6. Operation

Note – Input
Hold down the CH+ button (13) or the MEM– button (17) to
select the values faster.
6.1. Connection to the measuring station
• After you insert the batteries, the base station automatically
searches for a connection to the measuring station and performs
initial setup.
Note
• Initial setup takes approx. 5 minutes.
• During connection, the wireless symbol on the measuring
station radio symbol will flash (7).
• Do not press any buttons during setup. Otherwise, values
may not be transmitted correctly and there is a risk of value
errors and inaccuracies.
• The setup process is completed when the indoor (2, 3) and
outdoor (8, 9) measurement data is displayed.
• If the base station still does not receive a signal from the
measuring station, press the SENSOR button (15) to start the
manual search for the signal. During the connection attempt, the
measuring station radio symbol (7) will flash.
• During the manual search, press and hold the SENSOR button
(15) for approx. 3 seconds to end the search. The radio symbol
(7) disappears.
6.2. Selecting the channel/other measuring stations
Note
• You can install two more measuring stations in addition to
the included measuring station. Ensure that the base and
measuring stations are set to the same channel.
Visit www.hama.com for suitable measuring stations.
• Press the CH+ button (13) repeatedly to set the channel to that
set on the respective measuring station – see 4.1. Measuring
station. Either 1, 2 or 3 (11) is displayed.
• The base station now shows the data measured (8, 9) on the
selected measuring station (11).
• Press and hold the CH+ button (13) to select the channel scan.
The measurement values of the individual measuring stations/
channels (11) are displayed consecutively for 4 seconds each.
• Press the CH+ button (13) again to return to normal mode.

6.3. Basic and manual settings
Automatic setting using the DCF signal
After the first time the base station is switched on and successful
transmission is established between the base station and the
measuring station, the clock will automatically search for a DCF
signal. During the search, the wireless symbol (5) will flash.
When the radio signal is received, the date and time are
automatically set.

Note – Time settings
• If, during initial setup of the device, a DCF radio signal is not
received within the first few minutes, the search is aborted.
The radio symbol disappears.
• If there are reception problems, we recommend leaving
the clock to sit overnight, since interference is generally
less at night.
• In the meantime, you can start a manual search for the DCF
radio signal at another location or you can manually set the
time and date.
• The clock automatically continues to search for the DCF
radio signal on a daily basis (2:00 a.m., 8:00 a.m., 2:00
p.m. and 8:00 p.m.). If the signal is received successfully, the
manually set time and date are overwritten.
