Getting Started; Back-Up Battery - Tfa View Meteo Bedienungsanleitung

5. Getting started

y Place the base station and the transmitter on a table at a distance of about 1.5 meters from each other.
Remove the protective film from the base station display
y
5.1 Starting the devices
Temperature-humidity transmitter: Open the battery compartment (Fig.4-D) of the temperature-humidity transmitter and insert two new AA
y
1.5 V batteries. Make sure the polarities are correct. Close the battery cover again.
y Base station: Connect the supplied power adapter to the mains and then to the base station (Fig.3-D). The device will alert you with a
beep and all segments will be displayed for a short moment.
y After a few seconds, the station greets you with HALLO (hello) and displays the first item of the settings menu.
If you want to use the station generally/for the time being without an online connection, you can now make all settings and adjustments
y
manually (see comprehensive description at point 6.1, the following point 5.2 can then be skipped).
If you prefer to connect the station to the Internet straightaway, most of the settings will be made automatically. In this case,
y
we recommend ignoring the settings menu for now (the device automatically exits the setting menu if no button is pressed
for 10 seconds).
The measured values of the transmitter are received by the base station and shown in the display within the first 10 minutes.
y
5.2 Connect the station to the Internet
Download the free TFA VIEW App from the "Apple App Store" or "Google Play Store".
y
After you have created an account and started the app, select „Devices" in the menu. There you can add, remove or sort devices on the
y
App. You can add devices with the „Add device" button in the iOS app or the blue „+" button in the Android app.
y Now follow the instructions and steps exactly as given by the app.

CAUTION:
y During the connection process, you will be instructed to switch to the smartphone/tablet settings and briefly connect directly to the
station in order to transfer the previously collected network data. Please do not close the app when doing this! Only put the app in
the background and put it back in the foreground after the Wi-Fi connection with the station.
The station only operates via 2,4GHz. Operation with a Wi-Fi network in dual-band mode (2.4 GHz & 5 GHz simultaneously) is also
y
possible. However, if there are any problems during the connection process, it is recommended to adjust the settings of the Wi-Fi
network and temporarily use only 2.4GHz during the integration process.
After successfully finishing all the steps regarding the online connection in the app, it will only take a few minutes until the correct time
y
and date are set fully automatically on your VIEW station and professional weather data is received.
The readings from your VIEW station will be displayed in the app after a few minutes. Transmitters that were already connected to the VIEW
y
station before the Wi-Fi connection will be suggested as additional devices in the notification area of the app after a few minutes, in order
to add them in the app as well.
If a transmitter is added subsequently (or was not automatically detected in the course of the connection process), select "Devices" in
y
device management on the app menu. Here you can also scan and add individual transmitters. These are received by the VIEW station
and forwarded to the server/app.
Further information about the Wi-Fi connection can be found in the user manual under point 6.6.

5.3 Back-up battery

The 3x AA 1,5V batteries will operate as a backup power source in case of power failure or change of location. In pure battery operation,
y
a short-term display of the local measured values and activation of the display illumination (10 sec.) is possible by pressing any key.
For permanent display illumination and Wi-Fi function, use the supplied power adapter.
y
Open the battery compartment, insert 3 new batteries AA 1.5 V, polarity as illustrated and close the battery compartment again.
