    Once the remote temperature has been received and is displayed on the Weather Station, the DCF-77 time code reception is automatically started. This takes typically between 3 - 5 minutes in good conditions. This time period is an excellent opportunity to locate the transmitter(s) in suitable location(s) outdoors.

  • Page 4: Battery Change

    Note: In the event of changing batteries in any of the units, all units need to be reset by following the setting up procedures. This is because a random security code is assigned by the transmitter at start-up and this code must be received and stored by the Weather Station in the first three minutes of power being supplied to it.

  • Page 10: The Weather Tendency Indicator

    Sunny Cloudy with sunny intervals Rainy For every sudden or significant change in the air pressure, the weather icons will update accordingly to represent the change in weather. If the icons do not change, then it means either the air pressure has not changed or the change has been too slow for the Weather Station to register.
  • Page 11 with cloud and sun icons, then the last noticeable change in the weather was when it was sunny (the sun icon only). Therefore, the next change in the weather will be cloud with rain icons since the indicator is pointing downwards.

    There is also double sided tape included with the wall mount. On smooth surfaces this can be used instead of drilling holes. The mounting surface can, however, affect the transmission range. If for example the unit is attached to a piece of metal, it may then either reduce or increase the transmitting range.
