MUST READ BEFORE GETTING START

Your Meteotime Weather Station is different to traditional

weather stations which measure the prevailing conditions

only, the data of this weather station is based on the

METEOTIME which is worked out on a daily basis by highly

professional meteorologists using state-of-art instruments.

The Meteotime Weather Station is engineered in such

a way that it is able to receive the coded METEOTIME

signal containing the weather information. The information

is broadcasted via the stations for radio-controlled

clocks HBG (located in Switzerland) and DCF (located

in Germany). For this reason, your Meteotime Weather

Station is also a radio-controlled clock with all the known

advantages, such as always showing the exact time, and

automatic change to daylight saving time in winter and

in summer.

You are able to receive weather forecasts for 60

meteorological regions within Europe for up to 4 days in

advance, and offer 2-day-advance forecasts for an

additional 30 regions.

WHAT DOES IT TAKE TO GET GOOD RECEPTION?

Similar to wireless signals like the mobile phone network

or Radio/TV broadcasts, it is possible that the Meteotime

Weather Stations do not receive signals all the time and

everywhere. The following are some tips you should follow

by all means to make sure that your device works properly:

The location for Meteotime Weather Station is very impor-

tant. For this reason we have equipped all of them with an

innovation test function (the TEST button) which enables

you test the quality of reception in your environment and to

place the device where the best conditions prevail.

Try your reception by testing your

Meteotime Weather Station as stated in the manual. To do

this, in the room you want to install the device, please turn

on all the potential sources of interference (for example,

a TV set). Then put the Meteotime Weather Station in the

place and direction you want it to be, but always at least in

one meter from the potential source of interference.

Watch the symbol GOOD RECEPTION or BAD RECEPTION

on the display. Once you have found the right location for

GOOD RECEPTION, you may leave the Meteotime Weather

Station there, it will collect its data by radio controlled

signal. Within a few minutes time and the date will appear.

However, the transfer of the very large amount of data

(forecast for all regions and days) will take much longer. To

completely receive all data will take up to 24 hours from the

time of the initial setup.

POTENTIAL SOURCES of INTERFERENCE

With all Meteotime Weather Stations, we should take

measures to provide best possible radio reception. HBG

and DCF are long wave stations with a broad reach (for ex-

ample, approximate 1500km for the DCF station). However,

as with a long wave radio station, interference may occur

which is often caused by the following inuences:

• In buildings with lots of concrete, metal parts, and the

electrical equipment you may get reception problems

(for example, in shopping centers and at exhibitions).

• Electronic equipment such as TVs, computers,

household machines, etc., or transformers, power lines,

radio transmitters, and trains are potential sources of

interference.

• Atmospheric inuences might affect the radio waves.

• The distance from the station, and also the geographic

conditions (mountains, etc.) also affect the reception.

Due to their great distance from the station, areas like

Southern Italy or Northern Scandinavia are critical.

• So-called (dead-spots) which make reception

impossible can appear everywhere.

• There is less interference in rural area than in heavily

built-up urban ones.

• On principle at night the sources of interference are less

active, consequently reception is better than during the

day.

• Week batteries in the device will lower the quality of

reception.

DATA TRANSFER

METEOTIME sends the data during precisely dened time

slots in accordance with UTC. (UTC, i.e. for Central Europe

during the winter UTC+1, during the summer UTC+2; for

Great Britain and Portugal during the winter UTC, during

the summer UTC+1)
