5.1. Base station
• Use the base (22) to position the base station on a level
surface.
• Alternatively, you can install the base station on a wall
using the opening (21) on the back.
5.2. Measuring station
• You can fasten the measuring station horizontally or
vertically to an outer wall using a mounting plate (25).
• If you want to mount the measuring station horizontally,
use rawl plugs, screws, etc. to fasten the mounting plate
(25) using the central cut-out (27) to the wall intended
for installation.
• If you want to mount the measuring station vertically, use
rawl plugs, screws, etc. in the wall intended for installation
and hang the mounting plate (25) using cut-out (26).
• Gently push the measuring station until you hear a latching
sound ("click") as it engages with the clips (28).
6. Operation
Note – Input
Hold down the ▲ button (16) or the  button (14) to
select the values faster.
6.1. Connection to the measuring station
• After you insert the batteries, the base station automatically
searches for a connection to the measuring station and
performs initial setup.
Note
• Initial setup takes approx. 2 minutes.
• During connection, the wireless symbol on the
measuring station will flash (1).
• Do not press any buttons during setup. Otherwise,
values may not be transmitted correctly and there is a
risk of value errors and inaccuracies.
• The setup process is completed when the indoor (4)
and outdoor (3) measurement data is displayed.
• The measured value is automatically updated by the
base device about every 45 seconds.
• If the temperature is outside of the measuring range,
--.- (lower than minimum temperature) or --.- (higher
than maximum temperature) will appear on the
temperature display.

Note – Faulty transfer of measured values
• In isolated cases, interference - e.g. from a WLAN
network, a computer or a television set - can cause the
transfer of measured values between the measuring
station and the base station to fail.
• In this case, you must resynchronise the stations by
briefly removing the batteries from both stations and
reinserting them.
• If the measured values are not transferred again once
the batteries are inserted, replace the batteries with
new ones.
• If necessary, select a new location for the base station
in order to avoid possible interference in the future.
6.2. Selecting the channel/other measuring stations
Note
• You can install two more measuring stations in addition
to the included measuring station. Ensure that the base
and measuring stations are set to the same channel.
Visit www.hama.com for suitable measuring stations.
• The transmission channel on the supplied measuring
station cannot be changed/set (CH1).
• Press the CHANNEL button (15) repeatedly to set the
channel to that set on the respective measuring station.
CH1, CH2 or CH3 (2) is displayed.
• Select CH1 if you are only using the measuring station
supplied.
• The base station now shows the data measured (3) on the
selected measuring station (2).
6.3. Basic and manual settings
Automatic setting using the DCF signal
After the first time the base station is switched on and
successful transmission is established between the base
station and the measuring station, the clock will automatically
search for a DCF signal. During the search, the wireless
symbol (5) will flash.
