Technical Data - Conrad 401767 Mode D'emploi

Installation/set-up
The base station can be placed on a surface or hung on the wall:
• To set up the clock, fold out the support (C3) and place the clock on a level surface.
• Protect valuable furniture surfaces by using an appropriate underlay; otherwise, it may cause scratches.
• For wall mounting, there are suspension eyes (C1) provided on the back of the device.
• Secure the clock in place with one or several screws that protrude a few millimetres from the wall. Then
hang the clock on the screw head with the suspension eyes (C1).
Outdoor sensor:
• Secure the outdoor sensor in place with one screw or a nail that protrudes a few millimetres from the wall.
Then hang the sensor on the screw or nail head with the suspension eye on the back of the device.
• Alternatively the outdoor sensor can be opened. In order to do this you should flip open the foot of the
battery compartment.
The outdoor sensor is suitable for use in protected outdoor areas. It should be placed so that it is
not exposed to direct sunlight, since this can result in a false temperature reading. Precipitation
falling on the outdoor sensor will also lead to a false temperature reading, since this cools the
housing.
Therefore, we recommend you choose the installation place carefully, so the outdoor sensor
measures the correct temperature.
Never dip the outdoor sensor in or under water; this may destroy it!
DCF Time Adjustment
• After inserting the batteries and the reception of the outdoor sensor's signal, the clock starts searching
for the DCF signal automatically. This is indicated by the flashing DCF symbol (A1) on the top right in the
display. Normally, the synchronisation process is completed within a few minutes.
• As soon as the DCF signal is decoded, the DCF icon (A1) will appear continuously and the current time
and date are shown in the display.
• In normal mode, the clock starts a reception attempt at 03:00 AM. If the clock does not receive any signal, the
DCF icon (A1) goes out and the clock starts a new reception attempt at 04:00 AM, 05:00 AM and 06:00 AM.
• To start a manual reception attempt, press and hold the – °C/°F button (B5) for three seconds until the
DCF symbol (A1) flashes in the display.
If there is interference with the reception of the DCF signal, try to find a new location and/or leave
the clock near a window overnight.
At night the reception is better, so the clock is normally synchronised the next morning.
The message DST (Daylight Saving Time) in the display, located beside the DCF symbol, shows
that the device is displaying the summertime setting.
Setting the Time Manually
If no keystroke is performed for more than 15 seconds while setting the time, the clock exits the
manual setting mode and returns to the previous screen.
• During the normal time mode, press and hold the MODE button (B1) until the hour display flashes.
• Set the hours by using the buttons + 12/24 (B4) and – °C/°F (B5).
• Press the MODE button (B1) again. The minute display flashes.
• Set the minutes by using the buttons + 12/24 (B4) and – °C/°F (B5).
• Now set the seconds, the year, the date format, the month, the date, the language for the weekday display
and the time zone as described above.
The languages available for the weekday display are:
English (ENG), German (GER), French (FRA), Spanish (ESP), Italian (ITA), Dutch (NET), Dan-
ish (DAN) and Russian (RU).
• Press the MODE button (B1) again to save the setting.
• The time zone setting needs only to be adjusted if the time zone differs from the DCF time zone. Other-
wise, leave the time zone at the value 00.
12/24 hour display
• Press the + 12/24 (B4) key to swap between the 12h and the 24h display.
Thermometer
The clock displays the room temperature in the indoor temperature display (A3) and the outdoor temperature
in the outdoor temperature display (A5).
• Press the - °C/°F (B5) button on the base station to switch between the display in °C and °F.
• Press the – °C/°F button in the battery compartment of the outdoor sensor to switch between the display
in °C and °F on the outdoor sensor.
• If the temperature lies outside the measurement range, the temperature displays show "LL.L" (temperature
too low) or "HH.H" (temperature too high).
Temperature alarm
The outdoor thermometer is equipped with an alarm function which indicates an alarm if the outdoor tem-
perature lies outside an adjustable temperature range.
• Press the ALERT button (B8) on the base station to switch the temperature alarm on or off. When the
temperature alarm is switched on, two arrow symbols are shown next to the outdoor temperature display
(A5).
• Press and hold the ALERT button (B8) until the upper arrow flashes.
• Set the upper alarm temperature by using the buttons + 12/24 (B4) and – °C/°F (B5).
• Press the ALERT button (B8) again and set the lower alarm temperature by using the buttons + 12/24 (B4)
and – °C/°F (B5).
• Press the ALERT button (B8) again to save the settings.
• If the outdoor temperature exceeds or falls below one of the two alarm temperatures, an alarm signal is
emitted. To turn off the alarm signal, press the ALERT button (B8).
Alarm function
Programming the alarm time
• Press the MODE button (B1) once so that the alarm time (AL) is shown in the display.
• Press and hold the MODE button (B1) until the hour display of the alarm flashes.
• Set the hours by using the buttons + 12/24 (B4) and – °C/°F (B5).
• Press the MODE button (B1) again. The minute display flashes.
• Set the minutes by using the buttons + 12/24 (B4) and – °C/°F (B5).
• Press the MODE button (B1) again to save the setting.
To activate / deactivate the alarm
• Press the button ALARM (B3) in order to activate or deactivate the alarm function.
• A bell symbol appears in the display, if the alarm function is activated.
• To cancel the alarm tone and to activate the snooze function during the alarm, press the SNOOZE (B2)
button.
• While the alarm tone is interrupted, the symbol "Zz" flashes in the display. The alarm tone will resume after
5 minutes. This procedure can be repeated up to seven times.
• To turn off the alarm tone entirely when the alarm is activated, press any button except SNOOZE (B2). This
will turn off the alarm tone for 24 hours and it will be started again on the next day.
The alarm tone switches off automatically after two minutes if it has not been turned off before
then.
Troubleshooting
The clock does not synchronise or only has temporary reception:
• The distance to the DCF transmitter is too long or restricted by geographical conditions.
• Relocate the product; switch off interfering devices such as TV sets, computers or microwave ovens.
• Avoid a location in the vicinity of large metal surfaces, which may shield the radio signals. Windows with a
vapour deposited metal layer can also influence the signal reception.
• Place the clock near a window for synchronisation, and align the front or back side in the direction of
Frankfurt (Germany).
• Leave the clock switched on overnight to avoid atmospheric interference.
The displayed temperature value is not correct:
• The clock or the outdoor sensor is exposed to direct sunlight.
• The clock or the outdoor sensor is located too close to a heat source (heater, electronic device, etc.)
The device does not react when buttons are pressed, the display shows strange symbols, or the
display is blank:
• Press the RESET (B7) button with a pointed object (e.g. a ball pen tip). By doing so, the built-in micro
processor will be reset and restarted.
The display of the base station has spots:
• The display has been subjected to stress. The spots will disappear by themselves. This may take a while,
depending on the ambient temperature.
Maintenance and care
Apart from replacing the batteries, the device requires no maintenance. Only clean the exterior of the device
with a soft, dry cloth or a brush.
Never use caustic cleaning agents or chemical solutions, as they could damage the surface of the casing.
Do not press on the sensitive display surface.
Disposal
Electronic devices are recyclable waste materials and must not be disposed of in the household
waste!
Dispose of an unserviceable product in accordance with the relevant statutory regulations.
Remove the batteries if there are batteries inserted and dispose of them separately from the product.
