6. Getting started
Insert batteries:
• Place both instruments on a desk with a distance of approximately 1.5
meter. Check that no other electronic devices are close.
• Insert at first three new batteries 1,5 V AA in the battery compartment
of the basic station and then two new batteries 1,5 V AA in the battery
compartment of the outdoor transmitter. Make sure the polarities are
correct.
Reception of outdoor temperature and humidity
• The basic unit automatically starts scanning the signals to register the
outdoor transmitter after batteries are inserted. The basic unit will
scan for 2 minutes the outdoor values. The reception symbol flashes.
• The LED indicator of the transmitter is flashing. The outdoor transmit-
ter is set to channel 1 by default.
• If the reception of outdoor values fails, "- -" appears on the display.
Check the batteries and try it again. Check if there is any source of
interference.
• Manual initialization can be helpful. Press and hold ▲/CH button for
3 seconds. The reception symbol flashes. The weather station will only
search for an outdoor transmitter on the actual selected channel.

Radio-controlled time reception
• The clock will now scan the DCF frequency signal and the DCF symbol
flashes on the LCD. When the time code is received successfully after
3-8 minutes, the radio-controlled time is displayed and the DCF sym-
bol remains permanently on the display. During the DCF time reception
period, no outdoor values will be transmitted.
• There are 3 different reception symbols:
- reception is active
- reception is very good
- No DCF reception
• To activate the DCF reception, press the ALARM button for 2 seconds.
The reception signal - symbol flashes. Press the ALARM button again to
stop scanning DCF time signal.
• If the clock cannot detect the DCF-signal (for example due to distur-
bances, transmitting distance, etc.), the clock can be set manually.
• The clock will then work as a normal quartz clock. (see: Manual setting
of the clock, calendar and day-of-week language).
Note for radio-controlled time DCF:
The time base for the radio-controlled time is a caesium atomic clock
operated by the Physikalisch Technische Bundesanstalt Braunschweig. It
has a time deviation of less than one second in one million years. The time
is coded and transmitted from Mainflingen near Frankfurt via frequency
signal DCF-77 (77.5 kHz) and has a transmitting range of approximately
1,500 km. Your radio controlled clock receives this signal, converts it to
shows the precise time. Changeover from summer time or winter time are
automatic. The quality of the reception depends mainly on the geograph-
ic location. Normally there should be no reception problems within a
1,500 km radius around Frankfurt.
Please take note of the following:
• The recommended distance to any interfering sources like computer
monitors or TV sets is at least 1.5 - 2 metres.
• Inside ferro-concrete rooms (basements, superstructures), the received
signal is naturally weakened. In extreme cases, please place the unit
close to a window to improve the reception.
• During nighttime, the atmospheric interference is usually less severe
and reception is possible in most cases. A single daily reception is ade-
quate to keep the accuracy deviation under 1 second.
7. Operation
• During the reception of the outdoor values or the time is a button
operation not possible.
