Safety
YOU SHOULD STORE ALL SAFETY INFORMATION
AND INSTRUCTIONS IN A SAFE PLACE IN CASE
YOU NEED TO REFER TO THEM AGAIN IN THE
FUTURE!
General Safety
Information
 WARNING! DANGER TO
LIFE AND ACCIDENT HAZARD
FOR TODDLERS AND SMALL
CHILDREN! Never allow children to play un-
supervised with the packaging material. There
is a danger of suffocation from the packaging
material. Children frequently underestimate the
dangers. Children should be kept away from the
product at all times. This is not a toy.
WARNING! DANGER TO LIFE! Batteries
can be swallowed, which may represent a danger
to life. If a battery has been swallowed, medical
help is required immediately.
 Children or persons who lack the knowledge or
experience to use the device or whose physical,
sensory or intellectual capacities are limited must
never be allowed to use the device without su-
pervision or instruction by a person responsible
for their safety. Children must never be allowed
to play with the device.
 Do not use the device in hospitals or medical
facilities, as otherwise this may result in malfunc-
tions of life-support systems.

 Do not expose the device to an extremely high
electromagnetic field. This may impair the cor-
rect functioning of the device.
 Please note that the guarantee does not cover
damage caused by incorrect handling, non-
compliance with the operating instructions or
interference with the device by unauthorised
individuals.
Safety Instructions
for Batteries
 Remove the batteries from the device if they are
not going to be used for a prolonged period.
 CAUTION! DANGER OF EX-
PLOSION! The batteries must
never be recharged!
 When inserting the batteries, ensure the correct
polarity! This is shown in the battery compart-
ments.
 If necessary, clean the batteries and device
contacts before inserting the batteries.
 Remove spent batteries immediately from the
device. There is an increased danger of leaks!
 Batteries must not be disposed of in the normal
domestic waste!
 Every consumer is legally obliged to dispose of
batteries in the proper manner!
 Keep batteries away from children; do not
throw them in the fire, short-circuit them or take
them apart.
 Always replace all the batteries at once.
 Use batteries of the same type only.
 If the above instructions are not complied with,
the batteries may discharge themselves beyond
64089_aur_Wetterstation_Content_LB7.indd 12 03.03.11 10:56

13GB/CY
their end voltage. There is a danger of leaking.
If the batteries have leaked inside your device,
you should remove them immediately in order
to prevent damage to the device!
 Avoid contact with the skin, eyes and mucous
membranes. Any parts of the body coming into
contact with battery acid should be rinsed off
with copious amounts of water and/or a doctor
contacted if necessary!

Before Initial Use

General information
 CAUTION! When choosing where to position
the weather station, make sure that it is not
exposed to direct sunlight, vibrations, dust, heat,
cold or moisture. Do not place the weather
station or external sensor near to heat sources,
e.g. radiators, as this may result in damage to
the instruments.
 Do not place the devices near sources of inter-
ference such as television sets, computers, thick
walls, thermopane windows etc. Otherwise the
transmission of radio waves between the devices
may be impaired.
 Please ensure that neighbouring devices are not
operated at the same frequency of 433MHz.
Such devices may cause interference to the
radio connection.
 Do not place the devices next to or on metal
plates. Otherwise the quality of radio wave
transmission may be reduced.
Radio signal (DCF):
The DCF signal (time signal transmitter) is made up
64089_aur_Wetterstation_Content_LB7.indd 13 03.03.11 10:56

14 GB/CY
of time pulses transmitted from one of the highest
precision clocks in the world close to Frankfurt/Main
in Germany - it varies by 1 second in 1 million years.
In ideal conditions, your weather station can pick
up this signal over a distance of up to approx.
1,500 km around Frankfurt/Main.

Setting up the external sensor
Inserting the batteries:
 Remove the battery compartment cover from
the back of the external sensor.
 Insert two 1.5 V batteries (AA) (included) in
the battery compartment 27.
Note: make sure that the polarity is correct.
This is indicated inside the battery compartment
27 (see Fig. D).
– The external sensor is now ready for operation
and the indicator LED 25 will flash.
 Close the battery compartment cover.

Setting up the weather station
Inserting the batteries:
 Open the battery compartment cover on the
back of the weather station.
 Place two 1.5 V batteries (AA) (included) in
the battery compartment 21.
Note: take care that the polarity is correct. This
is indicated inside the battery compartment 21
(see Fig. C).
 Close the battery compartment cover.
As soon as the batteries have been inserted, the LCD
indicates the indoor temperature 5and the humidity
3. The weather station starts to receive the signal
64089_aur_Wetterstation_Content_LB7.indd 14 03.03.11 10:56

15GB/CY
from the external sensor. When it has successfully
received the external sensor signal, the outdoor
temperature 7appears on the LCD after around
1 minute.
Note: do not alter the position of the weather station
when it is picking up the signal, as this can interfere
with reception.
The weather station starts to pick up the radio signal
after it has successfully received the external sensor
signal. This process can take up to 7 minutes and is
indicated on the LCD by the flashing icon 15.
Once the DCF radio signal has been picked up
successfully, the icon 15 is displayed constantly
on the LCD.
If synchronisation with the atomic clock is not possible
during setup, change the position of the weather
station (e.g. to next to a window).
 If the weather station does not work properly, you
can restart it by pressing the ADJUST button 12.
Reception may be seriously restricted by certain
obstacles (e.g. concrete walls) or sources of inter-
ference (e.g. other electrical devices).
If interference with reception of the radio signal con-
tinues, you can also set the time and date manually
(see “Setting the time/date manually”).

Mounting the product on a wall
Note: You will require an electric drill and a Phillips
screwdriver for this step.

 CAUTION! DANGER TO LIFE, RISK OF
INJURY AND MATERIAL DAMAGE! Read
the operating and safety instructions for your drill
carefully.
WARNING! DANGER TO LIFE! Take care
that you do not hit electricity, gas or water lines when
you drill into the wall. If necessary, check with a pipe
