is not displayed on the LCD after 60 seconds, remove the batteries and wait for at least 60 seconds before reinserting them. Once the indoor data is displayed user may proceed to the next step. After the batteries are inserted, the thermo-hygrometer will start receiving data signal from the transmitter.

When the time code is received, the DCF tower becomes permanently lit and the time will be displayed. 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.
Recommended distance to any interfering • sources like computer monitors or TV sets is a minimum of 1.5 - 2 meters. Within ferro-concrete rooms (basements, • superstructures), the received signal is naturally weakened. In extreme cases, please place the unit close to a window and/ or point its front or back towards the Frankfurt transmitter.

The date default of the thermo-hygrometer is 1. 1. 2011. Once the radio-controlled time signals are received, the date is automatically updated. However, if the signals are not received, the date can also be set manually. The year starts flashing. Use the + key to set the year (between year 2011-2039).

TO RESET THE MIN/MAX DATA Press and hold MIN/MAX key for 3 seconds to reset all the indoor and outdoor temperature to current temperatures. ABOUT THE THERMO-HYGRO TRANSMITTER The range of the thermo-hygro transmitter may be affected by the temperature. At cold temperatures the transmitting distance may be decreased.

operating on the 868MHz-signal frequency can also cause interference. Note: When the 868MHz signal is received correctly, do not re-open the battery cover of either the transmitter or thermo-hygrometer, as the batteries may spring free from the contacts and force a false reset. Should this happen accidentally then reset all units (see “Setting up”...

Place the thermo- hygrometer onto the screw, using the hanging hole on the backside. Gently pull the thermo-hygrometer down to lock the screw into place. Foldout table stand: The foldout table stand leg is located on the backside. Pull the stand out from the bottom center edge of the thermo-hygrometer, below the battery compartment.
To wall mount: Secure the bracket onto a desired wall using the screws and plastic anchors. Clip the transmitter onto the bracket. Note: Before permanently fixing the thermo-hygro transmitter to the wall base, place all units in the desired locations to check that the outdoor temperature and humidity readings are receivable.
