    Safety Please read carefully through the following information and keep these instructions, in case you need to refer to them later. If you pass the product on to someone else, please also include these instructions. This device may be used by children from the age of 8 as well as by persons with reduced physical, sensory and mental capabilities or with a lack of experience and/or knowledge if they are being supervised or have been instructed on how to...
  • Page 6 The radio weather station and the mains adaptor must not be immersed in water or other iquids due to risk of electrocution. The base station of the radio weather station must not be used near sources of moisture such as sinks. Only the mains adaptor provided must be used and it must only be replaced with the same model.
  • Page 7 Hazards for children Batteries can pose a danger to life if swallowed. Therefore, keep the weather station, radio sensor and batteries out of reach of small children. If a battery has been swallowed, medical assistance must immediately be sought. Keep children away from packaging material and the small parts in the scope of delivery.
  • Page 8 Pull the mains adaptor out of the socket: - before cleaning the radio weather station, - if the device is obviously not working properly, - during thunderstorms Always pull the plug, not the cable. Do not modify the device itself or the power cable. Repairs must only be carried out by a specialist workshop, because devices that have not been professionally repaired may put the user at risk.
  • Page 9 Caution – property damage Protect the base station and radio sensor from dust, impact, extreme temperatures and direct sunshine. Protect the base station from moisture. Exclusively position base station in a dry, enclosed space. The radio sensor is protected against moisture; however, it must be protected from direct exposure to moisture such as rain.
  • Page 10: Contents Of Delivery

    Always replace all batteries in the base station or in the radio sensor at the same time. Only use batteries of the same type, do not use different types or used and new batteries together. Do not carry out any changes to the device. Only allow repairs to be carried out by a professional workshop and pay attention to the warranty conditions.

  • Page 18: Initial Use

    Initial use Proceed in the order indicated and first insert the batteries in the radio sensor. Only then will the weather station work properly. Radio sensor Remove the battery compartment lid on the back of the radio sensor. Insert two type R03 (AAA) / 1.5 V batteries, as shown on the base of the battery compartment.
  • Page 19 - Do not use any rechargeable batteries, as their voltage is too low (only 1.2 V instead of 1.5 V). This influences the measuring precision, among other things. - Preferably use alkaline batteries instead of zinc carbon batteries. Alkaline batteries last longer, particularly with low outdoor temperatures. Using additional radio sensors The weather station is supplied with one radio sensor.
  • Page 20: Base Station

    Reattach the battery compartment lids onto the radio sensors. Keep the CHANNEL button pressed on the base station until the display for weather data OUT flashes. The base station will now access the weather data for all available radio sensors. Base station You can operate the radio weather station with a mains adaptor or with batteries.
  • Page 21: Setting Air Pressure

    Wait approx. 30 minutes. During this time the base station gathers all weather data and receives radio signals from the time signal transmitter. Battery operation Fold open the battery compartment lid. Insert two type LR6 / 1.5 V batteries, as shown on the base of the battery compartment.
  • Page 22: About The Time Signal

    Keep the SET/BARO button pressed until the display that shows the air pressure begins to flash. Using the BARO- / BARO+ buttons, set the air pressure. Pay attention to what is shown in the display. Then, press SET/BARO again. If you keep the BARO- / BARO+ pressed, the values move forward more quickly.
  • Page 23: Start Radio Reception Automatically

    The base station switches on several times a day and synchronises its time with the radio signal from transmitter MSF. In the case of non-receipt, e.g. with strong lightning storms, the device continues to run accurately and only switches to receiving automatically at the next designated time.
  • Page 24: Set Time And Date Manually

    In this case, the time continues to run normally, from the start time of "00:00". First, check whether the location of the base station is suitable, see page 27. You can restart the receiving process again manually, see page 23, or Wait until the base station automatically switches to receiving again later.
  • Page 25 Press the MODE/SET. button to save the setting. The hour flashes in the display. Using the +/ or -/ /ZONE buttons, set the correct hour. Press the MODE/SET. button to save the setting. The minute flashes in the display. Using the +/ or -/ /ZONE buttons, set the correct minute.
  • Page 26: Start Radio Reception Manually

    Press the MODE/SET. button to end the process. Start radio reception manually If the adjacent radio signal symbol is no longer displayed, the radio signals of the time signal transmitter are no longer being received. The time display nevertheless continues to run accurately. In order to start the reception of the time signal manually, keep the -/ /ZONE button pressed until the radio signal symbol is displayed again and the weather station is switched to reception.
  • Page 27: Select Location

    Select location ATTENTION - Protect the base station and radio sensor from dust, impact, extreme temperatures and direct sunshine. - Protect the base station from moisture. Exclusively position base station in a dry, enclosed space. - -The radio sensor is protected against moisture; however, it must be protected from direct exposure to moisture such as rain.
  • Page 28 Devices, such as televisions, cordless telephones, computers and neon tubes can also disrupt the radio reception. Do not place the base station and radio sensor directly on the ground. This limits the range. At low temperatures during the winter, the performance of the radio sensor batteries can fall significantly.
  • Page 29 The weather, e.g. an intense lighting storm, can cause reception problems. The transmitter can occasionally be switched off temporarily, e.g. for maintenance works. Base station DANGER When installing on a wall, please ensure that no electric cables, gas and water pipes are not buried beneath the wall surface before drilling any holes.

  • Page 36: Weather Data

    The alarm becomes silent for approx. 5 minutes. After this, the devices switches itself back on and wakes you up again. This process can be repeated several times. In this context please also note the section starting on page 46. Weather data Temperature and humidity This area is divided into two parts in the display.

  • Page 38 With the CHANNEL button, you can switch between the radio sensors: CH1, CH2, CH3 or automatic switching between all sensors. If fewer than three sensors are in use, non-existent radio sensor are skipped with the switching. If only one radio sensor is in use (standard), the auto-switching function is not available.

  • Page 40: Weather Trend

    Weather trend For the temperature and humidity values measured by the base station and radio sensor, the trend is shown in the form of an arrow. trend rising constant falling Temperature Humidity Air pressure The trend of the air pressure within the last 12 hours is displayed in the form of a bar diagram.
  • Page 41: Weather Forecast

    The MAX and MIN values are continuously measured and stored. It is therefore not possible to manually delete these values. In conjunction with the weather forecast, see next chapter, other weather indications are possible. Two examples: Weather forecast shows rain, the air pressure is falling quickly and intensively >> strong rain is likely.

  • Page 43 thunderstorm light snowfall Frost warning - When the radio sensor measures a temperature of between + 1 °C and -1 °C, a risk of frost exists and a snowflake symbol flashes. If the temperature falls below -1 °C for a constant period of time, the snowflake symbol is displayed heavy snowfall steadily.
  • Page 44 If a radio sensor is in use, the frost alarm will be identified from the sensor unit with the lowest number. If the symbols for the weather forecast start to flash and the air pressure falls, this is an indication of weather deterioration, e.g. because of a storm front closing in. However, the requirement for a correct display is that you have set the air pressure at your location, see page 21.
