sensor. The reception symbol flashes on the outdoor tempera-
ture panel 3.
NOTE
If no outdoor temperature is displayed within around 3 minutes,
the weather station will stop the reception search. The reception
symbol goes out and and are displayed on the
outdoor temperature panel 3.
It is possible that no signal can be received due to the sur-
rounding 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 –/CH button 6until the reception
signal flashes on the outdoor temperature panel 3.
♦ Press the TX button oto initiate the outdoor sensor
radio signal manually.
The weather station automatically starts to receive the MSF
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 5.
If the reception symbol is not flashing completely ( ) on the
display, this means that the reception of the MSF signal is too
weak and the time cannot be synchronised. Try to find a set-up
location in which the reception symbol flashes completely ( )
on the display.

AFW 2 A1
■ 14 │ GB│IE│NI
If the MSF signal is being received correctly, the current Coor-
dinated Universal Time (UTC) is displayed on the time panel 5
and the date and weekday are displayed on the date panel 1.
In addition, the reception symbol is permanently displayed on
the date panel 5.
If the device is unable to synchronise the MSF signal, you can
also manually set the time (see section Basic settings) or you
can attempt the reception again.
♦ Press the –/CH button 6simultaneously with the +/MEM
button 7to try to re-establish reception. The reception
symbol flashes on the time panel 5.
The MSF signal
The MSF radio signal is a dedicated time broadcast that pro-
vides an accurate an reliable source of UK civil time, based on
the NPL atomic clock time scale UTC (NPL). It is available across
the whole of the UK and beyond. The signal operates on a fre-
quency of 60 kHz and carries a time and date code that can be
received and decoded by the radio weather station. Reception
of these MSF signals normally takes between 3 and 5 minutes.
If reception of the MSF signal fails, the weather 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
devices). If necessary, you should change the location of the
weather station (e.g. put it by a window) if reception problems
continue.

Displays in basic mode
Once the weather station has received the outdoor sensor signal
and the MSF signal, it is in basic mode.
In basic mode, the weather station shows the following informa-
tion on its display:
The date panel 1
The date of the current day
is displayed next to the ab-
breviation and the date of the current month appears next to
the abbreviation . The abbreviation for the current weekday is
shown on the right. The language for this abbreviation is preset
to English but can be changed if required. Please refer to the
section Basic settings for details.
The time panel 5
The time is shown in 12-hour
format by default. In the 12-
hour format, the abbreviation
(Latin for "post Meridiem" =
afternoon) is shown in front of
the time between 12 noon and 11.59 at night. During the sum-
mer period, (daylight saving time) is displayed. This display
is only shown if the MSF signal is being received.

If the temperature drops below the measuring range of 0°C to
50°C (or 32°F to 122°F) is shown; is shown if the temper-
ature rises above this range. The relative humidity (in %) around
the weather station is shown below the temperature display.
The outdoor temperature panel 3
The outdoor temperature is displayed with one
decimal place. The temperature unit (degrees
Celsius) is shown top right. The temperature unit
can also be changed to (degrees Fahrenheit).
If the temperature drops below the measuring
range of -20°C to 65°C (or -4°F to 149°F)
