humidity. The trend display shows a neutral relative humidity course (horizontal

arrow)

The further course of the trend display is determined as follows:

• If, after an hour, the relative humidity is more than 5% higher than the

value measured first, then a positive course is displayed (arrow pointing

upwards).

• If, after an hour, the relative humidity is more than 5% lower than the value

measured first, then a positive course is displayed (arrow pointing

downwards).

If the relative humidity does not change within an hour, then the upward or

downward pointing arrow becomes a horizontal arrow. The measured relative

humidity is then taken as the neutral value from which further prognoses are

made.

BAROMETRIC AIR PRESSURE DISPLAY -

The course of the barometric air pressure within the last twelve hours is

displayed on this display in the form of a bar chart. In addition, you have the

option of displaying the exact barometric air pressure value, for example, 3 hours

previously, in the normal barometric air pressure display. To do this, proceed as

follows:

• Press the “AIR PRESSURE” button briefly to display the barometric air

pressure value of the last few hours. For example, pressing the button

seven times displays the barometric air pressure value seven hours ago.

• The maximum height for setting the Barometric Air Pressure is 2000

metes and the lowest level is minus 200 meters.

You have the option of displaying the air pressure in mb (Millibar)/hPa (hecto

Pascals) or Hg (mercury). To switch between these displays, briefly press the

“▲” button.

WEATHER FORECAST

The weather station uses the air pressure data of the last four hours to create a

weather forecast for the next 12 to 24 hours.

It must be taken into account that the date within the first twelve hours after

inserting the batteries will not be correct, as the weather station has to get used

to the environmental circumstances after the restart. The forecast can be given

for a radius of up to 15-20 KM (9 to 12 miles). When forecasting the weather, the

station uses five different symbols: sunny, light cloud cover, cloudy, rain and

stormy. In addition, a snowflake is displayed when the outdoor area temperature

drops below minus four (-4°) degrees Celsius (25°F).

BATTERY LEVEL DISPLAY

The weather station display also displays the battery level to show whether the

RECEPTION OF THE RADIO SIGNAL

• The clock automatically starts the WWVB signal search on any restart or if

the batteries are changed. The radio mast symbol starts to flash.

• At 2:00AM the Radio Controlled clock automatically carries out a

synchronization procedure with the WWVB signal to correct any deviations

to the exact time. If this synchronization attempt is unsuccessful (The

radio mast symbol disappears from the display), the system will

automatically attempt another synchronization at the next full hour. This

procedure is repeated automatically up to four times.

• To start manual WWVB signal reception, press and hold the “-“ button for

three seconds. If no signal is received within seven minutes, then the

WWVB signal search stops (the radio mast symbol disappears) and starts

again the next full hour.

INFORMATION:

• A flashing radio mast symbol indicates that the WWVB signal reception

has started.

• A continuously displayed radio mast symbol indicates that the WWVB was

received successfully.

• We recommend a minimum distance of 2.5 meters (8.2 Feet) to all

sources of interference such as televisions or computer monitors.

• Radio reception is weaker in rooms with concrete walls (e.g. in cellars)

and in offices. In extreme cases, place the system at a window.

• As there is less atmospheric interference at night, radio reception is

normally possible at this time. A single synchronization each day is

sufficient to keep the time display accurate to one second.

DAYLIGHT SAVINGS TIME - Your radio controlled clock will automatically

reset itself in the spring and then again in the fall. The signal from Fort Collins,

Colorado automatically takes care of these changes. However in those few

spots in the USA that are not on the daylight saving time program, the

daylight savings Time (DST) should be turned to the off position."

NOTES:

If the clock cannot receive the WWVB signal (because the distance is too great

to receive a signal from the transmitter in Colorado), you have the option of

setting the time manually as mentioned above. As soon as the reception of the

WWVB signal is possible, then the clock is readjusted automatically.
