Entering latitude/longitude
It is necessary to state the location of the weather station in order to
calculate the sunset/sunrise times.
You can enter the latitude at a range of between –60.0° to +60.0°.
The manufacturer's setting is Berlin. You can determine your position
in different ways:
• in chapter 18 on page 32, you will find a table with the co-ordi-
nates of several German cities. Select a nearby location near and
enter its co-ordinates.
• if you have a GPS navigation device, e.g. in your car or a mobile
device, you can adopt its position details and thus the exact posi-
tion.
• you can also obtain the exact co-ordinates in the Internet. There
are numerous sites that deal with navigation.
Please observe the fact that the information concerning the sunrise /
sunset would only be correct to be exact at the sea of for complete-
ly level landscape. Mountains, high forests etc. will alter these values
for your location.
Even for the ideal situation, the information can deviate by some
minutes as an approximation formula is used for the calculation.

13. Maintenance and cleaning

a) General
Check the technical safety of the product regularly, e.g. damage to the housing.
It can be assumed that operation is no longer ensured without risk if
• the device shows visible damage
• the device is no longer functional
• after longer periods of storage under unfavourable conditions or
• after heavy transport stress
Before cleaning or servicing the device, observe the following safety instructions without fail:
Remove the batteries before cleaning, servicing or carrying out repair work.
There are no parts in the interior requiring servicing; the device may not be opened.
Repairs may only be carried out by a specialist who is familiar with the associated hazards
and relevant regulations for the device.
b) Cleaning base station
Dust can be removed very easily with a vacuum cleaner and a clean, soft brush. Keep the opening of the vac-
uum cleaner close to the base station (do not come into contact, scratching possible!) and remove the dust
with the brush. The dispersed dust will be sucked in by the vacuum cleaner.Use a soft, dry, lint-free cloth for
cleaning the exterior of the product.
For greater contamination, you can use a cloth slightly moistened with warm water.
Never use aggressive cleaners or chemical solutions as the surface of the device or its functionality could be
damaged as a result.
c) Cleaning outdoor sensors or combination sensor
After a longer period of operation in the open air, dirt can gather on the plastic surface of the outdoor sensors.
This can be removed very readily with a soft cloth which has been moistened with water.
Never spray the outdoor sensors with, for example, a garden hose as the outdoor sensors
are only protected against rain from above and not against water jets from the side or from
below.
The rain gauge should be monitored from time to time.
