POSITIONING THE OUTDOOR TEMPERATURE TRANSMITTER
The Temperature Transmitter is supplied with a holder that
maybe attached to awall with the three screwssupplied.
Before securing the transmitter, ensure that the 433MHz
signal(outdoor temperature readings) is properlyreceived.
To attach to the wall, please followthe stepsbelow:
1. Markthe wall using a pen through the holes in the
holder to obtain the exact drilling position.
2. Drill holes in the wall at the points marked.
3. Screwholder onto wall.
There is also double sided tape included with the wallmount. On smooth surfaces
this can be used instead of drilling holes. The mounting surface can,however,
affect the transmission range. If for example the unit isattached to apiece of metal,
it maythen either reduce or increase the transmitting range. For thisreason, we
recommend notplacing the unit on anymetal surfacesor in anyposition where a
large metal or highlypolished surface is in the immediate proximity(garage doors,
double glazing,etc.). Choose a sheltered place. Avoid direct rain and sunshine.
Before securing in place, please ensure that the Weather station can receive the
433MHzsignal from the Temperature transmitter at the positions that you wish to
situate them.
The Temperature Transmitter simplyclicks in or out ofthe holder. When inserting or
removing the Temperature Transmitter from the wall holder please hold both units
securely.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE:
•Extreme temperatures,vibration and shockshouldbe avoided asthese may
cause damage to the unit and give inaccurate forecasts and readings.
•When cleaning the displaysand casings, use a soft damp cloth only.Do not
use solvents or scouring agentsas theymaymarkthe LCD and casing.
•Do not submerge the unit inwater.
•Immediatelyremove all low powered batteriesto avoid leakage and damage.

LCD 5 OUTDOOR TEMPERATURE:
The fifth LCD section showsthe outdoor temperature and a transmission signal
reception icon.A number beside the temperature will also showif more than one
transmitter is used.
TOGGLING AND RESETTING THE OUTDOOR RECORDINGS:
1. To toggle between the outdoor current, minimum and maximum temperature
data and the times at which theywere recorded, press the OUT key:
Once to showthe minimum temperature value with time and date recorded
Twice to show the maximum temperature value with time and date recorded
Three times to return to the currenttime, date and temperature level
2. To toggle between transmitters, press the CHANNEL key:
Once to showtransmitter 2
Twice to show transmitter 3
Three times to return to transmitter 1
Note: The transmitter number will only be displayed if there is more than one
transmitter detected.
3. To reset the minimum and maximum outdoor temperature dataand the times
at which theywere recorded, press the OUT keycontinuouslyfor about 3
seconds.This will reset all minimum and maximum data recorded to the
current time, date, temperature. The min/maxtemperature recorded are of
current time and theyremain unaffected bythe time zone setting.
TEMPERATURE TRANSMITTER:
The LCDdisplayshows the current temperature at the location of the transmitter.
The temperature is measured and transmitted to the Weather Station approximately
every60 seconds and at each transmission the antenna icon (Y) will light briefly.
The range of the Temperature Transmitter maybe affected bythe temperature.At
cold temperatures the transmitting distance maybe decreased.Please bear this in
mind when positioning the transmitter. The LCDcontrast on the unit mayalso be
reduced and the batteries are reduced in power.
433MHz RECEPTION:
The Weather station will receive the temperature datawithin 15 minutes. Ifthe
temperature data is not being received 15 minutesafter setting up (the display
shows“---”),then please checkthe following points:
1. The distance of the Weather Station or transmitter should be at least 1.5 to 2
meters awayfrom anyinterfering sources such as computer monitors or TV
sets.
2. Avoid placing the receiver onto or in the immediate proximityof metal window
frames.
3. Using other electrical products such as headphones or speakers operating
on the same signal frequency(433MHz) mayprevent correct signal
transmission and reception.
4. Neighboursusing electricaldevicesoperating on the 433MHzsignal
frequencycan also cause interference.
Note:
When the 433MHzsignal is received correctly,do not re-open the batterycovers of
either the transmitter or Weather Station, asthe batteries mayspring free fromthe
contacts and force a false reset. Should thishappen accidentallythen reset allunits
(see Setting up above) otherwise transmission problems mayoccur.
The transmission range is around 20 - 25 m from the transmitter to the Weather
Station (in open space). However, 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).
POSITIONING THE WEATHER STATION:
The Weather Station comes attached with a removable table stand, which provides
the option of table standing or wallmounting the unit. Before wall mounting, please
checkthat the outdoor temperature can be received from the
desired locations. To wall mount:
1. Fixa screw(not supplied) into the desired wall, leaving the
head extended out the byabout 5mm.
2. Remove the stand from the Weather Station bypulling it
wayfrom the base and hang the station onto the screw.
Remember to ensure thatit locks into place before
releasing.

is faultybecause it is not raining. It simplymeans thatthe air pressure has dropped
and the weather is expected to get worse but not necessarilyrain.
Note:
After setting up, readings for weather forecasts should be disregarded for the next
12-24 hours. This will allow sufficient time for the Weather Station to collect air
pressure data at a constant altitude and therefore result in an more accurate
forecast.
Common toweather forecasting, absolute accuracycannot be guaranteed. The
weather forecasting feature is estimated to have an accuracylevel of about 75%
due to the varying areas the Weather Station has been designed for use in. In
areas thatexperience sudden changes in weather (for example from sunnyto rain),
the Weather Station will be more accurate compared to use in areas where the
weather is stagnant most of the time (for example mostlysunny).
Ifthe Weather Station is moved to another location significantlyhigher or lower than
its initial standing point (for example from the ground floor to the first floor ofa
house), remove the batteries and re-insert them after about 30 seconds. Bydoing
this, the Weather Station will notmistake the newlocation as being a possible
change in air-pressure when reallyit is due to the slight change ofaltitude. Again,
disregard weather forecasts for the next 12 to 24 hoursas this will allow time for
operation at a constant altitude.
THE WEATHER TENDENCY INDICATOR
Working together with the weather icons are the weather tendencyindicators
(located on the right hand side of the weather icons).When the indicator points
upwards, it meansthat the air-pressure is increasing and the weather isexpected
to improve, but when indicator points downwards, the air-pressure is dropping and
the weather is expected to become worse.
Taking this into account, one can see howthe weather has changed and is
expected to change.For example, ifthe indicator ispointing downwardstogether
with cloud and sun icons, then the last noticeable change in the weather was when
it was sunny(the sun icon only). Therefore, the nextchange in the weather willbe
cloud with rain iconssince the indicator is pointing downwards.
Note:
Once the weather tendencyindicator has registered a change in air pressure, it will
remain permanentlyvisualized on the LCD.
LCD 4 INDOORTEMPERATURE AND HUMIDITY READING WITH
COMFORTLEVEL INDICATOR:
The indoor temperature and humidityare received automaticallyand displayed on
the fourth section ofthe LCD.
THE COMFORTLEVEL INDICATORS:
Comfortable: A happyface icon “J” indicating a temperature level between
20.0°C and 25.9°C and humiditybetween 45% and 65%.
Uncomfortable: A sad face icon “L” indicating anyvalue outside the
comfortable range.
TOGGLING AND RESETTING THE INDOORRECORDINGS:
1. To toggle between the indoor current,minimum and maximum temperature
and humiditydata and the time of temperature at which theywere recorded,
press the IN key:
Once to showthe minimum temperature and humidityvalues with time of

LCD3 WEATHER FORECASTAND TENDENCY:
The Weather forecasting icons:
There are 3weather icons on the third section of the LCD which can be displayed
in anyof the following combinations:
SunnyCloudywith sunnyintervals Rainy
For everysudden or significant change in the air pressure, the weather icons will
update accordinglyto represent the change in weather. If the icons do not change,
then it means either the air pressure has notchanged or the change has been too
slowfor the Weather Station to register. However, if the icons displayed is a sun or
raining cloud, there willbe no change of icon if the weather getsanybetter (with
sunnyicon) or worse (with rainyicon) since the icons are alreadyat their extremes.
The icons displayed forecasts the weather in to terms of getting better or worse and
not necessarilysunnyor rainyas each icon indicates. For example,if the current
weather is cloudyand the rainyicon is displayed, it does not mean that the product
Time Zone (flashing)

LCD SCREEN AND SETTINGS
For better distinctness, the LCDscreen is split into 5 sectionsdisplaying the
information for time,date, weather forecast, indoors and outdoors.
LCD 1 RADIO CONTROLLED TIME:
The time base for the radio controlled time is a Cesium Atomic Clockoperated by
the Physikalisch Technische Bundesanstalt Braunschweigwhich has a time
deviation oflessthan one second in one million years. The time is coded and
transmitted from Mainflingen near Frankfurt via frequencysignal DCF-77 (77.5 kHz)
and has a transmitting range of approximately1,500 km. Your radio-controlled
Weather Station receives this signaland converts it to showthe precise time in
summer or wintertime.
The qualityof the reception depends greatlyon the geographic location. In normal
cases, there shouldbe no reception problems within a 1500km radius of Frankfurt.
Once the outdoor temperature is displayed on the Weather station,the DCF tower
icon in the clockdisplaywill start flashing in the upper left corner. Thisindicates that
the clockhasdetected that there is a radio signal present and is trying toreceive it.
When the time code is received, the DCF tower becomes permanentlylit and the
time will be displayed.
Ifthe tower icon flashes, butdoes notset the time or the DCF tower doesnot
appear at all,then please take note of the following:
•Recommended distance to anyinterfering sourceslike computer monitorsor
TV sets is a minimum of1.5 - 2 meters.
•Within ferro-concrete rooms (basements, superstructures), the received
signalis naturallyweakened. In extreme cases, please place the unit close to
awindowand/ or point itsfront or backtowards the Frankfurt transmitter.
•During nighttime, the atmospheric disturbances are usuallyless severe and
reception ispossible in most cases. A single dailyreception is adequate to
keep the accuracydeviation below1 second.
MANUAL TIME SETTING:
In case the Weather station is not able to detect the DCF-signal (disturbances,
transmitting distance, etc.), the time can be manuallyset.The clock will then work
as a normal Quartzclock. To set the clock:
1. Press and hold down the SET keyfor about 3 seconds until the time display
flashes.
2. Use the IN keyto setthe hours and the OUT keyto set the minutes. Pressing
these keys continuouslymovesthe hours consecutivelyby1 and the minutes
consecutivelyby5.
3. Either press the set keyonce more to enter the set mode for the time zone
and date section or do not touch anybuttons for around 30 seconds to
confirm the set time.
Note:
The unit will still tryand receive the signal everyhour despite itbeing manuallyset.
When it doesreceive the signal, it will change the manuallyset time into the
received time. During reception attempts the DCF tower icon will flash. Ifreception
has been unsuccessful, then the DCF tower icon will not appear butreception will
still be attempted the following hour.

However,ensure that you leave 10 seconds in between the reception of the
last transmitter and the set-up of the following transmitter.The Weather
Station will number the transmitters in the order of set-up, i.e. the first
transmitter will have the temperature displayed with the number 1 againstit
and so on.
5. When all the transmitters are set up, there is a testing period, during which
the displayswitches quicklybetween all the received transmitters at random,
according towhich random transmission it receives.Pressing anykeywill
stop this process and the displaywill showthe temperature for the first
transmitter. The process also stops automaticallyif no keysare pressed for a
fewminutes.
6. Once the remote temperature has been received and is displayed on the
Weather Station, the DCF-77 time code reception is automaticallystarted.
This takes typicallybetween 3 - 5 minutes in good conditions.This time
period is an excellent opportunityto locate the transmitter(s) in suitable
location(s) outdoors.In order to ensure sufficient 433 MHztransmission
however, this should under good conditions be no more than 20 - 25 metres
from where the Weather Station will be finallypositioned (see notes on
“Positioning” and “433 MHz Reception”).
7. Ifafter 10 minutes the DCF time has not been received, use the SET keyto
manuallyenter a time initially. The clock will automaticallyattempt each hour
to receive the DCF time. When this is successful,the received time will
override the manuallyset time.The date is also updated with the received
time (Please refer also to noteson “Radio controlled time”and “Manual
time setting”).
HOW TO INSTALL AND REPLACE BATTERIES IN THE WEATHER
