16. Troubleshooting

In purchasing the weather station, you have acquired a product which has been designed to the state of the art and
is operationally reliable. Nevertheless, problems and faults might occur. For this reason, the following is a description
of how you can eliminate possible malfunctions yourself.
Observe all safety instructions in these operating instructions!
Problem

the outdoor sensors
No DCF reception
106
Remedy
• The distance between weather station (or the second receiver unit) and
outdoor sensors is too large. Change the installation site of the devices.
• Perform a manual sensor search.
• Objects or shielding materials interfere with radio reception. The same
applies to other electronic devices, e.g. televisions or computers. Change
the installation site of the outdoor sensors and the weather station/
second receiver unit.
• The batteries of the outdoor sensors are weak or empty. Insert new
batteries into the outdoor sensors.
• A different transmitter on the same or an adjacent frequency interferes
with the radio signal of the outdoor sensors. This might be e.g. radio-
controlled headphones, radio-controlled speakers or similar devices.
Such products are usually not in use all the time; the radio reception may
be faultless the next day, for example, which makes a search for the
cause more difficult.
• Change the installation site of the weather station or second receiver unit.
Keep a sufficient distance to electronic devices, metal parts and cables.
Do not operate the weather station or second receiver unit in a basement.
• Perform a manual DCF signal search at the weather station or second
receiver unit.
