INSTALLATION/ASSEMBLY

The weather station is only to be placed and used in dry, enclosed indoor rooms.

Place it on a ﬂ at, stable, sufﬁ ciently large surface. Protect valuable furniture

surfaces by using an appropriate underlay, otherwise it may cause scratches.

The outdoor sensor is intended for installation in a protected outdoor area; hang

it on a screw or nail.

You should protect the outside sensor from direct precipitation; otherwise the

air temperature cannot be measured. Never use the outside sensor in or under

water; this will damage it!

REPLACING THE BATTERIES

a) Outdoor sensor

The display contrast decreases when the batteries run low. Furthermore, the battery

symbol “

” is shown in the display of the outside sensor and the weather station.

Replace the batteries with new ones. If the weather station cannot detect the out-

side sensor, press the “CHANNEL” button for approx. 3 seconds until the “ ” for

sensor search starts to ﬂ ash. This process lasts approx. 3 minutes. During this time,

do not move the outside sensor nor the weather station, do not press any buttons.

b) Weather station

The display contrast decreases or the displayed symbols disappear when activating

the light, when the batteries run low.

Replace the batteries with new ones. All settings and data will be lost.

SELECTING TIME/DATE, TIME ZONE, 12/24 MODE

AND DISPLAY LANGUAGE



If the respective key is pressed for a longer period of time, quick adjustment

is performed. This also applies to setting the month, date, hours and minutes.

If you do not press any key for 10 seconds, the weather station saves all set-

tings and exits the settings mode automatically.

Brieﬂ y press the “SET“ button and the month ﬂ ashes. Using the “UP” or “DOWN”

button, you can set the month.

Brieﬂ y press the “SET“ button and the date ﬂ ashes. Using the “UP” or “DOWN”

button, you can set the date.

Brieﬂ y press the “SET“ button and the time zone ﬂ ashes. Using the “UP” or

“DOWN” button, you can set the time zone from +12 to -12 hours.

Press the “SET” button several times and the “24h” or “12h” ﬂ ashes on the dis-

play. Using the “UP” or “DOWN” button you can choose either the 12h or the 24h

The reception attempt lasts for approx. 3 - 7 minutes, do not move the weather sta-

tion during this time, do not press any button.

If the current time of the day and the date are still not displayed after this period,

choose another location for the weather station and perform the reception attempt

again.



Do not place the weather station next to electronic devices, metal parts,

cables and so on. Bad reception can also be expected with metallised in-

sulating glass windows, reinforced concrete constructions, coated special

wallpaper or in cellar rooms.

MANUAL START OF THE OUTDOOR SENSOR RECEPTION

Press the “CHANNEL” button for approx. 3 seconds until the symbol “ ” for sensor

search starts to ﬂ ash. This process lasts approx. 3 minutes. During this time, do not

move the outside sensor nor the weather station, do not press any buttons.

TOGGLING THE TEMPERATURE UNITS °C/°F

Brieﬂ y press the button “°C/°F” on the weather station in order to toggle between

°C (degree Celsius) and °F (degree Fahrenheit).

If the temperature reading the the display of the outdoor sensor is to be changed,

open the battery case of the outdoor sensor and brieﬂ y press the “°C/°F” button

located there.

ALARM FUNCTION

c) Switching the alarm function on/off

Brieﬂ y press the “ALM-SET“ button to switch the alarm function on or off.

If the alarm function is activated, a small bell symbol “ ” appears on the left

If no button is pressed, the alarm signal stops automatically after 2 minutes.

DELETING MAX/MIN VALUES

Brieﬂ y press the “MEM” button in order to toggle between the maximum values

(the display shows “MAX”), the minimum values (“MIN”) and the current meas-

ured values.

To delete the saved maximum and minimum values, hold the “MEM” button

pressed for at least 3 seconds.

SELECTING THE SENSOR CHANNELS

Brieﬂ y press the “CHANNEL” button, to toggle between the three outdoor sensors

for outside temperature.



The respective channel number is displayed on the left of the displayed

To activate the display light, press the top of the housing brieﬂ y. The light automati-

cally goes out after several seconds.

WEATHER FORECAST

The weather forecast for the next 24 hours is calculated based on measurements of

trends in the barometric pressure. This results in an accuracy of up to 70%.

The weather forecast is indicated by a graphic symbol in the display.

Please note:

If “Sunny” is displayed at night, this means a clear night with clearly visible stars.

The display does not represent the momentary weather situation, but is a forecast

for the next 12 to 24 hours.

The calculation of the weather forecast based only on barometric pressure results

in a maximum accuracy of about 70%. The actual weather the next day can there-

fore be completely different. Since the measured barometric pressure only applies

for an area with a diameter of about 50 km, the weather can also change quickly.

This is especially the case in mountainous areas and high mountain regions.

Therefore, don‘t depend on the weather forecast of the weather station, but in-

form yourself locally when you would like to hike in the mountains, for example.

In case of sudden or larger air pressure ﬂ uctuations, the display symbols are up-

dated to indicate the weather change. If the display symbols do not change, either

the air pressure did not change or the change occurred so gradually that it cannot

be registered by the weather station.

If the weather forecast shows “Sun” or “Rain”, the display will not change even if

the weather improves (display “Sun”) or deteriorates (display “Rain”) since those

symbols already display the two extreme conditions.

The symbols indicate a weather change for the better or worse, which does not

have to mean sun or rain, however, as indicated by the symbols.

After inserting new batteries, you should not pay attention to the measuring val-

ues and weather forecasts for the ﬁ rst 12 to 24 hours, because the station must

ﬁ rst collect air pressure data in this period at a constant height above sea level

before being able to make a more exact forecast.

If the weather station is brought to a signiﬁ cantly higher or lower location than

the original site (e.g. from the ground ﬂ oor to the upper storeys of a building) the

weather station may possibly erroneously detect a change in weather.
