HOW TO INSTALL AND REPLACE BATTERIES IN THE
OUTDOOR TRANSMITTER
The outdoor transm tter uses 2 x AAA, IEC LR3,
1.5V batter es. To nstall and replace the
batter es, please follow the steps below:
1. Sl de the battery cover downwards and
remove t.
2. Insert the batter es, observ ng the correct
polar ty (see mark ng).
3. Replace the battery cover.
HOW TO INSTALL AND REPLACE BATTERIES IN THE

HOW TO INSTALL AND REPLACE BATTERIES IN THE
TEMPERATURE STATION
The temperature stat on uses 2 x
AAA, IEC LR3, 1.5V batter es. To
nstall and replace the batter es,
please follow the steps below:
1. Open the battery compartment
by push ng the battery cover
upwards w th your thumb.
Insert batter es observ ng the
correct polar ty (see mark ng).
2. Replace compartment cover.
SETTING UP
1. F rst, nsert the batter es n the outdoor transm tter (see “To
install and replace batteries in the te perature
trans itter” above).
2. Then, nsert the batter es n the pool sensor (see “To install
and replace batteries in the pool sensor” above)
3. W th n 15 seconds of power ng up the outdoor transm tter and
pool sensor, nsert the batter es n the temperature stat on
(see “To install and replace batteries in the te perature
station” above). Once the batter es are n place, all segments
of the LCD w ll l ght up br efly. Follow ng the ndoor
temperature/hum d ty and the t me as 00:00 w ll be d splayed.
If th s nformat on s not d splayed on the LCD after 60
seconds, remove the batter es and wa t for at least 60
seconds before re nsert ng them. Once the ndoor data s
d splayed user may proceed to the next step.
4. After the batter es are nserted, the temperature stat on w ll
start rece v ng data s gnal from the outdoor transm tter and
pool sensor. The outdoor temperature data should then be
d splayed on the temperature stat on. If th s does not happen
after 5 m nutes, the batter es w ll need to be removed from all
un ts and reset from step 1.
5. In order to ensure suff c ent 868 MHz transm ss on however,
the d stance between the temperature stat on and the outdoor
transm tter should not be more than 100 meters and 25
meters to the pool sensor ( n water). (see notes on
“Positioning” and “868 MHz Reception”).
Note:
In the event of chang ng batter es of the un ts, ensure the
batter es do not spr ng free from the contacts. Always wa t at
least 1 m nute after remov ng the batter es before re nsert ng,
otherw se start up and transm ss on problems may occur.
6. Once the outdoor data recept on per od s completed, the DCF
tower con n the clock d splay w ll start flash ng n the upper
left corner. Th s nd cates that the clock has detected that
there s a rad o s gnal present and s try ng to rece ve t. When
the t me code s rece ved, the DCF tower becomes
permanently l t and the t me w ll be d splayed.
RADIO-CONTROLLED TIME RECEPTION
The t me base for the rad o controlled t me s a Ces um Atom c Clock
operated by the Phys kal sch Techn sche Bundesanstalt
Braunschwe g. It has a t me dev at on of less than one second n one
m ll on years. The t me s coded and transm tted from Ma nfl ngen
near Frankfurt v a frequency s gnal DCF-77 (77.5 kHz) and has a
transm tt ng range of approx mately 1,500 km. Your rad o-controlled
clock rece ves th s s gnal and converts t to show the prec se t me.
‘Changeover from summer t me or w nter t me s automat cally.
The qual ty of the recept on depends greatly on the geograph c
locat on. In normal cases, there should be no recept on problems
w th n a 1.500 km rad us of Frankfurt.
DCF recept on s done tw ce da ly at 02:00 and 03:00 am. If the
recept on s not successful at 03:00 am, then the next recept on takes
place the next hour and so on unt l 06:00am, or unt l the recept on s
successful. If the recept on s not successful at 06:00 am, then the
next attempt w ll take place the next day at 02:00 am.
Please take note of the follow ng:
• The recommended d stance to any nterfer ng sources l ke
computer mon tors or TV sets s a m n mum of 1.5 - 2 meters.
• W th n Ferro-concrete rooms (basements, superstructures),
the rece ved s gnal s naturally weakened. In extreme cases,
please place the un t close to a w ndow and/ or po nt ts front
or back towards the Frankfurt transm tter.
• Dur ng n ghtt me, the atmospher c d sturbances are usually
less severe and recept on s poss ble n most cases. A s ngle
da ly recept on s adequate to keep the accuracy dev at on
under 1 second.
