10. Operation

a) Inserting the batteries into the weather station
• Open the battery compartment cover (24) on the bottom of the weather station.
• Insert three AAA batteries (not included) into the battery compartment. Ensure that you observe the plus/+ and
minus/- markings.
• All symbols will briefly appear on the LCD display and you will hear a beep.
In principle, it is possible to operate the weather station with rechargeable batteries. However, as
rechargeable batteries have a lower voltage (rechargeable battery = 1.2 V, conventional battery = 1.5 V)
and a lower capacity, you are recommended to use disposable batteries to ensure a longer battery life. If
you do wish to use rechargeable batteries, always use NiMH batteries with a low self-discharge. For safety
reasons and to ensure a longer battery life, we recommend that you use high-quality alkaline batteries.
b) Connecting the weather station to the power adapter
• Connect the low voltage cable on the power adapter to the power-in socket (21) on the weather station.
• All symbols will briefly appear on the LCD display. You will hear a short beep, indicating that the weather station
is ready for use. The reception symbol ( ) will flash for approximately 3 minutes. This indicates that the weather
station is searching for a signal from the outdoor sensor. The backlight will stay on when the power adapter is
connected. The current software version will be displayed for a few seconds in place of the time (14) and date (15) .
The reception symbol (
The weather station will automatically run off mains power when the power adapter is connected.
c) Inserting the batteries into the outdoor sensor
Insert the batteries into the outdoor sensor after you have turned on the weather station. The weather
station and the outdoor sensor should be positioned at a distance of 1.7–3.3 m. If necessary, move the
weather station closer to the outdoor sensor. However, do not allow it to come into contact with water
(e.g. during rain). Check that the weather station can receive a signal from the outdoor sensor before
fixing the sensor in place. Refer to "e) Testing the weather station and the outdoor sensor" for details.
Wait until the signals from all of the sensors have been received. This process may take up to 15 minutes.
The synchronisation symbol will be displayed once all signals have been received..
If the LED indicator (K) does not turn on or is not constant, check that the batteries are inserted in the
correct polarity. Inserting the batteries in the wrong polarity can cause permanent damage to the outdoor
sensor.
