Key elements include frost alarm, weather forecast, pressure trend, time, alarm clock, temperature alert, remote sensor channel, temperature, dew point, heat index, humidity, weekday, calendar, and moon phase.
Setup
1. Powering the Main Unit
The main unit can be powered by the included power adapter or by 3 AAA batteries (not included).
- Using the Power Adapter: Connect the power adapter to the DC port on the back of the main unit and plug it into a wall outlet. The display will light up continuously.
- Using Batteries: Open the battery compartment on the back of the main unit and insert 3 new AAA batteries, observing the correct polarity (+/-). When powered by batteries, the display will automatically turn off after 30 seconds to conserve energy. Press any button to temporarily illuminate the display.
2. Installing Batteries in the Outdoor Sensor
The outdoor sensor requires 2 AAA batteries (not included).
- Open the battery compartment on the back of the outdoor sensor.
- Insert 2 new AAA batteries, ensuring correct polarity.
- Close the battery compartment securely.

3. Pairing the Outdoor Sensor
After powering both units, the main unit will automatically search for the outdoor sensor. The outdoor temperature and humidity should appear on the display within a few minutes. If not, press and hold the 'CHANNEL' button on the main unit to initiate a manual search.
4. Initial Time and Date Setup (DCF Radio Clock)
The weather station is equipped with a DCF radio clock. Upon initial power-up, it will attempt to synchronize with the DCF signal to set the time and date automatically. This process may take several minutes or hours depending on signal strength. Ensure the unit is placed away from electronic interference.
- If the DCF signal is not received, you can manually set the time and date. Refer to the 'Operating' section for manual settings.
5. Outdoor Sensor Placement
For accurate readings, place the outdoor sensor in a shaded, dry location, protected from direct sunlight and rain. The maximum transmission range is up to 60 meters (197 feet) in open areas. Avoid placing it near large metal objects or other electronic devices that may interfere with the signal.

Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Solution |
|---|---|
| No display on main unit. | Check power adapter connection or replace AAA batteries. If using batteries, press 'SNOOZE/LIGHT' to illuminate. |
| Outdoor temperature/humidity not displayed. | Ensure outdoor sensor batteries are installed correctly and are not depleted. Press and hold 'CHANNEL' on the main unit to re-establish connection. Ensure sensor is within range (max 60m) and not blocked by obstacles. |
| Incorrect time/date. | Allow time for DCF signal synchronization. Ensure the unit is placed in an area with good reception. Manually set time and date if necessary. |
| Weather forecast inaccurate. | The weather forecast is based on atmospheric pressure changes over 8-24 hours and is an estimation, not a guarantee. Allow the unit to operate for several days to calibrate. |
| Display too dim. | If using the power adapter, press 'SNOOZE/LIGHT' to adjust brightness. If on battery power, the display is designed to dim to save energy. |
