6. Getting started
• Place the base station and the transmitter on a table at a distance of about 1.5 meters from each other. Avoid being close to possible sources of
interference such as electronic devices and radio equipment.
• Remove the protective film from the base station display.
• Connect the attached power adapter to the base station. Insert the adapter into the base station jack and connect the power adapter into a mains
socket. Important! Make sure that your household voltage is 230V! Otherwise your device may be damaged.
• The device will alert you with a beep and all segments will be displayed for a short moment.
• The indoor temperature and humidity appear on the left side of the base station display.
6.1 Inserting the batteries in the outdoor transmitter/Reception of outdoor values
• Unscrew the battery compartment cover of the transmitter if appropriate (supplied unassembled).
• Insert two new batteries 1,5 V C into the outdoor transmitter's battery compartment. Make sure the polarity is correct.
• Insert the batteries with the negative pole first in the holder and push the contact spring together. Attention: Do not bend the spring!
• Carefully screw the transmittter's battery compartment cover back in place.
• After the batteries are inserted, the outdoor values will be transmitted to the base station.
• As soon as the base station receives the outdoor values, the outdoor temperature, humidity and wind speed are permanently shown.
• If the reception of the outdoor values fails within three minutes, "- -" appears on the display. Check the batteries and try it again. Check if there is
any source of interference.
• You can also activate the reception manually. Press and hold the ▼ button on the base station for two seconds. The reception symbol for the out-
door transmitter will be flashing. The registered transmitter (channel) will be canceled.

6.2 Reception of the DCF frequency signal
• After the reception of the outdoor values, the clock will now scan the DCF frequency signal and the DCF symbol will be flashing on the display.
• When the time code is successfully received after 3-10 minutes, the radio-controlled time and the DCF symbol will be shown steadily on the dis-
play.
• The DCF reception always takes place at 2:00 and 3:00 o'clock in the morning. If the reception is not successfully received at 3:00 o'clock, further
attempts will be held at 4:00 and 5:00 o'clock.
• You can also activate the DCF reception manually.
• Press the TIME SET button.
• The DCF reception symbol will be flashing.
• There are three different reception symbols:
flashing - reception is active
solid - reception is very good
no symbol - No DCF reception
• By default, the DCF reception is activated and after successful reception of the DCF signal no manual adjustment is necessary.
• If the clock cannot detect the DCF-signal (e.g. due to interference, transmitting distance, etc.), the time can be set manually.
• The clock will then work as a normal quartz clock. (see: Manual settings).
6.2.1 Radio-controlled time reception
The time base for the radio-controlled time is a caesium atomic clock operated by the Physikalisch Technische Bundesanstalt based in Braun-
schweig (Brunswick), Germany. It has a time deviation of less than one second in one million years. The time is coded and transmitted from Main-
flingen near Frankfurt via the frequency signal DCF-77 (77.5 kHz) and has a transmitting range of approximately 1,500 km. The adjustment to Day-
light Saving Time (summer/winter time) is automatic. In Daylight Saving Time "S" is shown on the display. The reception quality depends mainly on
geographic location. Normally there should be no reception problems within a 1,500 km radius around Frankfurt.
Therefore, please note the following steps:
• The recommended distance to any interfering sources like computer screens or TV sets is at least 1.5 - 2 meters.
• Within concrete walls (reinforced with steel) such as basements, the received signal is naturally weakened. In extreme cases, please place the
unit close to a window to improve reception.
• During night-time, 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.
6.3 Inserting the batteries in the base station
• The batteries will operate as a backup power source in case of power failure.
• For a permanent backlight and to conserve battery power, use the included supplied power adapter.
• Open the battery compartment at the back of the base station.
• Insert three new batteries AAA 1,5 V into the battery compartment. Make sure the polarity is correct.
• Close the battery compartment again.

6.4 Backlight

• Attention: Backlight in continuous operation only works with power adapter.
• Default for the backlight is HI.
