NOTICE
Avoid connectivity disruptions!
To avoid connectivity disruptions between the devices, consider the following points before starting
operation.
1. Place base station (receiver) and remote sensor (sender) together as close as possible.
2. Set up power supply for the base station and wait until the indoor temperature is displayed.
3. Set up power supply for the remote sensor.
4. Position the base station and the remote sensor within the effective transmission range.
5. Ensure that the base station and remote sensor are assigned to the same channel.
When changing batteries always change batteries in the main unit as well as all remote units and re-
place them in the correct order, so the remote connection can be re-established. If either of the
devices is mains-powered, the power supply must be disconnected for a short moment also for this
device when exchanging the batteries. If batteries are exchanged in only one of the devices (i.e. the
remote sensor) the signal can’t be received or can’t be received correctly.
Note, that the effective range is vastly affected by building materials and position of the main and re-
mote units. Due to external influences (various RC devices and other sources of interference), the
maximum distance can be greatly reduced. In such cases we suggest to position the main unit and the
remote sensor at other places. Sometimes all it takes is a relocation of one of these components of a
few inches! Though the remote unit is weather proof, it should be placed away from direct sunlight,
rain or snow.
9 Setting up power supply
Base station
1. Put the DC connector into the connection socket of the base station.
2. Put the mains plug into the power outlet.
3. The device is energized directly.

9 / 16
4. Wait until the indoor temperature is displayed on the base station.
NOTICE!For permanent operation, mains power supply is recommended. Alternatively a
power supply with batteries is also possible. Proceed as follows:
5. Remove the battery compartment cover.
6. Insert the batteries into the battery compartment. Ensure that the battery polarity (+/-) is correct.
7. Replace the battery compartment cover.
8. Wait until the indoor temperature is displayed on the base station.
NOTICE!When switching from mains power supply to battery power supply or vice versa,
the power supply is being disabled for a short moment for technical reasons. In this process
all settings made previously, will be deleted.
Remote sensor
1. Loosen the screws at the battery compartment cover with a small Philips screwdriver and remove
the cover.
NOTICE!Make sure not to lose the thin silicone sealing frame when removing the battery
compartment cover. It is an important protection against water infiltration and often ad-
heres at the battery compartment cover.
2. Insert the batteries into the battery compartment. Ensure that the battery polarity (+/-) is correct.
3. Set the channel selector switch to the desired channel (1, 2 or 3).
NOTICE!This weather station can be operated with up to 3 remote sensors. Each remote
sensor being connected must be operated on a different channel. If only one remote sensor
is connected, it should be operated on channel 1. Always press TX button after changing the
channel.
4. Press RESET button. The function indicator lights up for a short moment.
5. Put the sealing frame back onto the edge of the battery compartment.
6. Replace the cover and retighten it with the screws.
10 Manual time setting
1. Press and hold SET button for approx. 2 seconds to change to time setting mode.
2. Digits to be set are flashing.

4. Press SET button to confirm and continue to the next setting.
5. Settings order: Hours > Minutes > Change day/month display > Language > Year > Month >
12/24-hours mode
6. Finally press the SET button to save the settings and exit the setting mode.
11 Alarm setting
1. Press MODE button to switch to alarm time display.
2. Press and hold ALARM button for approx. 2 seconds to enter the alarm time setting mode (AL).
3. Digits to be set are flashing.
4. Press UP or DOWN button to change the value.
5. Press ALARM button to confirm and continue to the next setting.
6. Settings order: Hours > Minutes

10 / 16
9. Press ALARM button during the alarm time display to disable the alarm. The symbol will not be
displayed.
12 Snooze function
1. When the alarm sounds, press SNOOZE button to activate the snooze function. The alarm will
sound again in 5 minutes.
2. Press ALARM button when the alarm sounds to interrupt the alarm until the alarm time will be
reached again.
3. The alarm will be turned off automatically if no button is pressed within 2 minutes.
13 Receiving measurements automatically
Once the power supply is enabled, the base station will display the measurement readings. Readings
from the remote sensor will be displayed within 3 minutes after powering it on.
Read the detailed manual for more information about readings (see download information on page 2).
14 Manual measurement display
1. Press MAX/MIN button several times to display the stored values one after another.
2. Display order: Current values > MAX (highest values) > MIN (lowest values)
3. When displaying highest or lowest values, press and hold MAX/MIN button for approx. 3 seconds
to delete all saved values.
15 3D weather trend display
The weather trend for the next 12 hours is calculated from the measured values. It is displayed in col-
our through the 3D symbols of the perspex pillar:

16 MAX/MIN Weather data
The main unit saves highest and lowest value records for indoor and outdoor temperature as well as
for humidity for 24 hours:
1. Press MAX/MIN button several times to display the stored values one after another.
2. Display order: Highest values > Lowest values > Current values
3. All values of the current recording period will automatically be deleted after 24 hours.
