-5Information about the outdoor sensor:

The sensor is intended for wallmounting or tabletop use
and can be glued to a dry, clean surface with the included
double-sided tape (yellow side).
To test the signal transmission of the sensor, press the
"TX/RESET" button (B) on the back side of the sensor.
Unscrew the 4 screws on the back side of the sensor and
remove the back cover. Press the "TX/RESET" button for
3 seconds to restart the sensor. The sensor must now be
registered at the station.
Please position the sensor in a roofed area. It is weather
resistant but it should not come into direct contact with
water or sunlight.
The sensor transmits the temperature signal on the
frequency 433MHz and has a range of approx. 30m
outdoors. The transmission functions best if no obstacles
are between the station and the sensor (examples:
Thermopen glass, metal beams, brick walls).
If your station cannot receive the outdoor temperature,
please move the sensor closer to the station. It may also
become necessary to replace the batteries.
Possible problems:
The clock does not receive the time signal:
Please move your station to another position and consider
that an electrical appliance such as a PC, telephone, radio or
TV may cause electromagnetic interference that could
influence the reception of the time signal.
Other possible interferences for the reception: strong
building materials (metal), large landmasses (hills),
atmospheric interference.
It may also be necessary to replace the batteries.
If radio-signal reception is not possible at all, please set
the clock manually.
The outdoor temperature is not displayed:
Press and hold the "Zz/CHANNEL" button for 3 seconds
and then wait for 2 or 3 minutes.
The outdoor temperature is often lost:
Reduce the distance between the station and the sensor
(30m max. with clear line of sight and no obstacles)
Check the distance to possible sources of interference (at
least 1.5m to any phones, TV, radio computers etc.
Other appliances in neighboring houses that also use the
433MHz frequency may cause problems.
Check the placement of your station (proximity to metal
building parts, metal doors, concrete ie. cellar large highrise
building)
Should these measures remain unsuccessful please restart
both units as described on page 2.

Instruction manual:
Your temperature station should not be exposed to
humiditiy or direct sunlight.
Please remove the battery interrupter first to activate your
temperature station.
The unit is now operational.
During the first 4-5 minutes your temperature station will
attempt to receive the signal from the outdoor sensor. The
radio waves in the display will blink (D1) adjacent to the
channel display. The radio tower will appear without radio
waves.
Position the sensor and the station side by side. Now
insert the batteries into the sensor within the next 2
minutes. Unscrew the 4 screws on the back side of the
sensor, remove the back cover and insert the batteries in
the correct polarity. Please take care not to remove the
rubber gasket that runs along the outside of the case.
Replace the back cover and tighten the 4 screws.
Channel 1 will now be registered and the outdoor
temperature will appear in the display (D1). Channels 2
and 3 may be set in the same way, if you wish to install
additional outdoor sensors.
A registered Channel will not receive any additional
sensors.
If you have multiple sensors connected to your station,
you may cycle through them by pressing the
"Zz/CHANNEL" button. When a round arrow is displayed
the station will autocycle through all available sensors.
-Your temperature station will now attempt to receive the
radio time signal and the reception signal will appear
partially on the display (D4).

-3Attention:
During this operation, no other functions may be used.
Depending on your distance to the transmitting station,
reception of the signal may take from 5 minutes to several
hours.
Upon successful reception the radio antenna symbol with
radio waves will appear on the display and the correct
time and date will be set automatically. If the radio antenna
symbol does not appear, radio reception is currently not
possible.
Should your clock not set itself within 5 minutes, please try
again at a different location or set the clock manually.
Setting degrees Celsius or Fahrenheit:
Press and hold "SELECT" for 3 seconds.
Press "SET/RESET" to set C (Celsius) or F (Fahrenheit).
Confirm your selection by pressing "SELECT".
Manual setting:

temperature has risen within the last hour by more than 1
degree (arrow points upward), fallen (arrow points
downward) or remained constant (arrow straight).
Battery low indicator / battery replacement:
The battery low indicator will appear in the display (D1) when
the batteries of the sensor need to be replaced. Unscrew the
4 screws on the back side of the sensor, remove the back
cover and insert 2 AAA batteries in the correct polarity.
Please take care not to remove the rubber gasket that runs
along the outside of the case. Replace the back cover and
tighten the 4 screws.
To register the sensor please press "Zz/CHANNEL" for 3
seconds until flashing dashes appear in place of the outside
temperature and channel number. The station will now
attempt to register the sensor.
