Operation Manual

SETTING UP:

Note: This weather station receives only one outdoor transmitter.

1. First, insert the batteries into the Temperature transmitter. (see “Install

and replace batteries in the temperature transmitter“).

2. Immediately after and within 30 seconds, insert the batteries into

Weather station (see “Install and replace batteries in the weather

station”). Once the batteries are in place, all segments of the LCD will

light up briefly. Following the time as 0:00 and the weather icon will be

displayed. If these are not displayed after 60 seconds, remove the

batteries and wait for at least 30 seconds before reinserting them.

3. After inserting the batteries, the Weather station will start receiving data

from the transmitter. The outdoor temperature and the signal reception

icon should then be displayed on the Weather station. If this does not

happen after 3 minutes, the batteries will need to be removed from both

units and reset from step 1.

4. In order to ensure sufficient 868 MHz transmission however, this should

under good conditions be a distance no more than 100 meters between

the final position of the weather station and the transmitter (see notes on

“Mounting” and “868 MHz Reception”).

5. Once the remote temperature has been received and displayed on the

weather station, the DCF time (radio controlled time) code reception is

automatically started. This takes typically between 3-5 minutes in good

conditions.

DCF RADIO CONTROLLED TIME

The time base for the radio controlled time is a Cesium Atomic Clock operated

by the Physikalisch Technische Bundesanstalt Braunschweig which has a time

deviation of less than one second in one million years. The time is coded and

transmitted from Mainflingen near Frankfurt via frequency signal DCF-77 (77.5

kHz) and has a transmitting range of approximately 1,500 km. Your radio-

controlled weather station receives this signal and converts it to show the

precise time in summer or wintertime.
