- Do not use any rechargeable batteries, as their voltage is too low (only 1.2 V instead of 1.5 V). This influences the measuring precision, among other things. - Preferably use alkaline batteries instead of zinc carbon batteries. Alkaline batteries last longer, particularly with low outdoor temperatures.
4. Keep the CHANNEL button pressed on the base station until the display for weather data OUT flashes. The base station will now access the weather data for all available radio sensors. Base station 1. Fold open the battery compartment lid. 2.
2. Using the BARO- / BARO+ buttons, set the air pressure. Pay attention to what is shown in the display. 3. Then, press SET/BARO again. If you keep the BARO- / BARO+ pressed, the values move forward more quickly. About the time signal General The radio-controlled clock that is integrated into the weather station receives its radio signals from the time indicator signal MSF.
Start radio reception manually When the batteries are inserted in the base station, all indications will briefly been shown in the display. The display will also briefly illuminate and sound a beep tone. After this, the device switches to receiving, whereby the radio wave number shows the quality of the reception: The more radio waves are displayed, the better the reception.
Set time and date manually 1. Keep the MODE/SET. pressed until the year flashes in the display. 2. Using the +/ or -/ /ZONE buttons, set the year. 3. Press the MODE/SET. button to save the setting. The month flashes in the display. 4.
With the 12-hour format, the afternoon hours are identified in the display with PM. 12. Using the +/ or -/ /ZONE buttons to set the required time format. 13. Press the MODE/SET. button to save the setting. In the display, the zone setting (+11/-11) flashes. 14.
If the reception was not successful, the reception symbol disappears after several minutes and the time in the display continues to run normally. With successful reception, the radio-controlled alarm clock sets itself to the time of the time signal transmitter. If you have already carried out manual time and date settings, these are automatically adjusted.

General The base station and radio sensor exchange data through a radio frequency. Therefore, the location is crucial to the range of the radio connection. Please note: The maximum allowable distance between the base station and the sensor is 100 metres. However, this range is only possible with "direct visible contact".
Page 22
Regarding the radio reception between the time signal transmitter and the base station, please note the following points: Preferably set up the base station near a window. Keep a distance to televisions, PCs and monitors. Base stations of cordless telephones should also not be in the direct vicinity of the weather station.

Base station DANGER When installing on a wall, please ensure that no electric cables, gas and water pipes are not buried beneath the wall surface before drilling any holes.
Page 24
The base station can be stood up or suspended. The base station has a fold-down stand (A) and two suspension loops (A) for this purpose. The stand has three locking positions. Preferably set up or suspend the base station near a window. This is usually the best recep- tion site.
Page 25
Radio sensor Stand or suspend the radio sensor at a location where it is protected from direct weather influences (rain, sun, wind, etc.). Suitable locations are e.g. below a canopy or in a carport.

Alarm function You can set two different alarm times with the base station For example, you can be woken up in the morning and after your afternoon nap, by activating both alarms. 1. Select the required alarm time by pressing the MODE/SET. button (A1 or A2). 2.
Page 30
Press 3x: A1 and A2 are active is displayed Press 4x: A1 and A2 are no longer active is extinguished End alarm At the set time, you will be woken up by an alarm signal, whereby the signal will increase in intensity, the longer the alarm sounds.
Weather data Temperature and humidity This area is divided into two parts in the display. The top section OUT [OUTSIDE] shows the val- ues measured by the radio sensor, the bottom section IN [INSIDE ] shows the data recorded by the base station.

Display area Base station Stored maximum and minimum values Trend for temperature, see page 34 Battery replacement display, see page 39 Trend for humidity, see page 34 Humidity in % Degree of measurement for temperature °C or °F Temperature With the MIN/MAX button, you can obtain a display of the highest and lowest values for the last 24 hours in relation to the temperature and humidity.
Press 1x: the MAX values are displayed Press 2x: the MIN values are displayed Press 3x: normal display The MIN and MAX values are automatically deleted each night at 12:00 a.m. The weather station also has a frost alarm. For additional information on this, see page 37.
Air pressure The trend of the air pressure within the last 12 hours is displayed in the form of a bar dia- gram. The scale goes from -1 (1 hour ago) to -12 (12 hours ago). Next to the bar diagram, the current air pressure is displayed in hPA (hectopascals). Press the MIN/MAX button in order to have the highest stored value during the last 12 hours displayed.
Weather forecast After initial operation, the details regarding the weather forecast cannot yet be used for approx. 12 hours, as the weather station needs this time to gather and evaluate the weather data. The weather forecast results from the gathered weather data and the measured changes in air pressure.
Page 37
cloudy rainy Frost warning - When the radio sensor measures a tem- perature of between + 1 °C and -1 °C, a risk of frost exists and a snowflake symbol flashes. If the temperature falls below -1 °C for a constant period of time, the snowflake symbol is displayed steadily.
Page 38
If the symbols for the weather forecast start to flash and the air pressure falls, this is an indication of weather deterioration, e.g. because of a storm front closing in. However, the requirement for a correct display is that you have set the air pressure at your loca- tion, see page 15.
Moon phases The displayed moon phases are automatically updated with the date full moon waning moon new moon new moon waxing moon full moon Other functions Switch light on Press the LIGHT/SNOOZE button in order to switch on the display lighting for several seconds.
When the symbol for the battery change is displayed, the inserted batteries in the base station (symbol next to IN)/radio sensor (symbol next to OUT) need to be replaced with new ones. Then, proceed as described from page 13 . Please note: The battery replacement display for the radio sensors (symbol next to OUT) indicates the battery replacement for the respective displayed channel number.
Reset weather station If obviously incorrect values are being displayed, you should reset the weather station to its fac- tory settings. 1. Remove the batteries from the weather station and reinsert them. When the batteries are inserted in the base station, all indications will briefly been shown in the display.
Have time displayed in a different time zone The requirement for this is that you have also entered the time in a second time zone, see from page 18. 1. Press the -/ /ZONE button if you intend to have the time in a second time zone displayed. Next to the time, ZONE is displayed.
