Information about the outdoor sensor:

The sensor is intended for wallmounting or tabletop use

and can be glued to a dry, clean surface with the included

double-sided tape (yellow side).

To test the signal transmission of the sensor, press the

"TX/RESET" button (B) on the back side of the sensor.

Unscrew the 4 screws on the back side of the sensor and

remove the back cover. Press the "TX/RESET" button for

3 seconds to restart the sensor. The sensor must now be

registered at the station.

The sensor transmits the temperature signal on the

frequency 433MHz and has a range of approx. 30m

outdoors. The transmission functions best if no obstacles

are between the station and the sensor (examples:

Thermopen glass, metal beams, brick walls).

If your station cannot receive the outdoor temperature,

please move the sensor closer to the station. It may also

become necessary to replace the batteries.

Possible problems:

The clock does not receive the time signal:

Please move your station to another position and consider

that an electrical appliance such as a PC, telephone, radio or

TV may cause electromagnetic interference that could

influence the reception of the time signal.

Other possible interferences for the reception: strong

building materials (metal), large landmasses (hills),

atmospheric interference.

It may also be necessary to replace the batteries.

If radio-signal reception is not possible at all, please set

the clock manually.

The outdoor temperature is not displayed:

Press and hold the "Zz/CHANNEL" button for 3 seconds

and then wait for 2 or 3 minutes.

Please position the sensor in a roofed area. It is weather

resistant but it should not come into direct contact with

water or sunlight.

The outdoor temperature is often lost:

Reduce the distance between the station and the sensor

(30m max. with clear line of sight and no obstacles)

Check the distance to possible sources of interference (at

least 1.5m to any phones, TV, radio computers etc.

Other appliances in neighboring houses that also use the

433MHz frequency may cause problems.

Check the placement of your station (proximity to metal

building parts, metal doors, concrete ie. cellar large highrise

building)

Should these measures remain unsuccessful please restart

both units as described on page 2.

Precision: +/ - 1C

Transmission range: max. 30m in open terrain

3 Channels: connect up to 3 sensors

Temperature transmission frequency:

wireless transmission at 433MHz

Time signal: DCF 77 radio signal

Instruction manual:

Your temperature station should not be exposed to

humiditiy or direct sunlight.

Please remove the battery interrupter first to activate your

temperature station.

The unit is now operational.

During the first 4-5 minutes your temperature station will

attempt to receive the signal from the outdoor sensor. The

radio waves in the display will blink (D1) adjacent to the

channel display. The radio tower will appear without radio

waves.

Position the sensor and the station side by side. Now

insert the batteries into the sensor within the next 2

minutes. Unscrew the 4 screws on the back side of the

sensor, remove the back cover and insert the batteries in

the correct polarity. Please take care not to remove the

rubber gasket that runs along the outside of the case.

Replace the back cover and tighten the 4 screws.

Channel 1 will now be registered and the outdoor

temperature will appear in the display (D1). Channels 2

and 3 may be set in the same way, if you wish to install

additional outdoor sensors.

A registered Channel will not receive any additional

sensors.

If you have multiple sensors connected to your station,

you may cycle through them by pressing the

"Zz/CHANNEL" button. When a round arrow is displayed

the station will autocycle through all available sensors.

-Your temperature station will now attempt to receive the

radio time signal and the reception signal will appear

partially on the display (D4).

Stopping the alarm:

When the alarm sounds, it may be deactivated by

pressing "ALARM". The alarm will switch off automatically

after 5 minutes if no button is pressed.

To completely deactivate the alarm, press "SET/RESET"

deactivate disappears. The bell symbols on the display

D4 will show activated alarm times.

Viewing the alarm times:

To view the first alarm time press the "ALARM" button 1x.

To view the second alarm time, press "ALARM" again

and return to normal time display by pressing "ALARM"

once more (the display automatically returns to normal

time if no button is pressed for more than 8 seconds).

Snooze function:

To activate the snooze function press "Zz/CHANNEL" upon

hearing the alarm. The bell symbol and Zz on the display will

blink. After 5 minutes the alarm will sound again.

To deactivate the snooze function, press "SELECT"; The

bell symbol will stop blinking.

Temperature display:

The arrow in the display (D1) shows if the outdoor

temperature has risen within the last hour by more than 1

degree (arrow points upward), fallen (arrow points

downward) or remained constant (arrow straight).

Battery low indicator / battery replacement:

The battery low indicator will appear in the display (D1) when

the batteries of the sensor need to be replaced. Unscrew the

4 screws on the back side of the sensor, remove the back

cover and insert 2 AAA batteries in the correct polarity.

Please take care not to remove the rubber gasket that runs

along the outside of the case. Replace the back cover and

tighten the 4 screws.

To register the sensor please press "Zz/CHANNEL" for 3

seconds until flashing dashes appear in place of the outside

temperature and channel number. The station will now

attempt to register the sensor.

Minimum and maximum temperatures:

Once set up, your station seperately saves the maximum

and minimum temperatures for each sensor and the

station itself. These values my be reset at any time.

-Pressing "SELECT" 1x displays the stored max.

temperature

-Pressing "SELECT" 2x displays the stored min.

temperature

-Pressing "SELECT" 3x returns to normals time display

-To delete a max. or min. temperature, press

"SET/RESET" while viewing the temperature. The station

will return to normal time display mode.

The battery symbol in row 2 (D2) displays the battery power

of the station. To replace the batteries, open the battery

compartment and insert new batteries (2 x 1.5V AA) in the

correct polarity.

Please dispose of the batteries in the appropriate

containers. Batteries should not be disposed of in the

regular trash.
