WARNING!
The displays for time and date in Central Europe are
transferred via DCF-77 radio signals. The transmitter
is close to Frankfurt and transmits on a transmission
radius of approximately 1500 km. If your weather
station receives this signal, it is not necessary to
switch to and from daylight savings time.
The reception quality can be restricted by the geo-
graphical location (e.g. deep valleys) or structural
conditions (e.g. behind concrete walls).
Electromagnetic fields can also have a negative in-
fluence on signal (DCF) reception. Position the
weather station and the external sensor in a suitable
location. Follow the instructions listed under “DCF-77
synchronisation” to switch on the transmission signal
again.
