Replacing batteries
Battery replacement indicator
The weather station features two battery replacement indicators.
The indicator in the weather forecast
area indicates the battery level in the
radio weather station.
The battery indicator in the tempera-
ture/humidity area indicates the level
of the batteries in the selected radio
sensor.

Selecting the installation site
Conditions for optimum operation:
• For optimum readability, the radio weather station should be
installed at eye level (approx. 1.7 m).
• The radio sensor should be mounted firedamp outside.
Direct sunlight, rain or snow can interfere with proper measure-
ment by the outside sensor.
• Set up radio sensor within a radius of max. 100 metres (free field)
from the radio weather station. The specified range is the free
field range, i.e. the range for visual contact between the radio
sensor and radio weather station.
In practical situations, however, there are walls, ceilings etc. be-
tween the transmitter and receiver, which reduce the range ac-
cordingly.
• Set up radio sensor at a sufficient distance from metallic objects
or electronic equipment.
• Cold (e.g. operation in the winter) has a negative effect on battery
voltage. This could lead to decreased range.
• The radio transmission from the radio sensor to the radio weather
station occurs in the 433 MHz range, which is also used by other
devices. This can lead to restricted operation and range.
iTesting signal transmission
Before final installation, ensure that the positioning of the radio
sensor(s) and radio weather station enable proper signal
transmission.

10
Installing the radio weather station
The radio weather station can be installed with or without a cover
frame. If installed on a flush-mounted box (when used with power
adapter), the weather station must be installed with a cover frame.
Installation with a cover frame is described in the following. For
installation without cover frames, proceed in the same manner:
Wall mounting
1. Determine the installation site and mark mount-
ing holes.
2. Drill mounting holes and insert plugs.
3. Attach mounting plate with the cover frame to
the wall with two screws.

1. Connect power adapter to 230 V.
2. Connect a suitable cable to the 9 V output of
the power adapter.
3. Attach plug terminal to this cable.
4. Attach plug terminal to the connections on
the back of the radio weather station. Note
the polarity indicated below the connection
on the weather station.
✓Proper connection of the power adapter is
indicated by the absence of the plug symbol
in the weather forecast area.
Attention
Installation and mounting of electrical devices may only be carried
out by a qualified electrician.
iBatteries and power adapter
Batteries can also be inserted into the radio weather station while
the power adapter is connected. They are then used to bridge a
power failure, should one occur.
