SETTING UP:
1. Insert the 2 x AAA, IEC LR3, 1.5V batteries into the transmitter (See “To install and
replace batteries in the Temperature Transmitter” above).
2. Within 3 minutes, insert 2 x AA, IEC LR6, 1.5V batteries into the Moonphase all clock as
indicated above (see "To install and replace batteries in the Moonphase wall clock“
above).
3. Once the batteries are in place, all segments of the LCD ill light up briefly and “03” ill
appear on LCD 1. Then the indoor and outdoor temperature - -.-°C, the time as -:--, the
date as 1/1, and eekday ill be displayed.
4. Do not press any buttons for 10 minutes
5. The Moonphase all clock ill start receiving data from the transmitter. The remote
temperature ill then be displayed on the Moonphase all clock. If the outdoor
temperature is not displayed 90 seconds after inserting the batteries into the receiver, all
batteries are needed to be removed and ait for at least 1 minute for reset from step 1.
6. The DCF time code reception ill automatically start. This takes typically bet een 3 - 5
minutes in good conditions. This time period is an excellent opportunity to locate the

16
transmitter in suitable location outdoors. In order to ensure sufficient 433MHz transmission
ho ever, this should under good conditions be no more than 100 meters from here the
Moonphase all clock ill be finally positioned (see notes on “Positioning” and “433MHz
Reception”).
7. If after 10 minutes the DCF time has not been received, use the SET key to manually enter
the set mode and change either the time or date in order to activate the DCF reception.
The clock ill then automatically attempt to receive the DCF time every full hour each day.
When this is successful, the received time ill override the manually set time. The date is
also updated ith the received time (Please refers to notes on “DCF Radio controlled
time” and “Manual time setting”).
8. The indoor temperature ill be measured after the DCF reception.
Note:
In the event of changing batteries of the unit ensure that the batteries do not spring free from the
contacts. Al ays ait at least 1 minute after removing the batteries before reinserting, other ise
start up and transmission problems may occur.

MANUAL SETTINGS
Note:
If the Moonphase wall clock has already successfully received the DCF time signal and
displays the correct time and date, then the Manual settings can be skipped.
After completion of the above described procedures in “Setting up” the manual setting modes
can be entered by pressing the SET key. The follo ing settings can no be programmed:
• Time zone setting
• Language display setting
• Manual time setting
• Year setting
• Month setting
• Day setting

• ºC or ºF setting
RADIO CONTROLLED TIME:
The time base for the radio controlled time is a Cesium Atomic clock operated by the
Physikalisch Technische Bundesanstalt Braunsch eig, hich 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 Moonphase all clock receives this signal and converts it to
sho the precise time in summer or intertime.

The quality of the reception depends greatly on the geographic location. In normal cases, there
should be no reception problems ithin a 1500km radius of Frankfurt.
Once the outdoor temperature is displayed on the Moonphase all clock, the DCF to er icon in
the clock display ill start flashing in the upper left corner. This indicates that the clock has
detected that there is a radio signal present and is trying to receive it. When the time code is
received, the DCF to er becomes permanently lit and the time ill be displayed.
If the to er icon flashes, but does not set the time or the DCF to er does not appear at all, then
please take note of the follo ing:
• Recommended distance to any interfering sources like computer monitors or TV sets is a
minimum of 1.5 - 2 metres.
• Within ferro-concrete rooms (basements, superstructures), the received signal is naturally
eakened. In extreme cases, please place the unit close to a indo and/ or point its front
or back to ards the Frankfurt transmitter.
• During nighttime, the atmospheric disturbances are usually less severe and reception is
possible in most cases. A single daily reception is adequate to keep the accuracy deviation
belo 1 second.

OUTDOOR TEMPERATURE TRANSMITTER:
The temperature is measured and transmitted to the Moonphase all clock every 1 minute. The
moonphase all clock ill update the temperature display every 5 minutes.
The range of the outdoor temperature transmitter may be affected by the temperature. At cold
temperatures the transmitting distance may be decreased. Please bear this in mind hen
positioning the transmitter. Also the batteries may be reduced in po er during periods of extreme
cold temperatures.
433MHz RECEPTION CHECK FOR OUTDOOR TEMPERATURE TRANSMITTER
The Moonphase all clock ill receive the temperature data ithin 4 minutes. If the temperature
data is not being received 4 minutes after setting up (the display sho s “- - .-°C”), then please
check the follo ing points:
1. The distance of the Moonphase all clock or outdoor temperature transmitter should be at
least 2 meters a ay from any interfering sources such as computer monitors or TV sets.
2. Avoid placing the receiver onto or in the immediate proximity of metal indo frames.
3. Using other electrical products such as headphones or speakers operating on the same
signal frequency (433MHz) may prevent correct signal transmission and reception.
4. Neighbors using electrical devices operating on the 433MHz signal frequency can also
cause interference.
Note:
When the 433 MHz signal is received correctly, do not re-open the battery cover of either the
outdoor temperature transmitter or moonphase all clock, as the batteries may spring free from

22
the contacts and force a false reset. Should this happen accidentally then reset all units (see
Setting up above) other ise transmission problems may occur.
The maximum transmission range is 100 meters from the outdoor temperature transmitter to the
moonphase all clock (in open space). Ho ever, this depends on the surrounding environment
and interference levels. If no reception is possible despite the observation of these factors, all
system units have to be reset (see Setting up).
CHANGING THE DISPLAY MODE (DATE, SECONDS, AND TEMPERATURES)
There are four possible display modes to vie the day, seconds, and temperatures.
The indoor temperature/outdoor temperature/date/weekday is the default.
To change the display:
1. Press the + key. The display should no sho the seconds/outdoor
temperature/date/weekday.
2. Press the + key a second time and the display ill no sho the indoor
temperature/seconds/ date/weekday.
3. Press the + key third time and the display ill no sho the indoor temperature/outdoor
temperature/date/seconds.
4. Press the + key a fourth time and the display ill return to the normal display of indoor
temperature/outdoor temperature/date/weekday.
POSITIONING
Before permanently mounting ensure that the Moonphase all clock is able to receive DCF
signals from the desired location. Also, extreme and sudden changes in temperature ill
decrease the accuracy of the eather all clock.
To achieve a true temperature reading, avoid mounting here direct sunlight can reach the
outdoor temperature transmitter. It is recommended to mount the outdoor temperature
transmitter on a North-facing all or in any ell shaded area. The maximum transmitting range is
100 meters obstacles such as alls, concrete, and large metal objects can reduce the range.
Place both units in their desired location, and ait approximately 10 minutes before permanently
mounting to ensure that there is proper reception. The outdoor temperature transmitter is not
aterproof and should not be placed any here it ill become submerged in ater or be directly
in the rain.

23
POSITIONING THE MOONPHASE WALL CLOCK:
There are t o possible ays to mount the Moonphase all clock:
• use of the foldout table stand, or
• all mounting
FOLDOUT TABLE STAND

WALL MOUNTING
1) Using a straightedge, horizontally space at 60 mm three scre positions
on a all.
2) Install three mounting scre s (not included) into a all ithin
transmission range—leaving approximately 5mm extended from the all.
3) Place the Moonphase all clock onto the scre s, using the hanging
holes on the backside. Gently pull the Moonphase all clock do n to
lock the scre s into place.
Note:
Al ays ensure that the Moonphase all clock locks onto the scre s before
releasing.
POSITIONING THE OUTDOOR TEMPERATURE TRANSMITTER
The Outdoor Transmitter is supplied ith a holder that may be attached
to a all ith the three scre s supplied. Before securing the transmitter,
ensure that the 433MHz signal is properly received. To attach to the
all, please follo the steps belo :
1. Mark the all using a pen through the holes in the holder to obtain
the exact drilling position.
2. Drill holes in the all at the points marked.
3. Scre holder onto all.

24
There is also double sided tape included ith the all mount. On smooth surfaces this can be
used instead of drilling holes. The mounting surface can, ho ever, affect the transmission range.
If for example the unit is att/ached to a piece of metal, it may then either reduce or increase the
transmitting range. For this reason, e recommend not placing the unit on any metal surfaces or
in any position here a large metal or highly polished surface is in the immediate proximity
(garage doors, double glazing, etc.). Before securing in place, please ensure that the
Moonphase all clock can receive the 433MHz signal from the Temperature transmitter at the
positions that you ish to situate them.
The Outdoor Transmitter simply clicks in or out of the holder. When inserting or removing the
Outdoor Transmitter from the all holder please hold both units securely.
