Function Keys - La Crosse Technology Weather Station Instruction Manual

(77.5 kHz) and has a transmitting range of approximately 1,500 km. Your radio-controlled Weather Station
receives this signal and converts it to show the precise time in summer or wintertime.
The quality of the reception depends greatly on the geographic location. In normal cases, there should be
no reception problems within a 1500km radius of Frankfurt.
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.
If the tower icon flashes, but does not set the time or the DCF tower does not appear at all, then please
take note of the following:
•
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.
•
During nighttime, the atmospheric disturbances are usually less severe and reception is possible in
most cases. A single daily reception is adequate to keep the accuracy deviation below 1 second.
