• The time and date are displayed within a few minutes. However, receiving the very
large amounts of data with the forecast for all regions and days requires up to 24
hours from the initial start-up until all data is received.
• After successful reception of the time and date signal, the display shows FRM
(Frankfurt am Main) as the location for the info window. For information on
changing the country and location, see below.
• If the device has successfully received the Meteotime signal, the Meteotime
symbol is displayed next to the respective day of the week.

Note - faulty transmission of the measured values
• In some cases, interference caused by a WiFi network, computer, TV, etc., for
example, may cause the transmission of measured values between the base
station and the outdoor sensor to fail.
• If this happens, resynchronise the stations by brie y removing the batteries
from both stations and reinserting them.
• If the measured values are not transmitted again, replace the batteries with
new ones.
• If necessary, choose a new location for the base station to avoid the possible
interference signals in the future.
Note
You can use the TEST function to search for a better location.
Take the device in your hand to nd a suitable location. Press the TEST button (D) to
check the quality of the Meteotime signal/DCF signal. The signal strength is displayed
as a value from T-1 (very poor) to T-9 (very good). The TEST takes about one minute.
You can restart or stop the test at any time by pressing the TEST button (D).
If no signal is received on a repeated basis, press and hold the DOWN button (F) for
around 3 seconds to start the manual search for the DCF signal. The radio signal (2)
starts to ash.
Note - setting the time
• The search process takes about 5 minutes. If this fails, the search is terminated and
repeated at the top of the next hour. The radio symbol (2) disappears.
• Meanwhile, you can make a manual setting of the time and date.
• The clock automatically continues to search for the DCF signal daily. Once the signal
is received successfully, the manually set time and date are overwritten.
Press and hold the DOWN button (F) again for around 3 seconds to end the manual
search process.
Note - summertime
The time adjusts automatically to summertime. While summertime is active, DST (1)
appears on the display.
7.2 Connection to the outdoor sensor
• After the batteries are inserted, the base station automatically searches for a
connection to the outdoor sensor and carries out the initial setup routine.
Note
• Initial setup takes around 3 minutes.
• During the connection attempt, the radio signal on the base station (22)
ashes.
• Avoid any operation of the buttons during this time! Otherwise, errors and
inaccuracies may occur in the values and their transmission.
• The process is nished as soon as the indoor and outdoor measurement data
(23/27/34/36) are displayed.
If no signal is received from the outdoor sensor on a repeated basis, press and hold
the CHANNEL button (B) for approx. 3 seconds to start the manual search for the
signal.
