5. Getting started
• Remove all packaging materials, any protective films and transport locks that may be present.
5.1 Insert the batteries
• Place the base station and the transmitter on a table at a distance of about 1.5 meters from each other. Avoid being close to possible
sources of interference such as electronic devices and radio equipment.
5.1.1 Rain and temperature transmitter
• Open the two tabs on each side of the transmitter and lift the funnel portion off the base.
• Release the two inner tabs and lift the measuring unit off the base. The battery compartment is located at the bottom of the device.
Insert two new AA 1,5 V batteries into the battery compartment. Make sure the polarities are correct (see marking +/-).
• Reassemble all parts. The tabs are properly inserted into the brackets, if you hear a click.
5.1.2 Base station
•
Open the base station battery compartment and insert two new AA 1.5V batteries. Make sure the polarities are correct (see marking +/-).
• The device will alert you with a beep and all LCD segments will be displayed for a short moment.
• The indoor temperature appears on the display.
5.2 Outdoor values reception
• After the batteries are inserted, the measuring values of the transmitter will be transmitted to the base station.
• The base station will scan for 3 minutes the outdoor values of the transmitter. The reception symbols of the temperature and rain
sensors are flashing. If reception is successful, the outdoor values are permanently displayed.
• The outdoor temperature appears on the display.
• The rainfall amount (initially 0.0 mm) is displayed. To simulate values, move the rocker (transmission time rain sensor: 45 seconds). If
the reception of the outdoor values fails within three minutes, “- - -” remains on the display. Check the batteries and try it again. Check
if there is any source of interference.

• You can also start the outdoor transmitter search manually later (e.g. if the transmitter signal is lost or if the batteries are changed).
Press and hold the HIST/UP button for three seconds. The registered transmitter will be cancelled (display - - -). The reception sym-
bols of the temperature and rain sensors are flashing and the base station will scan the outdoor values.
5.3 Reception of the DCF frequency signal
• After the reception of the outdoor values, the clock will now scan the DCF frequency signal and the DCF reception symbol flashes on
the display.
• When the time code is successfully received after 3-7 minutes, the radio-controlled time, the date and the DCF reception symbol will
be shown steadily on the display. In Daylight Saving Time DST is shown on the display.
• The DCF reception always takes place at 1:00 and 2:00 o'clock in the morning. If the reception was not successfully received, fur-
ther attempts will be taken at 3:00, 4:00 and 5:00 o'clock.
• You can also activate the DCF reception manually. Press and hold the DOWN button for 3 seconds. The DCF reception symbol flashes.
• The device cannot be operated during the DCF time-signal reception (except DOWN button).
• If you want to interrupt the reception, press the DOWN button again for three seconds.
• There are 3 different reception symbols:
flashing symbol – reception is active
solid – reception is successful
manual time setting
no symbol – manual time setting, reception is deactivated
• If the clock cannot detect the DCF-signal (e.g. due to interference, transmitting distance, etc.), the time can be set manually.
• The clock will then work as a normal quartz clock (see: "Manual settings").
5.4 Note on radio-controlled time
• The time is transmitted from an atomic clock near Frankfurt am Main by a DCF-77 (77.5 kHz) frequency signal with a range of about
1500 km. Your radio-controlled clock receives the signal, converts it and always shows the exact time. The adjustment of Daylight
Saving Time and Standard Time is also automatic.
• Avoid being close to possible sources of interference that may affect radio reception (see “Base station positioning”).
• During night-time, the atmospheric interference is usually less severe. A single daily reception is adequate to keep the accuracy
deviation under 1 second.
