This section will provide you with a brief summary of the main functions of the SM1660 by

explaining the information displayed onscreen.

19

English

1. Symbols representing the weather forecast

Animated symbols representing the weather forecast for the next 12 to 24 hours are displayed in

this section of the screen:

Sun, Clouds, Rain,

Thunder, Snow (icon ashes) or

frost alert (icon remains solid).

2. Day of the week display

The SM1660 automatically sets the day of the week (in English only).

3. Displaying the time

With the SM1660, there is no need to set the time and date! It will always provide you with the

exact time and even takes into account the daylight saving time. It receives the DCF77 radio signal

from Frankfurt or the MSF of Greenwich and can thus automatically synchronize its clock.

4. Displaying the daylight saving icon

The DST icon is automatically displayed when daylight saving is in force in Europe.

5. Displaying Clock 1

The SM1660 offers two clocks represented by the icons “Clock 1” and “Clock 2”. Clock 1 is the

main clock, which is set automatically. Clock 2 is useful if you often travel overseas or if you wish

to know the exact time in another country on a regular basis. Once set, this second clock will

instantaneously provide you with the time, thus not requiring any mental calculations on your part!

6. Displaying the radio controlled clock

The xed icon in the tower indicates that the radio controlled time is activated. The weather station

synchronizes the hour and the date automatically.

7. Displaying the date and month

The date (DAY) and month (MONTH) is automatically displayed here.

20

English

8. Icons of Alarms 1 and 2

The SM1660 offers 2 programmable alarms. When an alarm has been set, an icon representing a

bell is displayed here.

9. Displaying the moon phases

The moon phase is automatically updated here as per the year, month and day.

10. Displaying the time of the sunrise and the sunset

The time of the sunrise and the sunset is automatically updated according to the day of the year

and the latitude of your home town. In order for the weather station to provide you with an

accurate weather forecast, you will need to indicate the code of your town or the city closest to

you.

11. Low battery indicator

If the batteries of the remote sensor are low, this icon will be displayed on the main unit. When the

lighting of the LCD screen of the main unit begins to fade, this indicates that the batteries are low

and must be replaced.

12. Remote channels 1, 2, 3, 4

This weather station is delivered with a remote sensor. You can, however, purchase 1, 2 or 3

additional remote sensors to measure the temperature and humidity in another place or room.

Each remote sensor is linked to a channel. You can access the readings obtained by each remote

sensor by pressing the “Channel” key found at the top of the weather station. The number of the

corresponding channel is displayed here.

Note: If you do not have additional sensors, please do not take this function into account.

13. Outdoor temperature and humidity display

Due to its wireless sensor, the station can detect the temperature and humidity outdoors from a

distance. The readings are displayed here. The room temperature and the rate of humidity are

automatically displayed in turn.

14. Outdoor temperature and humidity trend

The arrow icons provide the outdoor temperature and humidity trends in half-hour intervals. The

arrow indicates an upward trend while the arrow indicates a stable trend and the

arrow indicates a downward trend.

21

English

15. Indoor temperature and humidity display

The readings of outdoor temperature and humidity are recorded by the main unit and displayed

here. The indoor temperature and humidity are automatically displayed in turn.

16. Indoor temperature and humidity trend

This icon indicates the trends of the inside temperature and humidity in half-hour intervals.

The arrow indicates an upward trend; the arrow indicates a stable trend and

indicates a downward trend.

17. Pressure bar graph

This bar chart indicates the atmospheric pressure trend over a 12-hour period. The variation scale

is +/- 3 Hecto Pascal (hPa). Why refer to this bar chart? Generally, bad weather is associated

to a low atmospheric pressure and good weather to a high atmospheric pressure. The weather

forecast provided by the SM1660, using animated icons, thus depends on the evolution of the

atmospheric pressure. Therefore, if the weather station announces rain and you observe a sudden

and signicant fall in the bar chart readings, you can expect the rain to be strong and violent.

18. Displaying the atmospheric pressure

This weather station measures atmospheric pressure in Hecto Pascal and in real time.

Step 1 – Setting the radio-controlled zone of the clock

• Set the MSF/OFF/DSF switch, found at the back of the main unit, on DSF for use in

France, Spain, Italy and Germany.

• Set the switch on MSF for use in the United-Kingdom, Ireland and Portugal.

• Set the switch on OFF for use outside the GMT 0 and GMT 1 zones. If you do not live in Europe

(or if you live outside of the France and England time zones), the SM1660 will not be able to

receive the time automatically. You will thus need to set the time manually (See page 29).

Step 2 – Inserting the batteries

• Insert 3 AA/LR6 batteries into the battery compartment found at the back of the main unit.

Close the lid of the compartment.

• Unscrew the lid of the battery compartment found at the back of the wireless sensor.

Insert 2 AAA/LR03 batteries. Replace the lid of the compartment using a screwdriver.

• If you have not purchased additional sensors you will not need to set the remote sensor. Do not

press the and keys. If you wish to set more than one sensor onto your main unit, please

refer to the paragraph entitled “Multiple sensor use”.

Step 3 – Setting up the main unit and the remote sensor

• Place the remote sensor outside. It can also be wall-mounted.

• Pull out the main unit’s table stand, and place it on a smooth surface. It can also be

wall-mounted.

search once more by holding the key down for 3 seconds.

Reminder: the SM1660 will only receive the signal if you live in Europe (within the France and

England time zones).

• Ensure that the main unit displays the outdoor temperatures and rate of humidity transmitted by

the sensor. Your new weather station is now ready for use.

Throughout the 28 days of the lunar month, the aspect of the moon changes.

Indeed, the moon, being spherical, is always half lightened up by the sun.

As the moon rotates around the Earth, the appearance of its lightened side

changes continuously. This phenomenon creates moon phases. The moon

phase on your MeteoClock is automatically updated according to the

year/ month/day.

MOON PHASES

TIME OF SUNRISE AND SUNSET

The time of the sunrise and the sunset depends on the angle of the earth’s axis and the movement

of the planet around its orbit. Your MeteoClock

®

SM1660 station provides you with the exact time

of the sunrise and the sunset in your city! This weather station actually calculates the time of the

sunrise and the sunset according to the time of the year as well as the latitude and time zone of

your city.

CLOCK MANUAL SETTING

30

English

Batteries

If the sensor is exposed to extreme temperatures for an extended period of time, the range of

transmission of the data may be affected.

Setting up the remote sensors

The remote sensors must be xed on a smooth surface to ensure that there are no interferences

in the data transmission range. The sensor and main unit must not be set up on or near a large

metallic surface. Before setting up the sensor at a chosen location, ensure that the main unit

receives the signals from this site. It is also recommended that the sensor be placed as close to

the main unit as possible in order to avoid any interferences.

Weather Forecast

We cannot guarantee absolute precision with regards the weather forecast. The weather forecast

function has a 75% precision rate due to it being created to suit a variety of environments.

IMPORTANT NOTICE

Problem:

1. The main unit cannot receive radio control DCF-77 or MSF signals to update the clock.

2. Temperature reading of outdoor remote sensor seems too high.

3. Receiver is no longer receiving remote sensor signals or display.

4. An abnormal operation has been observed and certain functions do not work.

Solution:

1. Place the clock away from metal objects or electrical appliances such as TVs, computers,

monitors, etc. Trigger the scan manually by holding the MIN- key for 3 seconds.

2. Wait a few minutes to ensure the remote sensor and receiver are in phase. Otherwise,

re-synchronize receiver by holding the CHANNEL key for 3 seconds until a beep is heard.

3. Ensure the remote sensor is out of direct sunlight, and away from sources of heat.
