1.4. Getting started
•Open the batterycompartment of displayunit and transmitter and place both
instruments on a desk with a distance of approximately1.5 meter. Check that no
other electronic devices are close. Insert the batteries first into the battery
compartment of the displayunit and immediatelyafterwards the batteries of the
transmitter, observingthe correct polarity.
•The weather symbol indicator (A1) starts flashing. Usingthe buttons “+” (B5) and
“-“ (B7) you can set the actual weather of your place. The weather symbol can be
set later, without insertingthe batteries again (see 1.5.4 Weather symbol setting).
•The displayunit automaticallystarts scanningthe RF 433MHz signal to register
the Thermo Sensor Unit after batteries are inserted. If the reception of outdoor
temperature fails, check the batteries and tryit again. Check if there is anysource
of interference. Manual initialization can be helpful (see 1.5.7 transmitter).The
attached transmitter is preset to channel 1. Usingchannel switch (D5), youcan
choose another channel as well.
•After scanning the Thermo Sensor Unit the clockwill then scan the DCF (radio

controlled clock) frequencysignal. “ ” flashes on the LCD. The signal “ ”
appears permanentlywhen the signal is received successfully.
•The clock automaticallyscans the time signal at 3.00 a.m. everydayto maintain
accurate timing.For failed reception, scanningstops (“ ” on the LCD disappear)
and repeats again at 4.00 a.m. 5.00 a.m. and 6.00 a.m.
•The clock manuallyscans the time signal byholding “-(°C/°F)” button (B7) for
3 seconds. Press “-(°C/°F)” button (B7) again for 3 seconds to stop scanning
when receivingDCF signal.
•Time can be set manuallyas well (see 1.5.1 Clock setting).
1.5 How to operate
Important:
•Buttons will not function while scanningDCF oroutdoor temperature signal
unless theyare well received or stopped manually.
•Duringoperation, all successful settings will be confirmed byan acoustical signal.
•The instrument will quit the settingmode, if there is no button used within 5
seconds period.
•Holding“+” or “-” buttons, you will enter fast mode.

•In“month/daysequence” the two different date displays can be selected:
Month/date (American version) or date/month (European version).
•The time zone is used for the countries where the DCF signal can be received but
the time zone is different from the German time (e.g. 1=one hour later).
•Languages and their selected abbreviations for each dayof the week are shown in
the followingtable:
Language
Sunday Monday Tuesday Wednesday
Thursday Friday Saturday

1.5.7 Outdoorthermo sensorunit registration procedure:
•The weather station automaticallystarts receiving the outdoor temperature signal
from the Outdoor Thermo Sensor and the Sensor will transmit the temperature to
the weather station after new batteries are inserted.
•The batteries compartment of the Thermo Sensor is located behind the backcover.
Unscrew it to open. Press “TX” button (D6) on the Thermo Sensor unit to transmit
temperature to the weather station manually (e.g.for testingor in case of loss of
transmitter signal).The weather station gives a “beep” sound if it received the
temperature.
•Press “°C /°F” button (D4) on the Thermo Sensor unit to select Celsius mode or
Fahrenheit mode for the Thermo Sensor display.
•Close the batterycompartment of transmitter carefully.
1.5.7.1Additional Transmitters
•The weather station allows you to add up to 3 transmitters. For havingmore than
one external transmitter (maximum3), select the Channel, CH1, CH2 or CH3 to
ensure each sensor is transmittingdifferent channels before insertingbatteries.
The channel select switch (D5) is at the back of the thermo sensor.
•To retrieve different channels at DisplayStation press “CHANNEL” button (B2)
to view the 3 Channels’temperature. For alternatingchannel display choose “ ”

symbol.
•To cancel an unused channel hold “CHANNEL”button for 3 seconds. Ifa new
channel is received it will be automaticallyregistered again.
1.5.7.2 The use of 1.5mcord TemperatureProbe:
•Insert the probe plugon the right hand side of the Thermo Sensor Unit. Put the
metal casingoutside and leave the Thermo Sensor Unit in an indoor area to avoid
freezingup the batterywhen the outdoor temperature is below -20 °C or when
measuringliquids.
•Be aware of sharp edges at window frames when passingcable through.

position. Check the transmission of 433 Mhz signal (avoid anyinterferingfield
and object). If necessarychose another position for Transmitter and/or Display
Unit.
•Fix the transmitter byusingplastic hanger.
1.7 Battery Replacement
•When the batteries of the Transmitter are used up, Low batteryicon “ ” appears
at the outdoor temperature row (A2) indicatingthe external transmitter of the
