Initial operation

• Open Weather Station battery compartment cover

• Open Wireless Outdoor Sensor battery compartment cover, Insert 2 x AA batteries observing polarity [ "+" and "–" marks].
• After receiver has a connection to the outdoor remote sensor after 3 minutes, it will enter the radio controlled time signal reception mode.

Reception of the DCF signal

• The clock will automatically search the DCF (radio controlled time) signal after 3 minutes of any restart or changing of new fresh batteries. The radio mast icon starts to flash.
• At 1:00 /2:00 / 3:00 am, the clock automatically carries out the synchronization procedure with the DCF signal to correct any deviations to the exact time. If the synchronization attempt is unsuccessful (the radio mast icon disappears from the display), the system will automatically attempt another synchronization at the next full one hour. This procedure is repeated automatically up to total 5 times.
• To start manual DCF signal reception, press and hold the "WAVE" button for two seconds. If no signal is received within 7 minutes, then the DCF signal search stops (the radio mast icon disappears) and will start again at the next full one hour.

• nearby mountains and valleys
• near freeway, railway, airports, high voltage cable etc.
• near construction site
• among tall buildings
• inside concrete buildings
• near electrical appliances (computers, TV's, etc) and metallic structures
• inside moving vehicles

Place the station at a location with optimal signal, i.e. close to a window and away from metal surfaces or electrical appliances.
