Hazards for children ! ! Batteries can be life-endangering if swallowed. Therefore, keep the weather station, radio sensor and batteries out of reach of small children. If a battery has been swallowed, medical assistance must immediately be sought. Keep children away from packaging material and the small parts in the scope of delivery. Suffocation hazard if swallowed. Injury hazard ! ! Caution: Explosion hazard with improper handling of batteries.
! ! ! ! ! ! Remove the batteries from the base station and radio sensor, if they become depleted or if you are not using the weather station for a longer period of time. This way, you avoid damage that could result from leakage. Do not expose the batteries to any extreme conditions by e.g. laying them on a radiator or under direct sunlight. Increased leakage hazard! Clean the battery and appliance contacts prior to insertion, if required.

Radio sensor 1. Remove the battery compartment lid on the back of the radio sensor. 2. Insert two type R03 (AAA) / 1.5 V batteries, as shown on the base of the battery compartment. Pay attention to the correct polarity (+/-) of the batteries. 3. Reattach the battery compartment lid. Using additional radio sensors The weather station is supplied with one radio sensor. However, you can operate the weather station with up to three radio sensors.
Procedure: 1. Remove the battery compartment lid on the back of the radio sensors. 2. Set a dedicated sensor number for each radio sensor using the slide switches. 3. Reattach the battery compartment lids onto the radio sensors. 4. Keep the CHANNEL button pressed on the base station until the display for weather data OUT flashes. The base station will now access the weather data for all available radio sensors. Base station 1. Fold open the battery compartment lid. 2. Insert two type LR6 / 1.
2. Using the BARO- / BARO+ buttons, set the air pressure. Pay attention to what is shown in the display. 3. Then, press SET/BARO again. If you keep the BARO- / BARO+ pressed, the values move forward more quickly. About the time signal General The radio-controlled clock that is integrated into the weather station receives its radio signals from the time indicator signal MSF.
After this, the device switches to receiving, whereby the radio wave number shows the quality of the reception: The more radio waves are displayed, the better the reception. As soon as the signal is received with sufficient strength, the relevant data is shown in the display and the transmitter tower symbol is constantly displayed. This process can take a few minutes.
5. Press the MODE/SET. button to save the setting. The date flashes in the display. 6. Using the +/ or -/ /ZONE buttons, set the date. 7. Press the MODE/SET. button to save the setting. The hour flashes in the display. 8. Using the +/ or -/ /ZONE buttons, set the correct hour. 9. Press the MODE/SET. button to save the setting. The minute flashes in the display. 10. Using the +/ or -/ /ZONE buttons, set the correct minute. 11. Press the MODE/SET. button to save the setting.
In order to start the reception of the time signal manually, keep the -/ /ZONE button pressed until the radio signal symbol is displayed again and the weather station is switched to reception. Please note: ! If the reception was not successful, the reception symbol disappears after several minutes and the time in the display continues to run normally. ! With successful reception, the radio-controlled alarm clock sets itself to the time of the time signal transmitter.
Please note: ! The maximum allowable distance between the base station and the sensor is 100 metres. However, this range is only possible with "direct visible contact". ! Blocking building materials, e.g. reinforced concrete reduce or prevent radio reception between the base station and radio sensor. ! Devices, such as televisions, cordless telephones, computers and neon tubes can also disrupt the radio reception. ! Do not place the base station and radio sensor directly on the ground.

The weather station also has a frost alarm. For additional information on this, see page 30. Weather trend For the temperature and humidity values measured by the base station and radio sensor, the trend is shown in the form of an arrow. trend rising constant falling Temperature Humidity Air pressure The trend of the air pressure within the last 12 hours is displayed in the form of a bar diagram. The scale goes from -1 (1 hour ago) to -12 (12 hours ago).
The MAX and MIN values are continuously measured and stored. It is therefore not possible to manually delete these values. In conjunction with the weather forecast, see next chapter, other weather indications are possible. Two examples: ! Weather forecast shows rain, the air pressure is falling quickly and intensively >> strong rain is likely. ! Weather forecast shows rain, the air pressure has risen during the last 12 hours, but has fallen again during the last 3 hours >> light rain is likely.
cloudy rainy snowfall Frost warning - When the radio sensor measures a temperature of between + 1 °C and -1 °C, a risk of frost exists and a snowflake symbol flashes. If the temperature falls below -1 °C for a constant period of time, the snowflake symbol is displayed steadily. Please note: Even if the temperature alarm is not displayed, there is always a risk of frost/black ice with temperatures around freezing point. The outside sensor can only measure the local temperature at the installation site.
When the air pressure rises again, the symbols are displayed constantly again. In the top section, an arrow indicates the weather trend. If it points up or down, the air pressure has risen or fallen by more than 1 hPa within one hour.
Other functions Switch light on ! Press the LIGHT/SNOOZE button in order to switch on the display lighting for several seconds. Battery replacement display There is a battery change display for each of the base station and radio sensor. When the symbol for the battery change is displayed, the inserted batteries in the base station (symbol next to IN)/radio sensor (symbol next to OUT) need to be replaced with new ones. Then, proceed as described from page 10 .
Change degree of measurement for temperature The temperature can only be displayed in either °C or in °F on the base sensor and radio sensor. Base unit ! Keep the MIN/MAX button pressed for approx. 2 seconds, in order to change the displayed unit of measurement. Radio sensor 1. Open the battery panel on the back. 2. Press the C/F button 1x. Reset weather station If obviously incorrect values are being displayed, you should reset the weather station to its factory settings. 1.
In order to accelerate the data interchange between the weather station and radio sensor, you can keep CHANNEL pressed on the weather station until the display flashes and press the TX button on the appropriate radio sensor. With this, the weather data will be directly transmitted to the base station. Have time displayed in a different time zone The requirement for this is that you have also entered the time in a second time zone, see from page 14. 1.
In the western hemisphere, it is earlier than in Europe and in the eastern hemisphere, it is later. In the diagram, each vertical line represents one our more or one hour less (-). For example, if you intend to set the time for a country that is 7 hours east of your location, you must enter +7 (hours) as a value. Cleaning ! If required, wipe the weather station with a slightly dampened cloth. HELPLINE No. U K / N.IRELAND 0800 328 60 20 REP. IRELAND 00 800 44 67 58 88 WEB SUPPORT info@dariolondon.
Faults and rectification 36 Fault Possible causes and solution The MSF signal for the time cannot be received. - Check the location, see page 16. - Start the radio reception manually, if necessary, see page 15. - Set the time manually, see page 14. The temperature display of the sensor appears too high. - Check whether the sensor is exposed to direct sunlight. The weather station does not receive any sensor signals.
In the display, HH / LL is shown in the display instead of the measured values for temperature/ humidity. - The values are above/below the measurement range, see "Technical data". - The measured outside temperature is less than 0°C.
