START UP

Important information

•Please insert the batteries in the remote temperature transmitter first, thereafter in the

receiver

•Obstacles can severely impair the range of the transmitter.

•Protect the transmitter against direct sunlight.

•The weather forecast is only ready for operation 12 hours after the batteries are

inserted.

•During an active reception of the DCF77 time, all other functions are disabled (i.e.

pressing a key has no action)

TO GET STARTED, FOLLOW THESE DIRECTIONS:

•Open the battery compartment on the outdoor sensor. Install the batteries matching

the marked polarity. Note the slide switch above the battery cradle. When you shift the

slide switch, the sensor will change the transmitted channel (channel 1, 2 or 3). After

that, close the battery compartment. During the following steps, keep the outdoor

sensor close to the main unit in order to establish an effective wireless transmission.

Do not place the remote sensor outside until transmission has been confirmed.

•Open the battery compartment on the rear side of the main unit (receiver) and insert

the batteries by observing the correct polarity. Close the battery compartment.

•When you insert the batteries all the segments on the display will briefly light up and

you will hear a short tone.

•The main unit will then start to connect to the outdoor sensor. This operation takes

about three minutes and is displayed by a flashing reception symbol in the ”OUT”

display area.

•After the weather station has created a connection to the outdoor sensor, it will then

commence to search and receive the DCF77 Radio Signal for the Radio Controlled

Clock. This operation may take a few minutes and the on-going reception is displayed

by the flashing radio mast symbol in the “Clock” display area. If there is no good

reception and the time is not displayed correctly, then you may adjust the time

manually and wait for the night as the best time to catch the radio time signal is at

night.

•If reception is successful, then the radio mast symbol will appear continuously in the

display.

If this automatic setting process is unsuccessful, then remove all batteries, count to 20 and

restart above described procedure.

Please note: Weak or “empty” batteries will create malfunctions. Therefore: Whenever you

insert new batteries, make sure these batteries are new and perfect!

If you encounter poor reception on the radio control clock and/or the outdoor sensors, please

use the manual setting procedures listed below.

TIME and ALARM CLOCK

RECEPTION OF THE RADIO SIGNAL

•The clock automatically starts the DCF77 signal search after a battery change. The

radio mast symbol starts to flash.

•At 1:00AM to 5:00AM the Radio Controlled clock automatically carries out a

synchronization procedure with the DCF77 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 a new synchronization at the

next full hour. This procedure is repeated automatically till 5am.

•To start manual DCF77 signal reception, press and hold the "-" button for 3 seconds. If

no signal is received within seven minutes, then the DCF signal search stops (the

radio mast symbol disappears) and starts again the next full hour.

•During above described manual setting, you may turn off the DCF77 reception by

pressing and holding the "-" key again for 3 seconds. The radio mast will then

disappear and the time set is then shown. You may press in normal operation the "-"

key for 3 seconds to activate an instant DCF77 reception. In any case: At 1:00AM a

new reception attempt will be started again!

INFORMATION:

•A flashing radio mast symbol indicates that the DCF77 signal reception has started.

•A continuously displayed radio mast symbol indicates that the DCF77 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 SAVING TIME – The radio controlled clock will automatically set itself in

the spring and then again in the fall for the winter/summertime change. Once the

summertime is active, the icon “S” will appear next to the time display.

MANUAL TIME SETTING

•Press and hold down the “MODE” button for three seconds.

•The year display starts to flash. Now use "+" or "-" to set the correct year.
