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 is designed to receive the coded METEOTIME signal which
is used to transmit 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.
