G Operating instruction
PLEASE READ BEFORE YOU BEGIN
Your new weather station is different from conventional weather
stations that only measure the prevailing weather conditions.
Instead, the information provided by this weather station is based
on METEOTIME data, which is compiled daily by highly quali ed
meteorologists using state-of-the-art instruments.
The weather station was designed so that it can receive the coded
METEOTIME signal which transfers the weather information.
The data is sent via the radio time signal transmitter DCF77 (in
Germany). The weather station is therefore also a radio-controlled
clock with all the familiar advantages, such as the exact time and
automatic changeover from winter to summer time.
You can receive weather forecasts for 60 meteorological regions in
Europe up to 4 days in advance and a 2-day forecast for a further
30 regions.
HOW DO I ACHIEVE GOOD RECEPTION?
Similar to mobile phone networks or TV and radio reception,
weather stations may not always have reception everywhere. It is
therefore essential that you observe the following instructions to
ensure that your device works properly.
A suitable location is extremely important for the weather station.
For this reason, the weather station is equipped with an innovative
test function (TEST button) that allows you to check the quality of
the reception in your environment in order to place the device in the
most suitable location.
To determine the quality of the reception, test the weather station
according to the instructions in the manual. To do this, switch on all
possible sources of interference in the room where you want to set
up the device (e.g. the television). Then place the weather station
in the desired location and align it as desired. Keep a minimum
distance of one metre from potential sources of interference.
Observe the GOOD RECEPTION or POOR RECEPTION symbol
on the screen. When you have found the suitable location
for good reception, leave the Meteotime weather station
there so that the required data can be received via the
radio signal. Within a few minutes, the time and date
are displayed. However, receiving very large amounts of
data (forecast for all regions and days) takes signi cantly
longer. Up to 24 hours are required from the rst start-up
to receive all data.
