• Switch on all potential sources of interference (e.g. television) in the area that you want to install the station
during the test!
• Position the device in the location, oriented as you prefer, but at least one meter from the possible source of
interference.
• Activate test mode as described.
• Monitor the reception display on the weather station. If you have found a location that has good reception,
you can leave the device there and it will retrieve data automatically from the transmitter.
Note!
• The time and date appear within a few minutes. Local outside temperature will appear just after the set up
(see detail below).
• The transfer of larger quantities of data for the forecast takes much longer: In order to receive all data, the
station requires 24 hours after start-up.
POSSIBLE SOURCES OF INTERFERENCE
Interferences as with a radio transmitter can occur and could be caused by the following influences:
• In buildings with a lot of concrete, metal parts and electrical systems, reception problems can occur (e.g.
Mall).
• Electrical devices such as television, computer, house-hold devices, etc. or transformers, land lines, radio
transmitters and railways are possible direct sources of interference.
• Atmospheric influences and geographical features (mountains, etc.) can affect the propagation of the radio
waves.
• The distance from the transmitter does also influence the reception. Areas such as Southern Italy or
Northern Scandinavia are also critical areas because of the great distances from the transmitter.
• In all regions, so-called “dead spots” can occur making reception impossible.
• Weak batteries in the device decrease the quality of reception.
COMMISSIONING AND CONFIGURATION
Inserting batteries/Changing batteries
• Open the transmitter batteries compartment and insert 2 LR3/ Micro/ AAA batteries (respecting polarities)
• Open the battery compartment at the rear of the weather station and insert the three batteries (LR6/ Mignon/
AA), ensuring proper polarity, into the battery compartment.
Note!
Within 1 minute, the weather station shoud receive the outdoor temperature data. If this does not happen after 1
minute, the batteries need to be removed from both units and reset.
When disposing of dead batteries, see note on the disposal information.
Note!
All internal data is deleted when you change the batteries. The configuration parameters (weather region,
time zone and contrast) must be entered again (see the following chapter). Receiving all weather data
requires a period of at least 24 hours.
