This Irox device uses a high quality pressure sensor to measure barometric pressure and the
respective changes. This information is then, using a by meteorologists specially developed
algorithm, used to calculate a weather forecast for the coming 12-24 hrs. Five different

about 3-10 minutes. During receiving the icon will blink, if reception is good with
waves if reception is poor without.
2. If you would like to switch the automatic time reception off and then on again you can do
so with the time-setting (see below "Setting").
3. During normal operation an automatic time reception will be activated daily at 0:00 and
4:00. If the reception at 4:00 failed, another reception will start at 5:00.

time to the beginning of the event (COUNTDOWN ).
If the event takes place in a different time zone it is very important that you calculate the
time difference. If for example admittance to an event is at 17:00 in London, then it is
already 18:00 in Central Europe! If then for example you live in Germany or Switzerland
you must enter 18:00 as start time!
When programming an event consider following questions:
- In which time zone is the event taking place?
- In which time zone do you live and what time is it on your display?
- Is daylight savings time (summer/winter) of importance?
Y
maximum 3999 days (this means an event that is over ten years from "now"!). If you select
a date beyond these 3999 days the clock will still count the time down but only in the
background. The depicted 3999 days, 23 hours, 59 minutes and 59 seconds remains the
same until the countdown is below this number
Caution: During the setting procedure as described below you will exit the setting mode if
more than 1 minute passes between pressing the buttons. The settings already made up to
this point will be taken over

Deutsch – Français- Italiano
English – Espanol – Portugues
Danske/Norske – Svenska – Islenska

4.2 T
The display unit measures the temperature and relative humidity of its location. The
temperature is displayed in °C.
4.3 Time function
The time signal DCF 77 is transmitted by the atomic clock in Mainflingen near
Frankfurt/Main. The long-wave transmitter has a range of up to 1500 km.
If the time icon is displayed without waves you have reception problems. Please
observe following points:
- There are fewer disturbances in the atmosphere during the night which increases the
likeliness of reception. One reception per day is completely sufficient to ensure the
preciseness of the clock by +/- 1 second
- Make sure that the device is at least 2 meters (8 feet) away from possible sources of
disturbance such as TV
- In rooms with concrete or metal walls (e.g. cellar rooms, modern office buildings etc.) the
receipt of the signal may be more difficult due to the shielding. In such cases find a better
location for the device near a window
by 90°, thereby improving the alignment of the receiving antenna.
Caution: During the setting procedure as described below you will exit the setting mode if
more than 1 minute passes between pressing the buttons. The settings already made up to
this point will be taken over

5. TROUBLESHOOTING
If you notice a malfunction of your device, always first check the battery please. If in doubt,
always replace the batteries !
Also please check the following before contacting the customer service of the store where
you purchased the device:
6. BA
The batteries last for about 8-12 months. Depending on the batteries used this time frame
may be a bit shorter or longer
undesired and unexpected interruption of operation.
- IN LOW BA
This means that the batteries in the display unit are becoming too weak and must be
replaced.
The ticker is automatically activated if a battery status message is activated. It is not possible
to stop the ticker as long as the message is displayed!
Important:
Use only new batteries and never combine old batteries with new batteries. Observe polarity
when inserting batteries!
Please also remember that used batteries do not belong in domestic trash, they should be
disposed of at designated collection points. Our environment will appreciate it!
Important note on batteries
• Never use rechargeable batteries.

Reposition the device. Preferably near a
window and leave it there overnight. Perhaps
an additional turning of the device by 90°
would help.
