Specifications

6. The DCF-77 time code reception is automatically started just after the Weather
Station is activated. This takes typically between 3 - 5 minutes in good conditions.
This time period is an excellent opportunity to locate the transmitter(s) in suitable
location(s) outdoors. In order to ensure sufficient 433 MHz transmission however,
this should under good conditions be no more than 20 - 25 meters from where the
Weather Station will be finally positioned (see notes on “Positioning” and “433 MHz
Reception”).
7. If after 10 minutes the DCF time has not been received, use the SET key to
manually enter a time initially. The clock will automatically attempt each hour to
receive the DCF time. When this is successful, the received time will override the
manually set time.
Note:
Should the total time of inserting the batteries into the transmitters take longer than 1-1/2
minutes from the time of inserting the batteries into the Weather Station then temperature
reception problems may occur. If the temperature is not being received, then see Checking
for 433 MHz reception, before resetting the units (see Resetting the Weather Station
below).
In the event of changing batteries in any of the units, all units need to be reset by following
the setting up procedures. This is because the transmitter at start-up assigns a random
security code and this code must be received and stored by the Weather Station in the first
1-1/2 minutes of power being supplied to it.
BATTERY CHANGE:
It is recommended to replace the batteries in all units on an annual basis to ensure
optimum accuracy of these units.
Please participate in the preservation of the environment. Return used
batteries to an authorized depot.
