Choosing The Installation Location; Possible Sources Of Interference - DNT WF Future4 pro Bedienungsanleitung

3. Choosing the installation location

Similar to a mobile telephone network or radio/TV reception, the reception
of the radio-time receiver may not be perfect in all locations. Just a couple
of notes to make sure that your device works with no problems.
The location of the weather station is very important. This is the reason for
the new test function that allows the quality of reception to be checked in
the surrounding area and to position the device in a location that has the
best possible conditions.
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.
The time and date appear within a few minutes.
The transfer of larger quantities of data for the forecast take
much longer: In order to receive all data, the station requires 24
hours after start-up.

4. Possible sources of interference

Interferences as with a radio transmitter can occur and could be caused
by the following infl uences:
In buildings with a lot of concrete, metal parts and electrical sys-
tems, 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 infl uences and geographical features (mountains, etc.)
can affect the propagation of the radio waves.
