Then place your transmitter in a dry location and route the outdoor sensor cable to a convenient

outside position.

Remarks:

The transmitter is for indoor use only and must not be placed outside.

The outdoor sensor cable should be routed outside through a window, door etc, ensuring that the

cable does not become trapped, as any damage to the cable is not covered by the manufacturer’s

warranty.

The outdoor sensor cable can be secured by the sticky pad provided or a screw (not provided).

The outdoor sensor cable must be positioned away from direct sunlight as this could result in an

inaccurate reading.

Remarks:

Keep in mind that your transmitter has a 30-meter open air transmission with no obstructions. Actual

transmission range will vary depending on what is in the path of the signal.

Each obstruction (roof, walls, floors, ceilings, thick trees, etc.) will effectively cut signal range in half.

Insert the holder into the bottom of the transmitter for desktop use or insert it into the back of the

transmitter for internal wall mount purpose

DCF SIGNAL RECEPTION AND SIGNAL INDICATOR

(The DCF77 signal is a radio time signal which operates across much of Central and Western Europe)

After your weather station is powered up, it starts to receive DCF signal. The icon flashes.

Weak or no DCF signal (only icon flashing)

Receiving strong DCF signal (

icon flashing)

Successful Reception ( icon becomes static)

Failed Reception (

icon disappear)

Remark: When your weather station is receiving radio controlled time signal, all buttons except the

snooze / light button will not function.

DCF TIME SIGNAL RECEPTION

Your weather station will automatically update itself to the exact time after receipt of the DCF time

code. The weather station will automatically attempt to receive the DCF signal every morning at 1:00

am, 2:00 am, 3:00 am, and 4: 00 am and onwards. If it receives the DCF signal at 3:00 am it will stop

receiving until 1: 00 am the next day.

To start DCF reception manually, press WAVE / – (°C/°F) button for 2 seconds. To stop DCF

reception, press and hold WAVE / – (°C/°F) for 2 seconds.

WEATHER FORECASTER ICON AND PRESSURE TREND INDICATOR

Your weather station has a built-in barometric sensor which measures the change of the air pressure

over time. Your weather station takes around 24 hours to gather average air- pressure readings to

provide a weather forecast for next 12-24 hours.

WEATHER ICONS

There are five possible types of weather icons that will be displayed:

SUNNY

SUNNY AND CLOUDY

(PARTLY SUNNY)

CLOUDY

RAINY

STORMY

FROST ALERT

Frost Alert Icon appears when outdoor temperature

is below +3°C

AIR PRESSURE TENDENCY INDICATORS

When the

arrow appears, the air pressure is increasing; the weather is expected to improve.

When the arrow appears, the air pressure is decreasing; the weather is expected to become

worse.

When the

arrow appears, the air pressure change is stable.

EN.7

AIR PRESSURE HISTORY BAR CHART

1. The bar chart indicates the air pressure history trend over the last 12 hours in 6 steps: 0h,

-1h, -2h, -3h, -6h and -12h.

2. The “0h” represents the current full hour air pressure recording.

3. The columns represent the “hPa” at specific time.

4. If the bars are rising, it means that the weather is getting better due to the increase of air

pressure.

5. If the bars go down, it means the air pressure has dropped and the weather is expected to

get worse from the present time “0h”.

Remarks: Moving your weather station from one floor of a building to another floor will affect the

accuracy of your weather station, which should operate at the same altitude all the time. If you move

it to a new location, it will take 12-24 hours to stabilise and be accurate again.

Our weather station provides the next 12-24 hours weather forecast. It may not match with the

current weather condition outside.

TEMPERATURE AND HUMIDITY TENDENCY INDICATORS

Appears when the current measured temperature / humidity is 1°C or 5% higher than

the last measurement of temperature and humidity

Appears when the current measured temperature / humidity is 1°C or 5% lower than the

last measurement of temperature and humidity

Appears when the current measured temperature is within +/-1°C or +/-5% from the last

measurement of temperature or humidity in the last 1 hour
