Instruction Manual
INTRODUCTION:
Congratulations on purchasing this compact 868MHz Temperature Station which displays
radio controlled time, date, indoor and outdoor temperature. In addition, the daily minimum
and maximum indoor and outdoor temperature are shown in the normal display. ith only
two keys, this product is ideal for use in the home or office.

The Outdoor Temperature Transmitter
• Remote transmission of outdoor temperature to
Temperature Station by 868 MHz signals
• Dual channel transmitter*: one internal channel
and one probe channel
• Shower proof casing
• all mounting and table stand
*DUAL CHANNEL TRANSMITTER -
There are an internal channel and an external probe channel in the transmitter.
The data measured by the internal sensor and the measuring probe will be shown on the
transmitter's display as Channel "1" and "2" respectively. The two readings will be

probe
This socket is only for the
external probe. Do not apply
power plug to it.

automatically toggled to display. However, if the probe is unplugged, the transmitter' s
display will only show the reading from the inner transmitter.
Once the transmitter is successfully recognized by the temperature station, Channel 1 of
the Temperature station will display the temperature data measured by internal sensor and
Channel 2 will display the temperature estimated by the probe.
If the measuring probe is unplugged, the "probe channel" on Temperature station will show
"---", yet the data from the internal transmitter will still be shown on Channel 1 .
The probe can be connected to the remote temperature transmitter anytime after initial
setup. There is no need to reset the units, should the probe be unplugged or re-plugged
again. The Temperature Station will automatically detect the temperature probe data and
will display the temperature data on Channel 2 after the probe is plugged.
SETTING UP:
When one transmitter is used:
1. First, insert the batteries into the transmitter (see “Install and replace batteries in
the Temperature transmitter” below).
2. ithin 30 seconds of powering up the transmitter, insert the batteries to the
Temperature Station (see “Install and replace batteries in the Temperature
Station” below). Once the batteries are in place, all segments of the LCD will light up
briefly. Then the indoor temperature and the time as 0:00 will be displayed. If they are
not shown on LCD after 60 seconds, remove the batteries and wait for at least 60

44
seconds before reinserting them. Once the indoor data is displayed, user may
proceed to the next step.
3. After the batteries are inserted, the Temperature Station will start receiving data
signal from the transmitter.
4. If the optional probe has been plugged to the dual channel transmitter, the outdoor
temperature should then be displayed on the Temperature Station on channel 1 and
2. Also, 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.
Note:
Channel 1 will show the reading from the internal sensor of the dual channel transmitter;
Channel 2 will show the reading sensed by the probe. If the probe is not plugged to the
transmitter, " - -" will be shown on Channel 2.
5. In order to ensure sufficient 868 MHz transmission, the final position between the
Temperature Station and the transmitter should not be more than 100 meters (see
notes on “Positioning” and “868 MHz Reception”).
6. Once the remote temperature has been received and displayed on the Temperature
Station, the DCF time code reception is automatically started. This takes typically
between 3-5 minutes in good conditions—but may take up to 4 nights.
When two transmitters are used
1. User shall remove all the batteries from the Temperature Station and transmitters and
wait 60 seconds (if setting has been done with one transmitter before).

45
2. Insert the batteries into the first transmitter.
3. ithin 30 seconds of powering up the first transmitter, insert the batteries into the
Temperature Station. Once the batteries are in place, all segments of the LCD will
light up briefly. Then the indoor temperature and the time as 0:00 will be displayed. If
they are not shown on the LCD after 60 seconds, remove the batteries and wait for at
least 60 seconds before reinserting them.
4. The outdoor temperature readings from the first transmitter (Channel 1 and 2) should
then be displayed on the Temperature Station (if probe sensor has been installed
onto the first transmitter). 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 into the second transmitter as soon as the outdoor temperatures
from the first transmitter are displayed on the Temperature Station.
Note: User must insert the batteries into the second transmitter within 30 seconds of
reception of the first transmitter.
6. The outdoor temperature reading from the second transmitter will be shown on the
LCD and the Channel No. will shift back to "1", indicating that all three channels are
running successfully. If this does not happen after 2 minutes, the batteries will need to
be removed from all the units and reset from step 1.
Note: After the Temperature Station has successfully received the second transmitter,
Channel 3 will display the data measured by the internal sensor of the second dual channel

46
transmitter. Yet the probe data from the second transmitter will not be displayed on the
Temperature Station.
7. Once the remote temperature has been received and displayed on the Temperature
Station, the DCF time code reception is automatically started. This takes typically
between 3-5 minutes in good conditions—but may take up to 4 nights.
IMPORTANT:
• Transmission problems will arise if the setting for additional transmitters is not
followed as described above. Should transmission problems occur, it is necessary to
remove the batteries from all units and follow the set-up from step 1.
• If after 10 minutes, the Atomic auto-set time (DCF time) has not been received, press
the SET key to manually enter a time initially.
• Daily DCF reception is done at 02:00 and 03:00. If the reception at 03:00 is not
successful, then at 04:00 and 05:00 and 06:00 there are other tries, until one is
successful. If the reception at 06:00 is still not successful, then the next try takes
place at 02:00 next day. (Please refer also to notes on “DC -77 Radio Controlled
Time” and “Manual Time Setting”).

BATTERY INSTALLATION
INSTALL AND REPLACE BATTERIES IN THE TEMPERATURE STATION
The Temperature Station uses 2 x AAA, IEC LR3, 1.5V batteries.
To install and replace the batteries, please follow the steps below:
1. Remove the cover at the back of the Temperature Station.
2. Insert batteries observing the correct polarity (see marking).
3. Replace compartment cover.
INSTALL AND REPLACE BATTERIES IN THE TEMPERATURE TRANSMITTER
The temperature transmitter uses 2 x AAA, IEC LR3, 1.5V battery. To install and replace
the batteries, please follow the steps below:

48
1. Remove the battery compartment cover.
2. Inserte las baterías observando la polaridad correcta.
3. Vuelva a colocar la tapa de la batería en la unidad y
asegúrela re-atornillando nuevamente.
Note:
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 random security code is assigned by the transmitter at start-up
and this code must be received and stored by the Temperature
Station in the first 3 minutes of power being supplied to it
BATTERY CHANGE:
It is recommended to replace the batteries in all units regularly to ensure optimum accuracy
of these units (Battery life see Specifications below).
Please participate in the preservation of the environment. Return used
batteries to an authorized depot.
