Initial Operation
• Open the battery compartment located on the rear side of the outdoor sensor and weather
station. Place the batteries in the battery compartment. Please pay attention to the polarity.
• The altitude flashes , please use “+ “, “-“to set the altitude of your position (in meters), then
press “HISTORY”, weather symbol flashes, press the "+", "-" button to select the weather
symbol that fits the current weather, press “HISTORY”, hPa flashes, pls use “+ “, “-“ to select
between the air pressure units hPa and inHG, press “HISTORY”.
• The station is now connecting to the outdoor sensor. This process takes about 3 minutes.
Then the display shows the outdoor temperature and humidity, in case of failure of reception
please press “CHANNEL“ for more than 3 seconds to restart the search process again.
• The automatic reception of the DCF radio signal starts after 3 minutes of outdoor reception
• While the RCC reception process is going on, the flashing symbol “radio tower“ appears in
the time display area
• Once radio signal reception was successful, the display shows a static “radio tower“ symbol
If, due to bad reception, or no RCC automatic time reception is possible, follow the steps below
for manual time setting, as described in the section "Manual Settings".
Reception of radio controlled signal
• DCF radio signal search starts automatically about 3 minutes after battery exchange. The
“radio tower” signal is flashing.
• Press“+“ and “-“ together for more than 3 seconds to enter or quit the radio controlled signal
reception
• The clock synchronizes with the DCF radio signal automatically and daily from AM 1:00 to
3:00 to correct time deviations each hour. If the synchronization is unsuccessful (“radio tower“
symbol disappears), a further synchronization attempt is made from 4:00 and 5:00 until
success. This process is repeated up until 5:00 AM. If still not successful, the daily reception
stops.
Information
• Flashing “radio tower” symbol is displayed, while DCF radio signal reception is running.
• A static “radio tower” symbol is displayed after the DCF radio signal reception was
successful.
• Please keep a minimal distance of 2.5m to sources of interference such as televisions or
computer screens.
• The radio signal reception is weaker in rooms with concrete walls (e.g. in the basement) and
in office buildings. For extreme cases, please put the clock near a window.
• There are less atmospheric disturbances at night. A radio time signal reception is usually
possible at that time. One synchronisation per day is sufficient to keep the time display
accuracy at 1 second.
Tip
You can adjust the time manually in case the clock cannot receive the DCF radio signal (due to
interferences, large distance to the sender, obstructions like mountains, etc.) As soon as the radio
signal can be received, the clock will be adjusted automatically.
Radio signal sender coverage up to 1500km distance to Frankfurt/Main.
