4. Getting started
• Place the base station and the outdoor transmitter on a desk with a distance of
approximately 1.5 meter. Avoid getting close to possible interference sources
(Electronic devices and radio installations).
• Remove the protective foil from the display of the base station.
• Open the battery compartment of the base station and insert two new batteries 1.5
V AA, polarity as illustrated. Close the battery compartment again.
• Open the battery compartment of the outdoor transmitter.
• For the first outdoor transmitter set the CH 1/2/3 switch to number one.
• Insert two new batteries 1,5 V AA, polarity as illustrated. On the display appear the
outdoor temperature and humidity in sequence and the channel number 1. The
signal lamp will be flashing.
• Press at first the RESET button on the base station by using a pointed object and
press than the RESET button in the battery compartment of the outdoor transmit-
ter. Close the battery compartment of the outdoor transmitter again.
• The indoor temperature and humidity will be displayed on the base
station and the base station will now scan the outdoor temperature and humidity.
The reception symbol will be flashing. If the reception is successful on the display
appear the outdoor values and the set canal number.
• If the reception of outdoor temperature and humidity fails, "- -" appears on the
display. Check the batteries and try it again. Check if there is any source of inter-
ference.

• You can start the initialization manually. Press the SENSOR button on the base
station.
4.1. Radio-controlled time reception
• After approximately 5 minutes after the installation of the batteries, the clock will
scan the DCF frequency signal and the DCF symbol will be flashing. When the time
code is received successfully after 6-16 minutes, the radio-controlled time and the
DCF symbol are displayed steadily in the LCD.
• You can also start the initialization manually.
• Press the RCC button.
• The DCF symbol will be flashing.
• Interrupt the reception by pressing the RCC button again for three seconds. The
DCF symbol disappears.
• The DCF reception always take place at 2:00 am, 8:00 am, 14.00 pm and 20.00 pm
o'clock. If the reception is not successfully received at 2:00 clock, it shall be held
further attempts at 3.00 am and 4.00 am.
• If the clock cannot detect the DCF-signal (for example due to disturbances, trans-
mitting distance, etc.), the time can be set manually. The DCF symbol disappears
and the clock will then work as a normal quartz clock. (see: Manual setting of the
clock).
4.1.1 Note for radio-controlled time DCF
The time base for the radio-controlled time is a caesium atomic clock operated by the
Physikalisch Technische Bundesanstalt Braunschweig. It has a time deviation of less
than one second in one million years. The time is coded and transmitted from Main-
flingen near Frankfurt via frequency signal DCF-77 (77.5 kHz) and has a transmitting
range of approximately 1,500 km. Your radio-controlled clock receives this signal
and converts it to show the precise time. Changeover from summer time or winter
time is automatic. In Daylight Saving Time "DST" is shown on the LCD. The quality
of the reception depends mainly on the geographic location. Normally there should
be no reception problems within a 1,500 km radius around Frankfurt.
Please take note of the following:
• The recommended distance to any interfering sources like computer monitors or
TV sets is at least 1.5 - 2 meters.
• Inside ferro-concrete rooms (basements, superstructures), the received signal is
naturally weakened. In extreme cases, please place the unit close to a window to
improve the reception.
