[. . . ] The outdoor temperature and the signal reception icon should then be displayed on the Weather station. If this does not happen after 3 minutes, the batteries will need to be removed from both units and reset from step 1. In order to ensure sufficient 868 MHz transmission however, this should under good conditions be a distance no more than 100 meters between the final position of the Weather Station and the transmitter (see notes on "Mounting" and "868 MHz Reception"). Once the remote temperature has been received and displayed on the Weather station, the DCF time (radio controlled time) code reception is automatically started. [. . . ] When the signal is received, the manually set time will automatically be replaced by the received time. If reception has been unsuccessful, the DCF tower icon will not appear but reception will still be attempted. Press and hold ALARM for about 3 seconds until the alarm time display flashes. To activate/ deactivate the alarm function, press the ALARM button once. The display of the alarm icon represents that the alarm is "ON". Note: The duration of alarm sounding is 85 seconds TO ACTIVATE THE SNOOZE FUNCTION AND STOPPING THE ALARM: 1. When the alarm is sounding, press the MIN/MAX RESET key to activate the snooze function. The alarm will stop and re-activate after the snooze interval of 10 minutes. To stop the alarm completely, press any keys other than MIN/MAX key. WEATHER FORECAST AND TENDENCY THE WEATHER FORECASTING ICONS : There are 3 weather icons in the third section of LCD which can be displayed in any of the following combinations : 44 Sunny Cloudy with sunny intervals Rainy For every sudden or significant change in the air pressure, the weather icons will update accordingly to represent the change in weather. If the icons do not change, then it means either the air pressure has not changed or the change has been too slow for the Weather station to register. However, if the icon displayed is a sun or raining cloud, there will be no change of icon if the weather gets any better (with sunny icon) or worse (with rainy icon) since the icons are already at their extremes. The icons display weather forecasts in terms of getting better or worse, and not necessarily sunny or rainy as each icon indicates. For example, if the current weather is cloudy and the rainy icon is displayed, it does not mean that the product is faulty because it is not raining. It simply means that the air pressure has dropped and the weather is expected to get worse but not necessarily rainy. Note : After setting up, readings for weather forecasts should be disregarded for the next 12-24 hours. This 45 will allow sufficient time for the Weather Station to collect air pressure data at a constant altitude and therefore result in a more accurate forecast. Common to weather forecasting, absolute accuracy cannot be guaranteed. The weather forecasting feature is estimated to have an accuracy level of about 75% due to the varying areas the Weather Station has been designed for use in. In areas that experience sudden changes in weather (for example from sunny to rain), the Weather Station will be more accurate compared to use in areas where the weather is stagnant most of the time (for example mostly sunny). If the Weather Station is moved to another location significantly higher or lower than its initial standing point (for example from the ground floor to the upper floors of a house), remove the batteries and re-insert them after about 30 seconds. By doing this, the Weather Station will not mistake the new location as being a possible change in air-pressure when really it is due to the slight change of altitude. The distance of the Weather station or transmitter should be at least 1. 5 to 2 meters away from any interfering sources such as computer monitors or TV sets. Avoid positioning the Weather station onto or in the immediate proximity of metal window frames.
