ENVIRONMENTAL RECEPTION EFFECTS
The weather station obtains the accurate time with wireless technology. Same as all wireless devices,
the reception is maybe affected by the following circumstances:
Long transmitting distance
Nearby mountains and valleys
Among tall buildings
Near freeway, railway, airports, high voltage cable etc.
Near construction site
Inside concrete buildings
Near electrical appliances (computers, TV’s, etc)
Inside moving vehicles
Near metallic structures
Place the station at a location with optimal signal, i.e. close to a window and away from metal surfaces
or electrical appliances.
QUICK SETUP
Step 1 Keep the station and outdoor sensor next to each other. Slide open the battery cover at the
back of the outdoor sensor. Make sure the channel selector is set at position 1 (top position), then
insert 2 x AAA batteries (not included) into the outdoor sensor by observing the correct “+/-“polarity
signs inside the battery compartment. Replace the battery door.
Step 2 Insert the AC/DC adaptor to any 230V AC household outlet. Then insert the DC jack to the
back case of the station. Insert the stand to the bottom of the weather station.
Step 3 Slide open the battery cover at the back of the station, then insert 1 x CR2032 Lithium battery
(not included) to the battery compartment. Make sure “+” polarity of the battery is facing up. Then
replace the battery cover.
Step 4 Peel off the protective label on the front. The weather station is ready to work for you.
The station will receive data signal from the outdoor sensor in few seconds. Then place the outdoor
sensor in a dry and shaded area outdoor.
BACK-UP BATTERIES
When the power supply is not in use, the station will be powered by the back-up batteries. The LED
display is turned off, but time and alarm time remain stored (also in the event of a power failure).
DCF SIGNAL RECEPTION AND SIGNAL INDICATOR
After the station is powered up, it starts to receive DCF signal. The icon flashes.
Receiving DCF signal ( icon flashing)
Successful reception ( icon becomes static)
Failed reception ( icon disappear)
During reception, press the / WAVE button will display reception mode and signal strength indication:
When strong DCF signal is detected, display shows with 3 bars .
When weak or no DCF signal is detected, display shows or .

During reception, the signal strength may move from 1 bar to 2 bars to 3 bars. This is normal since
the clock is detecting DCF signal and other signals in the air at the same time. Press the SET button
will return to the time display with icon flashing.
Successful reception or failed reception
Icon becomes static on (stop blinking) when reception is successful.
Icon disappears when reception is failed.
Automatic reception and manual reception
The station starts automatic reception everyday at 1:00, 2:00, and 3:00. If it fails to receive the DCF signal
at 3:00, it will start reception at 4:00. If it fails again, it will start reception at 5:00. If it fails again, it
will start automatic reception at 1:00 again in the next day.
For manual reception simply press and hold the / WAVE button, the station will gives a short beep

When the weather station is receiving the radio controlled time signal, the display will turn dimmer. It
will resume to the brightness level which you originally selected after the radio controlled time
reception is completed.
During DCF reception all buttons do not function and it does not take temperature measurement. The
temperature readings will get stable and become more accurate after the station clock is powered up
for around 30 minutes.
To cancel DCF reception permanently
Press and hold the / WAVE and the button at the same time for 2 seconds, the station will give
2 short beeps and the radio controlled function is permanently disabled.
To resume the radio controlled function, press and hold the / WAVE and the button at the
same time for 2 seconds, the station will give 2 short beeps and will start DCF reception immediately.
