9. Radio interferences created by PC screens, radios or TV
sets can in some cases entirely cut off radio communication.
Please take this into consideration when choosing standing
or mounting locations.
Important: it is important to observe this order of succession
since the sensors will send an identification code
which has to be received and stored by the Base
Station within the first few minutes of operation.
After doing this full operation of the entire Weather Station
System is ensured.
Note: If batteries are inserted in the weather station after
connecting the AC/DC, the batteries will serve as a
back-up power source for the weather station in case of
electrical failure.
3.2 System Start
After completing the play mode the Touch Screen Weather
Station will automatically switch to the normal display mode from
which all further settings can be performed by the user. At this
point of time the unit will also automatically start reception of the
DCF77 time information.
Note: In case the user wants to start the system without waiting
for completion of the play mode it can be terminated
prematurely by once touching the TIME display in the
upper left corner of the LCD.
3.3 Placement
After the Weather Station has been checked for correct function
with regard to the above points and found fit, the mounting of the
system components can take place. It must be ensured however
that all components work properly together at their chosen
mounting or standing locations. If e.g. there appear to be
problems with the 868 MHz radio transmission they can mostly
be overcome by slightly moving the mounting locations.
Note: Commonly the radio communication between receiver and
transmitter in the open field reaches distances of 100
meters maximum, providing that there are no interfering
