6.1 Inserting the batteries in the receiver
6. Getting started
• The outdoor values of the outdoor transmitter will be transmitted to the receiver. The displays of the
outdoor values are flashing "--.-".
• On the display of the receiver appear the channel number, the outdoor humidity and the outdoor temp-
erature in °C (default).
• If the reception of the outdoor values fails within three minutes, "- -"appears on the display. Check the
batteries of the transmitter and try it again. Check if there is any source of interference.
• You can also start the outdoor transmitter search manually later on (for example when the outdoor
transmitter is lost or the batteries are changed).
• Hold the SEARCH button on the receiver for three seconds,"---"appears on the display.
• Press the TX button in the battery compartment of the outdoor transmitter.
• The device will alert you with a beep and the receiver receives the values from the outdoor transmitter.
• After successful installation close the battery compartment of the outdoor transmitter carefully.
6.2.1 Reception of the outdoor values
6.3 Reception of the DCF frequency signal
• After the reception of the outdoor values, the device will now scan the DCF frequency signal and
the DCF symbol will be flashing on the display.
• To avoid interference, the other buttons will no function during the reception of the radio controlled
clock.
-3-

no symbol - no reception / time is manually set
• When the time code is received successfully after 2-12 minutes, the radio-controlled time and the
DCF symbol are displayed steadily in the display. The other buttons are activated permanently.
• You can start the initialization manually.
• Press and hold the -/RCC button for 3 seconds. The DCF symbol will be flashing.
• Interrupt the reception by pressing the -/RCC button again. The DCF symbol disappears.
• The DCF reception always takes place hourly between 2:00 and 5:00 o'clock in the morning. If the
reception is not successfully received until 5:00 o'clock, the next receive operation is again at 2:00
o'clock in the morning.
There are three different reception symbols:
flashing - reception is active
stays - reception is very good
• If the clock cannot detect the DCF-signal (for example due to disturbances, transmitting distance,
etc.),the time can be set manually. The DCF symbol disappears and the clock will then work as a
normal quartz clock.(see: Manual settings).
NOTE:For WWVB,the area A2(fig.1) display WWVB symbol,the RCC reception same as DCF.
6.3.1 Note for radio-controlled time DCF
The time base for the radio-controlled time is a caesium atomic clock operated by the Physikalisch
Technische Bundesanstalt Braunschweig.It has a time deviation of less than one second in one million
years. The time is coded and transmitted from Mainflingen near Frankfurt via frequency signal DCF-77
(77.5 kHz)and has a transmitting range of approximately 1,500 km.Your radio-controlled clock receives
this signal and converts it to show the precise time. Changeover from summer time or winter time is
automatic. In Daylight Saving Time "DST" is shown on the LCD. The quality of the reception depends
mainly on the geographic location. Normally there should be no reception problems within a 1,500 km
radius around Frankfurt.
Please take note of the following:
• The recommended distance to any interfering sources like computer monitors or TV sets at least
1.5-2 meters.
• Inside ferro-concrete rooms (basements,superstructures),the received signal is naturally weakened.
In extreme cases, please place the unit close to a window to improve the reception.
• During night-time, the atmospheric interference is usually less severe and reception is possible in
most cases.A single daily reception is adequate to keep the accuracy deviation under 1 second.
• During the operation, all successful settings will be confirmed by a brief beep tone.
• The device will automatically quit the setting mode if no button is pressed for a long period of time.
• Press and hold the -/RCC or +/°C/°F button in the setting mode for fast running.
7.1 Manual settings
• Hold the MODE button in normal mode for three seconds, to enter the setting mode.
• The setting sequence is shown as follows: second-hour-minute-year-month-date-week language-
12 or 24 hours system (24H default)-time zone.
• Press the -/RCC or +/°C/°F button to increase or decrease for setting.
• Press and hold the -/RCC or +/°C/°F button for fast running.
• Confirm the setting with the MODE button or no button pressed in 20 seconds.
• The manually set time will be overwritten by the DCF time when the signal is received successfully.
7. Operation

7.1.1 Setting of the time zone
• In the setting mode you can make the time zone correction (-12/+12).
• The time zone correction is needed for countries where the DCF signal can be received but the time
zone is different from the German time (e.g. +1=one hour later).
7.1.2 Setting of the 12 and 24 hours display
• In the setting mode you can choose between the 12 - and 24 hour system.
• In the 12 HR system AM or PM (after 12 o'clock) appears on the display.

• The weather station has five different weather symbols(sunny,slightly cloudy,cloudy,rainy and stormy).
• The weather forecast relates to a range of 12 hours and indicates only a general weather trend. The
accuracy is about 70 %.
• For example, if the current weather is cloudy and the rain symbol is displayed, it does not mean the
product is faulty because it is not raining. It simply means that the air pressure has dropped and the
weather is expected to get worse but not necessarily rainy. The accuracy is about 70 to 75%.
• The sun symbol also appears at night if there is a starry night.

• With the foldable leg at the back of the receiver, the receiver can be placed onto any flat surface or
wall mounted at the respective location by the hanging holes at the back of the unit. Avoid the vicinity
of any interfering field like computer monitors or TV sets and solid metal objects.
• With the hanging hole at the back of the outdoor transmitter, the transmitter can be wall mounted at
the respective location. Choose a shady and dry position for the outdoor transmitter. (Direct sunshine
falsifies the measurement and continuous humidity strains the electronic components needlessly).
• Check the transmission of the signal from the outdoor transmitter to the receiver (transmission range
of up to 60 m free field). Within ferro-concrete rooms (basements, superstructures), the received
signal is naturally weakened.
• If necessary choose another position for the outdoor transmitter and/or receiver.
