10. Initial operation
a) General Information
Please note:
Insert the batteries in the outdoor sensor first and only then into the weather
station.
If you proceed in a different sequence it may happen that the weather station
does not recognize the outdoor sensor! In this case, you can perform a manual
search for the outdoor sensor later on.
If you want to try the weather station and the outdoor sensor out e.g. in a room when you first
use it, you should not place the outdoor sensor directly next to the weather station. Otherwise,
there might be reception problems due to radio interference. Maintain a distance of at least 1
m between the weather station and the outdoor sensor.
This function test makes sure that later reception problems can be attributed to the arrangement
of weather station and outdoor sensor(s).
The range in free field is up to 30m (without any sources of interference, direct view between
outdoor sensor and weather station). The effectively achievable range in buildings is, of
course, smaller and is approx. 10-20m, depending on the design and installation location.
Please note the chapter "Range".
b) Initial operation of the outdoor sensor
• Open the battery compartment of the outdoor sensor by unscrewing the four screws of the
battery compartment on the back with a suitable screwdriver.
• Insert 2 size batteries type AA/mignon observing the correct polarity (observe plus/+ and
minus/-).
• Replace the cover of the battery compartment again and screw it down firmly.
