Should transmission problems occur, it is necessary to remove the batteries from all units and start again the set-up from step 1. Once the remote temperature has been received and displayed on the Weather station, the DCF time (radio controlled time) code reception is automatically started.
  • Page 8 BATTERY INSTALLATION 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: Remove the cover at the back of the weather station. Insert batteries observing the correct polarity (see marking).
