- Page 4 The Outdoor Temperature Transmitter Remote transmission of outdoor temperature to • Weather Station by 868 MHz signals Dual channel transmitter*: one internal channel • and one probe channel Shower proof casing • Wall mounting and table stand • This socket is only for the external probe.
- Page 5 Once the transmitter is successfully recognized by the Weather station, Channel 1 of the Weather station will display the temperature data measured by internal sensor and Channel 2 will display the temperature estimated by the probe. If the measuring probe is unplugged, the "probe channel" on Weather station (Channel 2) will show "---", yet the data from the internal sensor will still be shown on Channel 1 .
- Page 6 After the batteries are inserted, the Weather Station will start receiving data signal from the transmitter. If the optional probe has been plugged to the dual channel transmitter, the outdoor temperature should then be displayed on the Weather Station on channel 1 and 2. Also, the signal reception icon will be displayed.
- Page 7 Within 30 seconds of powering up the first transmitter, insert the batteries into the Weather Station. Once the batteries are in place, all segments of the LCD will light up briefly. Then the indoor temperature and the time as 0:00 will be displayed. If they are not shown on the LCD after 60 seconds, remove the batteries and wait for at least 60 seconds before reinserting them.
- Page 8 will display the data measured by the internal sensor of the second dual channel transmitter. Yet the probe data from the second transmitter will not be displayed on the Weather Station. Once the remote temperature has been received and displayed on the Weather Station, the DCF time code reception is automatically started.
- Page 9 INSTALL AND REPLACE BATTERIES IN THE WEATHER STATION The Weather Station uses 2 x AA, IEC LR6, 1.5V batteries. To install and replace the batteries, please follow the steps below: Insert finger or other solid object in the space at the bottom center of the battery compartment and lift up to remove the cover.
- Page 10 Remove the battery compartment cover. Insert the batteries, observing the correct polarity (see marking). Replace the battery compartment cover. Note: In the event of changing batteries in any of the units, all units need to be reset by following the setting up procedures. This is because a random security code is assigned by the transmitter at start-up and this code must be received and stored by the Weather Station in the first 3 minutes of power being supplied to it...

BATTERY CHANGE: It is recommended to replace the batteries in all units regularly to ensure optimum accuracy of these units (Battery life see Specifications below). Please participate in the preservation of the environment. Return used batteries to an authorized depot. 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... - Page 12 Once the outdoor reception test period is completed, the DCF tower icon in the clock display will start flashing in the upper center. This indicates that the clock has detected that there is a radio signal present and is trying to receive it. When the time code is received, the DCF tower becomes permanently lit and the time will be displayed.

ABOUT THE OUTDOOR TRANSMITTER The outdoor temperature is measured and transmitted every 4 seconds. - Page 33 Using other electrical products such as headphones or speakers operating on the same signal frequency (868MHz) may prevent correct signal transmission and reception. Neighbours using electrical devices 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 Weather station, as the batteries may spring free from the contacts and force a false reset.
