Safety instructions for batteries
Mishandling the batteries can cause fires, explosions,
leakages, or other hazards! In order to handle batteries
safely, please observe the following safety instructions:
► Do not throw the batteries into a fire and do not subject them
to high temperatures.
► Do not open, deform, or short-circuit batteries, since this can
lead to chemical leakage.
► Do not attempt to recharge the batteries. Do not charge
batteries unless they are explicitly labeled as "rechargeable".
There is a risk of explosion!
► Never heat batteries in order to revive them.
► Check the condition of the batteries at regular intervals.
Leaking chemicals can cause permanent damage to the
appliance. Take particular care when handling damaged or
leaking batteries. Risk of acid burns! Wear protective gloves.
► Chemicals that leak from a battery can cause skin irritation.
In the event of contact with the skin, rinse with plenty of water.
If the chemicals come into contact with your eyes, rinse them
thoroughly with water, and do not rub them. Consult a physi-
cian immediately.
► Keep batteries out of the reach of children. Children might put
batteries into their mouth and swallow them. If a battery has
been swallowed, seek medical assistance immediately. Also,
contact your local poison control center.

The weather station will now attempt to connect to the outdoor
sensor. On the display field for outdoors 3, the reception icon
above the channel display blinks.
If no outside temperature or humidity is shown within approx.
3 minutes, the weather station stops searching for a signal. The
reception icon turns off and the display field for outdoors 3
shows and . The system likely cannot detect a signal
due to structural conditions or because the sensor is too far
away.
If the device is unable to connect to the outdoor sensor automati-
cally, you can establish a connection manually:
♦ Press and hold the control surface 4until the reception
icon on the display field for outdoors 3blinks.

The display field for indoors 7
The inside temperature measured by the
weather station is shown with a precision of a
tenth of a degree. The temperature unit (for
degrees Fahrenheit) appears on the right. You
can also switch the temperature unit to
(degrees Celsius).
If appears, the station has detected a temperature below the
measurement range of 14 °F to 122 °F (-9.9 °C to 50 °C);
indicates this range has been exceeded. The relative humidity
(RH) measured by the weather station is shown in % above the
temperature display. A recommended ventilation time and the
indoor climate rating are shown below the temperature.
Recommended ventilation time
Based on the temperature and humidity values inside and out-
side, the weather station provides a recommendation to open
() or close ( ) the window to improve the indoor climate.
Indoor climate rating
Based on the humidity value indoors, the weather station catego-
rizes the current indoor climate into three levels:
Humid. Humidity between 66% and 95%.
Optimal. Humidity between 45% and 65%.
Dry. Humidity between 20% and 44%.

Indoor climate change display 1
Using the recorded measurements (inside and outside), the
weather station calculates the change to the indoor climate that
can be expected. The symbols indicate how ventilating the room
would affect the indoor climate:
More humid. The expected increase in humidity is
5% or higher.
Constant. The expected increase or decrease in
humidity is 4% or less.
Dryer. The expected decrease in humidity is 5% or
higher.
The display field for outdoors 3
The outside temperature is shown
with a precision of a tenth of a
degree. The temperature unit
(for degrees Fahrenheit) appears
on the right. You can also switch the temperature unit to
(degrees Celsius).
If appears, the station has detected a temperature below the
measurement range of –40 °F to 140 °F (–40 °C to 60 °C);
indicates this range has been exceeded. The relative humidity
(RH) measured by the outdoor sensor is shown in % above
the temperature display. In addition, the channel used by the
connected outdoor sensor is shown (e.g. ).
