By pressing the MIN/ OUT key, display of the stored MIN/MAX outdoor temperature and humidity with simultaneous display of a MIN or MAX symbol in the upper center.
Recommended distance to any interfering sources like computer monitors or TV sets is a minimum of 1.5 - 2 metres. 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.

mean that the product is faulty because it is not raining. It simply means that the air pressure has dropped and the weather is expected to get worse but not necessarily rainy. Note: After setting up, readings for weather forecasts should be disregarded for the next 12-24 hours. This will allow sufficient time for the Projection clock to collect air pressure data at a constant altitude and therefore result in a more accurate forecast.

Therefore, user may see how the weather has changed and is expected to change. For example, if the indicator is pointing downwards together with cloudy icons, it means that the last noticeable change in the weather was when it was sunny (the sunny icon only). Therefore, the next change in the weather will be the cloudy icons since the indicator is pointing downwards.

THERMO-HYGRO TRANSMITTER: The range of the Thermo-Hygro transmitter may be affected by the temperature. At cold temperatures the transmitting distance may be decreased. Please bear this in mind when placing the transmitter. 433MHz RECEPTION The Projection clock should receive the temperature and humidity data within 15 minutes after set-up. If the temperature and humidity data is not being received 15 minutes after setting up (the display shows “- - -”...
