The main unit features a large LCD display that shows:

• Indoor temperature and humidity
• Outdoor temperature and humidity
• Time (radio-controlled)
• Room climate assessment (5 levels: too dry / dry / optimal / wet / too wet)
• Window opening/closing indicator
• Mold alarm indicator
• Alarm and snooze function indicators

It has a foldable stand for tabletop use and can also be wall-mounted.

4.2 Wireless Outdoor Sensor

The outdoor sensor measures external temperature and humidity and transmits data wirelessly to the main unit. It is splash-proof (IPX4) and can be placed on a surface or wall-mounted. It has a range of up to 100 meters in open areas.

5. Setup

5.1 Battery Installation

1. Open the battery compartment on the back of both the main unit and the outdoor sensor.
2. Insert 2 x 1.5 V AAA batteries into the main unit and 2 x 1.5 V AAA batteries into the outdoor sensor, ensuring correct polarity (+/-).
3. Close the battery compartments securely.
4. The main unit will power on and begin searching for the outdoor sensor signal.

5.2 Sensor Placement

• Place the outdoor sensor in a shaded, dry location away from direct sunlight and rain to ensure accurate readings and prolong its lifespan.
• Ensure the sensor is within 100 meters (open area) of the main unit. Walls, metal structures, and other electronic devices can reduce the effective range.
• The outdoor sensor can be placed on a flat surface or mounted on a wall using a screw (not included).

5.3 Initial Synchronization and Time Setting

• Once batteries are inserted, the main unit will automatically attempt to synchronize with the outdoor sensor and receive the radio-controlled time signal (DCF77).
• This process may take a few minutes. Ensure both units are close to each other during initial setup.
• If synchronization fails, try repositioning the units or pressing the reset button (if available, check device for small hole) on both units.
• The time will automatically adjust for daylight saving time. Manual time setting is also possible if the radio signal is weak.

6. Operation

• Window Opening/Closing Indicator: The display shows an icon suggesting whether to open or close windows to improve the indoor climate. It also indicates the planned room climate during ventilation.
• Mold Alarm: An alarm function alerts you to conditions conducive to mold growth.
• Time Display: Shows the current time, automatically set by radio signal. Can be switched between 12-hour and 24-hour format.
• Temperature Unit: Toggle between Celsius (°C) and Fahrenheit (°F) display.

6.2 Setting the Alarm Clock

The weather station includes an alarm clock with a snooze function.
