3. The main unit will start connecting to the outdoor remote sensor (max 3 minutes), indicated by a flashing reception antenna symbol ?.
4. Open the remote sensor battery compartment cover, use the channel switch to select the channel, insert 2 x AAA batteries observing polarity, and press the °C/°F button to select the temperature unit.
5. After connecting to the remote sensor, the unit enters DCF Radio control time receive mode. The backlight turns off during reception and returns to normal afterward.

Reception of the Radio Signal

• Press and hold the [−] button to manually enter DCF radio control receiving function. The backlight temporarily turns off if using adapter power.
• During DCF receiving mode, the symbol ? flashes. When a valid signal is detected, the symbol stops flashing. Reception ends after a few minutes.
• A successfully received signal is indicated by a checkmark ✔️. A previous successful reception with a last failed reception is indicated by a crossed-out checkmark ❌.
• The clock automatically synchronizes with the DCF signal at 1:00, 2:00, and 3:00 AM. If unsuccessful, it attempts synchronization hourly up to 5 times.
• To stop RC reception, press the [−] button once.
• For optimal reception, place the unit at least 2.5 meters (8.2 feet) from interference sources like TVs or computer monitors. Radio reception is weaker in rooms with concrete walls; place near a window in such cases.
• During RC receive mode, only [Light/Snooze] and [−] buttons are functional. Press [−] to exit RC mode for other operations.

Manual Time Setting

• Setting sequence: RCC ON/OFF → DST ON/OFF → Time zone → 12/24HR → HOUR → MINUTE → DATE Format (D/M or M/D) → YEAR → MONTH → DATE → Language of WEEK → Temperature Unit (°C/°F) → Pressure unit (hPa/mb or inHg) → Current standard air pressure → Current weather.
• Press and hold [+] or [−] to adjust values quickly.
• Press the [−] button to confirm the last item and return to normal mode.
• In 12-hour format, "PM" indicates post meridiem.
• The 7 languages for day of week abbreviations are:

• Press the [+] button once to display the maximum value. Press [+] again to display the minimum value. "MAX" or "MIN" will be displayed on the LCD.
• Press and hold the [+] button for 3 seconds to reset the maximum/minimum values to the current actual value.
• Memory values are automatically cleared at 0:00 every night.

Weather Forecasting Function

Warning: Consider local weather forecasts alongside your weather station's forecast. If discrepancies exist, the local forecast is authoritative. The weather forecast is based on barometric pressure fluctuations and may differ from actual conditions.

The weather station displays the following weather symbols:

Moon Phase

The weather station automatically displays the current lunar phase:

? New moon, ? Waxing crescent, ? Waxing half-moon, ? Waxing gibbous, ? Full moon, ? Waning gibbous, ? Waning half-moon, ? Waning crescent.

Ice Alert

The ice alert symbol ❄️ appears and flashes when the remote sensor temperature is between -1.0°C and 2.9°C (30.2°F and 37.3°F).

Outdoor Temperature Alert

• Press the [A] button to set the Outdoor temperature alert function ON or OFF for the currently displayed channel. Press [CH] to switch channels.
• Symbol HIA indicates the over-upper-limit alert is ON. Symbol LOA indicates the over-lower-limit alert is ON. Disappearing symbols mean the alert function is OFF.
• Press and hold the [A] button for 2 seconds to enter the temperature limit setting mode. Use [+] or [−] to set the value, and press [A] to confirm. Press [CH] to set limits for other channels.
• When the outdoor temperature exceeds the set limit, the temperature value and corresponding icon will flash. A beep reminder sounds if the temperature remains outside the set limit upon refresh.
