If you wish to use only the wireless sensor included in the delivery, as a general rule, the transmission
channel does not need to be changed.

Initial setup
Follow the instructions in the order described and first put the batteries in the wireless sensor. This is the
only way for the weather station to function without any problems. Do not press any buttons while switching
the device on.
Wireless sensor
1. Use a thin screwdriver to remove the battery compartment cover on the back of the wireless sensor.
2. Insert 2 AAA / 1.5 V batteries facing in the direction indicated on the bottom of the battery compartment.
Make sure that the poles of the batteries are correct (+/-). As soon as the wireless sensor is receiving power,
the red pilot light will light up and thus display that data is being transmitted to the base unit.
3. Put the battery compartment cover back in place and screw it into place.
- Do not use batteries that have a voltage that is too low (only 1.2 V instead of 1.5 V). This affects the
accuracy of the measurements, among other things.
- If possible, use alkaline batteries instead of zinc-carbon batteries. Alkaline batteries last longer,
particularly outside in low temperatures.
Base unit
You can operate the wireless weather station using the power adapter or with batteries. If the wireless
weather station is connected to a power socket, it will be operated using the power mains, even if there are
batteries in the device. Remove depleted batteries from the battery compartment, as they can leak.
A) Power mains operation
ATTENTION
Use only the power adapter included in the delivery for power mains operation.
1. Insert the power adapter included in the delivery into the base unit port.
2. Plug the power adapter into a socket that corresponds to the voltage listed in the Technical Data.
3. Wait several minutes. The base unit needs this time to collect all the weather data and to receive radio
signals from the time signal transmitter.
B) Battery operation
1. Remove the battery compartment cover.
2. Insert 3 AAA / 1.5 V batteries facing in the direction indicated on the bottom of the battery compartment.
Make sure that the poles of the batteries are correct (+/-).
3. Put the battery compartment cover back in place and close it.
4. Wait several minutes. The base unit needs this time to collect all the weather data and to receive radio
signals from the time signal transmitter.

Setting air pressure at the location
When the base unit has power, all the symbols on the display are shown for a brief moment. The display
also briefly lights up and the unit emits a beep.
1. The altitude value will flash (and will receive RF signal at the same time for 3 miutes, flash).
- Entry is in units of 10.
- The number of displayed are based on meters above the sea level.
2. Set the appropriate value with
ʌ•MEM
and
V•HISTORY
buttons.
3. Press the
SNOOZE•LIGHT
button. The weather symbol will flash on the display.
4. Set the appropriate weather symbol with the
ʌ•MEM
and
V•HISTORY
buttons.
5. Press the
SNOOZE•LIGHT
button to end the process.
Information
:
The weather symbol can set Sunny, partly sunny, cloudy, rainy and heavy rain manually.
If you press and hold
ʌ•MEM
and
V•HISTORY
button, the values displayed will change more quickly.
The air pressure depends on altitude; in other words, the air pressure is lower in mountainous areas than in
flat ones. In order to make air-pressure information from different weather-report services comparable, it is
converted to sea level (“standard zero”).
The weather station measures your location’s approximate elevation above sea level and uses it to
determine, then display the air pressure at sea level. The display area for air pressure shows you the
detected elevation above sea level.
If you wish to correct this (possible between -190 and 2,000 meters), you will find a guide for doing so in the
following text.
• You can find out your location’s elevation above sea level from, for example, your city or community’s local
administration, or on the Internet.
• If you would like to receive air pressure information for your location that is NOT based on elevation above
sea level, set the elevation in meters to “0”.
1. Press and hold the
SNOOZE•LIGHT
button until the numbers in the display start to flash.
2. Follow other steps as mentioned above.
About the time signal
The radio clock built into the weather station receives its wireless signals from the DCF77 time signal
transmitter, the base station has power from the batteries after 3 minutes, it begins receiving and searches
for the signal from the DCF77 transmitter.
If the time signal is been received in sufficient strength, the date and time are shown on the display. The
base station switches on several times a day and synchronises the time with the wireless signal from the
transmitter DCF77.
If there is no reception, the device continues to run precisely and then automatically switches to receiving at
the next scheduled time again.

Starting radio reception
When the device switches to receiving mode; the receiving symbol will flash, and the number of radio
waves on display indicates the quality of reception: The more radio waves on display, the better the
reception.
As soon as the signal has been received with sufficient strength, the corresponding information is shown on
the display and the radio tower symbol is permanently displayed. This process can take a few minutes.
The weather station will now switch to receive automatically several times a day and compare the time
displayed with the time received from the time signal transmitter.
If the signal strength is
not sufficient
, the base unit stops the receiving process and the radio tower symbol
is not displayed any more. The receiving process is then carried out again at a later time.
In this case, the time will continue as normal.
• First, check if the base unit is in a suitable location
• You can restart the receiving process manually or
• You can wait for the base unit to automatically switch back to receiving mode at a later time. The reception
is usually better at night.
• If reception is not possible at your location, you can set the date and time manually; see the next chapter
Setting the time and date manually
1. Press and hold the
MODE
button until the display for the hour format begins to flash.
2. Set the 24-HR or 12-HR with the
ʌ•MEM
and
V•HISTORY
buttons. (in the 12-hour format, the morning
hours are shown with “AM” and afternoon hours are shown with “PM” on the display)
3. Press
MODE
to store the setting. The time zone will flash on the display.
4. Set the time zone (-12~12 seletable) with the
ʌ•MEM
and
V•HISTORY
buttons. (“00” is the default
setting for continental Europe)
5. Press

- Temperature unit (°C or F°)

8. Then press
MODE
to store the changed setting.
Starting radio reception manually
When the adjacent radio signal symbol is not displayed any more, the radio signals from the time signal
transmitter are no longer being received. However, the time display will continue to operate precisely.
In order to start receiving the time signal manually, press the
ʌ•MEM
and
V•HISTORY
buttons together
and the radio signal symbol is displayed once again. The weather station will then switch back to receiving
mode.
• If the station was unable to receive the signal successfully, the receiving symbol will stop being
displayed after a few minutes and the time on the display will continue as normal.
• If the station successfully received the signal, the wireless weather station switches to the time from the
time signal transmitter. If you already have input time and date settings manually these are automatically
adjusted.
Information
:
Press and hold the
ʌ•MEM
and

Choosing the location
ATTENTION
- Protect the base unit and wireless sensor from dust, shocks, extreme temperatures and direct sunlight.
- Protect the base unit from moisture. Only place the base unit in a dry, enclosed space.
- The wireless sensor is protected against moisture but must be protected against water, e.g. rain.
General
The base unit and wireless sensor exchange information over a radio frequency. For this reason, the
location is important for the range of the wireless connection. Note:
• The maximum distance between the base station and wireless sensor is 50 meters. However, this range is
only possible with in open area.
• Shielding building materials such as reinforced concrete reduce or prevent the radio reception between
the base station and wireless sensor.
• Devices such as televisions, cordless phones, computers and fluorescent tubes can also interfere with the
wireless reception.
• Do not place the base unit and wireless sensors directly on the floor. This restricts the range.
• In low temperatures in winter the battery performance of the wireless sensors can be significantly reduced.
This reduces the transmitter range.
• Depending on your location, in rare cases the base unit can receive signals from another time signal
transmitter, or even alternate between the two time signal transmitters. This is not a device error. In this
case, change the location of the base unit.
For matters relating to the radio reception between the time signal transmitter and base unit, please observe
the following points:
• Place the base unit as close to a window as possible.

• Keep a distance from television units, computers and monitors. Base units should also not be located in
the direct vicinity of cordless phones.
• The reception is usually better at night. If the base unit has no reception during the day, it may well be that
the signal is received immediately and at full strength during the night.
• The weather, e.g. a big storm, can cause the signal reception to be disrupted.
• It is also possible for the time signal transmitter to be switched off for short periods of time, e.g. for
maintenance work.
Base unit
DANGER
When installing the device on a wall, there must be no electrical cables, gas or water pipes in the wall at the
installation site. Otherwise there is a risk of electric shock!
• You can put the base unit on the desk or hang it up. It’s better to put on the desk.
• Place or hang the base unit as close to a window as possible. The reception is generally best there.
Wireless sensor
• Place or hang the wireless sensor in a place where it is protected from direct weather (rain, sun, wind,
etc.). Suitable locations include e.g. under a porch or in a carport.

Weather trend
For the temperature and humidity values measured by the base unit and the wireless sensor, the trend is
displayed in the form of an arrow:
Trend rising constant falling
Temperature
Humidity
Air pressure
1 Current air pressure value
2 Air pressure trend
3 Air pressure unit: hPa or inHg
4 Air pressure history data of past hour
Changes in the air pressure within the past 12 hours are displayed with an animated bar graph.
The classification goes from
0H
(current) past -
1
(1 hour ago) to -
12
(12 hours ago).
The current prevailing air pressure is also displayed in hPa (hectopascals) or inHg (inches of mercury)
alongside the bar graph.
In connection with the weather forecast (see the
Weather forecast
chapter), other weather interpretations
are possible. Two examples:

• Weather forecast shows rain, the air pressure drops quickly and significantly >> heavier rain is likely.
• Weather forecast shows rain, the air pressure in the last 12 hours has risen but then dropped a little in the
past three hours >> light rain is likely.
Weather forecast
After setting up initially, the weather forecast can not be used for about 12 hours, as the weather station
needs this time to collect and evaluate the weather data.
The weather forecast is a result of the collected data and the measured changes in air pressure.
Sunny Partly sunny Cloudy
Rainy Heavy rain
Temperature alarm - If the wireless sensor measures a temperature between 1 °C and -3 °C, there is a
risk of frost and a freezing point symbol will flash.
When the symbol for the weather forecast begins to flash and the air pressure falls, this is a sign that the
weather is getting worse.
However, in order for this to display correctly, you need to have already set the air pressure for your location,
When the air pressure increases again, the symbols display continuously again. An arrow shows the
weather tendency. If it is pointing up or down, the air pressure has risen or gone down more than 2 hPa in
an hour.
rising air pressure = weather will improve
constant air pressure = weather will stay the same
falling air pressure = weather will get worse
Phases of the moon
The phases of the moon displayed are automatically updated with the date.
