4. Getting started
• Place the basic station and the outdoor transmitter on a desk with a distance of
approximately 1.5 meter. Avoid getting close to possible interference sources (Elec-
tronic devices and radio installations).
• Open the battery compartment of the outdoor transmitter.
• Insert two new batteries 1,5 V AAA into the battery compartment of the outdoor
transmitter. Make sure the polarities are correct.
• Remove the protecting foil from the display of the basic station.
• Connect the basic station to the attached power adapter. Insert the adapter into
the jack at the basic station and connect the power adapter to a wall socket. Impor-
tant! Make sure that your household voltage is 230V! Otherwise your device may
be damaged.
• The device will alert you with a beep and all LCD segments will be displayed for a
short moment.
• The backlight is activated permanently.

SUN - Wireless weather station
• The indoor temperature will be displayed on the basic station and the basic station
will scan the outdoor temperature and the reception symbol will be flashing.
• If the reception of the outdoor temperature fails, "- -" appears on the display.
Check if there is any source of interference. After the reception of the radio-con-
trolled time you can start the initialization for the outdoor transmitter manually.
Press and hold ▼ button for 3 seconds. The basic station will scan the outdoor tem-
perature.
4.1. Radio-controlled time reception
• The clock will now scan the DCF frequency signal and the DCF symbol will be flash-
ing. When the time code is received successfully after 3-7 minutes, the radio-con-
trolled time and the DCF symbol are displayed steadily in the display. During the
DCF time reception period, no outdoor temperature will be transmitted.
• If there is no reception possible, manual initialization can be helpful.
• Press the WAVE button.
• The DCF symbol will be flashing.
• Interrupt the reception by pressing the WAVE button again. The DCF symbol disap-
pears.
• The DCF reception always take place at 1:00 o'clock in the morning until 5.00
o'clock. If the reception is not successfully received at 5:00 o'clock, further attempts
will be made again at 1:00 clock in the morning.
• If the clock cannot detect the DCF-signal (for example due to disturbances, trans-
mitting distance, etc.), the time can be set manually. The DCF symbol disappears
and the clock will then work as a normal quartz clock. (see: Manual setting of the
clock and calendar).
4.1.1 Note for radio-controlled time DCF
The time base for the radio-controlled time is a caesium atomic clock operated by the
Physikalisch Technische Bundesanstalt Braunschweig. It has a time deviation of less
than one second in one million years. The time is coded and transmitted from Main-
flingen near Frankfurt via frequency signal DCF-77 (77.5 kHz) and has a transmitting
