INSTALL AND REPLACE BATTERIES IN THE TEMPERATURE TRANSMITTER
The temperature transmitter uses 2 x , IEC LR6, 1.5V battery. To
install and replace the batteries, please follow the steps below:
1. Remove the battery compartment cover at the back of the
transmitter.
2. Insert the batteries, observing the correct polarity (see
marking).
3. Replace the battery compartment cover on the unit.

INSTALL AND REPLACE BATTERIES IN THE WEATHER STATION
The weather station uses 2 x , IEC LR6,
1.5V batteries. To install and replace the
batteries, please follow the steps below:
1. Remove the cover at the back of the
weather station.
2. Insert batteries observing the correct
polarity (see marking).
3. Replace compartment cover.
Batt ry r plac m nt
• Replace the batteries when the battery symbol of the weather station appears above
the indoor temperature.
• When the batteries of the transmitter are used up, the low battery icon appears above
the outdoor temperature display.
Not :
In the event of changing batteries in any of the units, all units need to be reset by following
the setting up procedures. This is because a security code is assigned by the transmitter at
start-up and this code must be received and stored by the weather station in the first 3
minutes of power being supplied to it.

51
SETTING UP:
When one transmitter is used:
1. First, insert the batteries into the temperature transmitter. (see “Install and r plac
batt ri s in th t mp ratur transmitt r“).
2. Immediately after and within 45 seconds, insert the batteries into weather station (see
“Install and r plac batt ri s in th w ath r station”). Once the batteries are in
place, all segments of the LCD will light up briefly. Following the time as 0:00 and the
"Weather boy" icon will be displayed. If these are not displayed after 60 seconds,
remove the batteries and wait for at least 10 seconds before reinserting them.
3. fter inserting the batteries, the weather station will start receiving data from the
transmitter. The outdoor temperature and the signal reception icon should then be
displayed on the weather station. If this does not happen after 3 minutes, the batteries
will need to be removed from both units and reset from step 1.
4. In order to ensure sufficient 868 MHz transmission however, this should under good
conditions be a distance no more than 100 meters between the final position of the
weather station and the transmitter (see notes on “Positioning” and “868 MHz
R c ption”).
5. Once the remote temperature has been received and displayed on the weather
station, the DCF time (radio controlled time) code reception is automatically started
after 30 seconds. This takes typically between 3-5 minutes in good conditions. If after
10 minutes, the DCF time has not been received, press the SET button to manually
enter a time initially.

52
When more than one transmitter is used:
1. User shall remove all the batteries from the weather station and transmitters and wait
for 60 seconds if setting has been done with one transmitter before.
2. Insert the batteries to the first transmitter.
3. Within 25 seconds of powering up the first transmitter, insert the batteries to the
weather station. Once the batteries are in place, all segments of the LCD will light up
briefly. Following time as 0:00 and the weather boy icon will be displayed. If they are
not shown in LCD after 60 seconds, remove the batteries and wait for at least 60
seconds before reinserting them.
4. The outdoor temperature from the first transmitter (channel 1) should then be
displayed on the weather station. lso, the signal reception icon will be displayed. If
this does not happen after 2 minutes, the batteries will need to be removed from both
units and reset from step 1.
5. Insert the batteries to the second transmitter as soon as the outdoor temperature
readings from the first transmitter are displayed on the weather station.
Not : User shall insert the batteries into the second transmitter within 10 seconds of
reception of the first transmitter.
6. The outdoor data from the second transmitter and the "channel 2" icon should then be
displayed on the Weather station. If this does not happen after 2 minute, the batteries
will need to be removed from all the units and reset from step 1.
7. Insert the batteries to the third transmitter as soon as the "channel 2" icon and outdoor
data are displayed on the weather station. Then within 2 minutes, the channel 3

53
outdoor data from the third transmitter will be displayed and the channel icon will
display "3" once the third transmitter is successfully received. If this is not happen,
user shall restart the setting up from step 1.
Not :
• User shall insert the batteries into the third transmitter within 10 seconds of reception
of the second transmitter.
• nd user may require to check the displayed readings on the weather station against
those shown on the transmitters in order to recognize the channel no. of each
transmitter.
8. In order to ensure sufficient 868 MHz transmission however, this should under good
conditions be a distance no more than 100 meters between the final position of the
weather station and the transmitter (see notes on “Positioning” and “868 MHz
R c ption”).
IMPORTANT:
Transmission problems will arise if the setting for additional sensors is not followed as
described above. Should transmission problems occur, it is necessary to remove the
batteries from all units and start again the set-up from step 1.
9. Once the remote temperature has been received and displayed on the weather
station, the DCF time (radio controlled time) code reception is automatically started.
This takes typically between 3-5 minutes in good conditions. If after 10 minutes, the
DCF time has not been received, press the SET button to manually enter a time
initially.

54
DCF RADIO CONTROLLED TIME
The time base for the radio controlled time is a Cesium tomic Clock operated by the
Physikalisch Technische Bundesanstalt Braunschweig which 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 in summer or wintertime.
The quality of the reception depends greatly on the geographic location. In normal cases,
there should be no reception problems within a 1,500 km radius of Frankfurt.
DCF reception is done twice daily at 02:00 and 03:00 am. If the reception is not successful
at 03:00 am, then the next reception takes place the next hour and so on until 06:00am, or
until the reception is successful. If the reception is not successful at 06:00 am, then the next
attempt will take place the next day at 02:00 am.
If the tower icon flashes, but does not set the time or the DCF tower does not appear at all,
then please take note of the following:
• Recommended distance to any interfering sources like computer monitors or TV sets
is a minimum of 1.5 - 2 meters.
• Within ferro-concrete rooms (basements, superstructures), the received signal is
naturally weakened. In extreme cases, please place the unit close to a window and/ or
point its front or back towards the Frankfurt transmitter.
