14. Troubleshooting

With this weather station, you purchased a product built to the state of the art and operationally
safe. Nevertheless, problems or errors may occur. The following contains descriptions for the
removal of possible interference.
No reception of the outdoor sensor signal
• The distance between weather station and outdoor sensor is too large. Change the
installation site of the weather station or outdoor sensor.
• Objects or shielding materials (metallised insulated glass windows, reinforced concrete,
etc.) interfere with radio reception. The weather station is too close to other electronic
devices (TV, computer). Change the installation site of the weather station or outdoor
sensor.
• The outdoor sensor batteries are weak or flat. Try inserting new batteries in the outdoor
sensor. Observe Chapter 13.
• The safety code of the outdoor sensor and weather station do not match. Remove the
batteries from the weather station and the outdoor sensor and proceed as described in
chapters 9. a) and b).
• Very low outdoor temperatures (less than -20 °C) decrease battery and in particular
rechargeable battery performance.
• Another transmitter on the same or adjacent frequency interferes with the outdoor sensor
radio signal. It may be helpful to reduce the distance between the weather station and
outdoor sensor.
No DCF Reception
• The weather station is installed close to other electronic devices or close to electrical lines
or metal parts.
Buildings made of reinforced concrete, metal-coated insulating glass windows and setup in
a basement also prevent good reception of the DCF signal.
• The DCF reception is best at night, when there are least interferences by electronic devices
(e.g. TVs or computers are off).
Just wait for the next day; the weather station should display the DCF time and date then.
