and the indoor temperature will be displayed. If these are not displayed after 1 minute,
remove the batteries and wait for at least 1 minute before reinserting them.
3. After inserting the batteries, the weather station will start receiving data from the
outdoor transmitter. The outdoor temperature and the signal reception icon should then
be displayed on the weather station. If this does not happen after 3 minutes, the
batteries will need to be removed from both units and reset from step 1.
4. In order to ensure successful 868 MHz transmission, this should under good conditions
be a distance no more than 100 meters between the final position of the weather
station and the transmitter (see notes on “Mounting” and “868 MHz Reception”).
5. Once the outdoor temperature has been received and displayed on the weather
station, the DCF time (radio controlled time) code reception is automatically started.
This takes typically between 3-5 minutes in good conditions.
NOTE FOR RADIO-CONTROLLED TIME DCF:
The time base for the radio-controlled time is a caesium atomic clock operated by the
Physikalisch Technische Bundesanstalt Braunschweig. It has a time deviation of less than
one second in one million years. The time is coded and transmitted from Mainflingen near
Frankfurt via frequency signal DCF-77 (77.5 kHz) and has a transmitting range of
approximately 1,500 km. Your radio-controlled clock receives this signal and converts it to
show the precise time. Changeover from summer time or winter time is automatic. The
