• The display for the altitude of your place of residence flashes at the lower left of the
display. Set the altitude with the „+" and „-" buttons (e.g. 400 m). Keep the respective
button pressed for quick adjustment.
If no button is pushed for several seconds, the weather station will start scanning for
the available outdoor sensors (one is enclosed, up to two more can be ordered as
accessories).
The reception symbol (23) for the radio signal of the outdoor sensors flashes in the
display. The sensor search takes about 3 minutes. Do not move the weather station
and outdoor sensor during this time and do not push any button.
• After the search for the available outdoor sensors is completed, the weather station
starts its search for the DCF signal. The radio tower symbol (5) for DCF reception
flashes.
The DCF signal search will take several minutes. Do not move the weather station
during this time and do not press any button.
Do not put the weather station next to electronic devices, metal parts, cables,
etc. Bad reception can also be expected, e.g. in case of metallised insulation
glass windows, reinforced concrete construction, coated special wallpaper or
basement rooms.
The DCF signal is a signal that is sent by a transmitter
in Mainflingen (near Frankfurt on the Main). Its
range is up to 1500 km, and under perfect reception
conditions even up to 2000 km.
Among others, the DCF signal contains the precise
time and date.
Of course, the tedious switching between summer
and winter time manually can also be dispensed
with.
• If the weather station has properly read the DCF signal, the current time (4), date (1),
month (2) and weekday (3) will appear. The radio tower symbol (5) stops flashing.
During daylight savings time, a small symbol „S" (19) appeas to the left of the
time.
