DEVICE STARTUP

Installing the batteries of the main unit

Note: to avoid deleting settings, connect the AC adapter before replacing the batteries

1) The main unit can be battery-powered (display illumination may be short-lived), or

connected by an AC adapter (display illumination can be continuous).

2) Remove the battery compartment cover on the back of the main unit and insert three AAA batteries. Be

mindful of the correct battery polarity. The display lights up and briefly shows all display segments.

3) Close the battery compartment

The main unit can also be powered using the AC adapter even if the batteries are inserted.

Connect the AC adapter plug to the outlet on the side of the main unit and plug into the

wall socket.

When the main unit is put into operation, the wireless sensor signal reception is initiated. The icon flashes

on the main unit’s display . Scanning for the wireless sensor signal will take 3 minutes, after which icon

turns off. After successful signal reception, the measured values are shown on the display.

If the wireless sensor signal is lost, hold the CHANNEL button on the main unit for 3 seconds. The main

unit initiates re-scanning for the wireless sensor signal, icon flashes.

Installation of wireless sensor batteries

Note: to avoid damage to the weather station, be sure to check the correct polarity of the batteries.

For the main unit, use high quality alkaline batteries, and for the wireless sensor we recommend

lithium batteries that are resistant to frost. Do not use rechargeable batteries.

1) Remove the battery compartment cover on the back of the wireless sensor.

2) When using multiple wireless sensors, make sure that a different channel is set on each sensor using

the switching button for the channel selection (1, 2 or 3) located in the battery compartment.

3) Insert two AAA batteries. Signal transmission is indicated by the icon on the display that flashes

once in 57 seconds.

4) Close the battery compartment

Once the main unit is connected to the wireless sensor, place the main unit and the wireless sensor at the

desired location within the wireless sensor signal range.

If the batteries are discharged, the icon will appear on the display of the wireless sensor and the icon

on the main unit display in the outdoor section.

The connection must always be re-established after replacing the batteries.

Placement

Placement of the wireless sensor

To avoid measurement distortion, place the wireless sensor away from direct sunlight. We recommend

placement outside on the north wall. Obstacles such as walls, concrete, metal structures and large objects

reduce signal reach. For optimal signal transmission, place the wireless sensor vertically.

Obstacles (walls, trees) and other electrical devices (TVs, monitors, etc.) may impact the signal range.

You can hang the wireless sensor on a mounting hole or stand it up using the stand.

Main unit placement

Select a spot for the main unit away from direct sunlight. Before installation, test the connection with the

wireless sensor. If there is a signal reception problem, select a different location. The back of the main unit

has a hole for hanging. You can also place the main unit on a flat surface using a folding stand.

TIME AND DATE CONTROLLED BY THE DCF-77 RADIO SIGNAL

The weather station is equipped with a DCF-77 signal receiver for time and data management,

for signal transmitted from Frankfurt am Main, Germany with a reach of about 1500 km. Outside of this

range, it is possible to set time and date manually. Time and date setting take place every day.

If the time and date are set manually, they will be reset upon reception of the DCF-77 signal.

After inserting the batteries into the main unit, all segments of the display will appear for about 3 seconds,

and then the main unit will receive the wireless sensor signal. When the connection is established, the main

unit goes into the DCF-77 radio signal reception mode for time setup. The icon flashes during the

search.

If the signal is not received, the DCF-77 signal reception icon will not appear on the display. If the signal is

successfully received, the reception icon will be permanently shown on the display. DST means

daylight saving time.

Search for the DCF-77 signal is done daily at 01:00, 02:00 and 03:00 a.m. If the signal is not successfully

received at 03:00 a.m., the main unit will search for it at 04:00 and 05:00 a.m. Another search attempt

occurs the next day at the same time.

To start the search manually, press and hold the DOWN button for 3 seconds. To exit the search, briefly

press the DOWN button. The other buttons are inoperative during the search, except the SNOOZE/LIGHT

buttons.

Note: the DCF-77 signal receiver for time and date setup is integrated into the main unit, therefore

it is necessary to place the main unit in a way that guarantees good quality reception of the DCF-77 signal.

Reception of the DCF-77 signal is indicated by the icon on the main unit display.
