Installation

1. Insert the round base to the back pole (as indicated) of your LED weather station, turn the base to the right to secure it in position.
2. Plug the AC/DC adaptor into any 230V European AC household outlet. Plug the DC jack into the lower back of the clock. The top front of the clock will showand the indoor-outdoor temperatures and weather forecast display will appear. Your LED weather station is ready to work for you.

Battery Back Up

1. Slide the battery door at the back case, insert 3 x AAA batteries with correct + and - polarity signs inside the battery compartment. Replace the battery cover.
2. When AC power is off, the batteries will power t he clock to keep track of the time and alarm time.

Power Up Reception and Signal Strength Display

1. After plug in AC power, the clock starts to receive DCF signal.
   Icon blinks. Display shows
   
2. When strong DCF signal is detected, display shows with 3 bars
   
   1. Strong DCF signal is detected,
   2. Minute digits may start counting 01,02,03...60,00,01,02.... trying to match with the correct seconds DfJJY signal

When weak or no DCF signal is detected, display shows with 1 bar or . You will need to place the clock to another area for better reception, or unplug the AC/DC jack to start over reception again. During reception, the signal strength may move from 1 bar to 2 bars to 3 bars. This is normal since the clock is detecting DCF signal and other signals in the air at the same time.

3. If the clock does not catch DCF time signal for 7 minutes, it will go back to normal time display
4. During reception, press TIME button once will go to normal time display.
   Press HR again will return to reception mode and signal strength indication.

If you continue to lose the outdoor temperature display, try placing the transmitter in a different location until you have smooth transmission of temperature data.

USING THE WEATHER FORECASTER AND BAROMETER

Your LED weather station has a built-in barometer which measures the barometric pressure. After power up, the display shows Sunny & Cloudy icons. Your LED weather station takes around 24 hours to gather data of barometric pressure changes and predicts next 12-24 hours weather conditions.

There are four types of weather display of the predicted weather condition:

SUNNY

SUNNY & CLOUDY

CLOUDY

RAINY

Your weather forecaster also has weather tendency indicator, when the air pressure is going up (the weather will improve) the UP arrow will appear, when the air pressure is going down (the weather will go worse) the DOWN arrow will appear.

Remarks:

Moving your weather station around your house or your building will affect its accuracy because the sudden change of temperature or height/altitude will affect the accuracy of your weather station. It will take 24 hours to get stable again to predict next 12-24 hours weather condition.

Your weather station predicts next 12 - 24 hours weather conditions. It may not match with the current weather condition outside.

TROUBLE SHOOTING

Press the RESET button on the back of the base thermometer and then press RESET button located on the back of the outdoor transmitter. Once you do this, your clock will be reset to default setting and needs to be up-dated by DCF time signal again.
