[. . . ] WIRELESS 868 MHz WEATHER STATION Instruction Manual INTRODUCTION: Congratulations on purchasing this Weather station with wireless 868MHz transmission. It not only displays the indoor temperature and humidity but also receives the outdoor temperature. It is further acting as a DCF-77 radio controlled clock. With a total of 15 different weather forecast icons featured by "Weather man", users can easily observe the forecast weather condition and will no longer worry the sudden weather change. [. . . ] Once the radiocontrolled time signals are received, the date is automatically updated. However, if the signals are not received, the date can also be set manually. The range runs from 2000 to 2029 (default is 2006). Press the SET key to enter the month setting mode. Press the + key to set the month and then press the SET key to go to the date setting. Confirm with the SET key and enter the "Time reception On/Off setting". 51 TIME RECEPTION ON/OFF SETTING flashing In area where reception of the radio-controlled time (DCF time) is not possible, the time reception function can be turned OFF. The clock will then work as a normal Quartz clock. The digit "ON" and the "dCF" digits will start flashing on the LCD. Use the + key to turn OFF the time reception function if necessary. Confirm with the SET key and enter the "12/24-Hour Display setting". Note: If the Time Reception function is turned OFF manually, the clock will not attempt any reception of the radio-controlled time (DCF time) as long as the Time Reception OFF function is activated. The Time Reception icon will not be displayed on the LCD. 52 12/24 HOUR TIME DISPLAY SETTING flashing 1. 2. 3. After setting time reception ON/OFF, press the SET key, "12h" or "24h" flashes in the LCD. (default 24 h) Press the + key to select the "12h" or "24h" display mode. Press the SET again to confirm and to enter the "°C/°F Temperature unit setting". Note: When 24h mode display is selected, the calendar format will be "Day. When 12h mode display is selected, the calendar format will be "Month. Day. " display. °C/°F TEMPERATURE UNIT SETTING flashing 53 The default temperature reading is set to °C (degree Celsius). To select °F (degree Fahrenheit): 1. The "°C or °F" will be flashing, use the + key to toggle between "°C" and "°F". 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. Again, disregard weather forecasts for the next 12 to 24 hours as this will allow time for operation at a constant altitude. THE WEATHER TENDENCY INDICATOR Working together with the weather icons are the weather tendency indicators (the upward and downward arrow located near the Weather man). When the indicator points upwards, it means that the air-pressure is increasing and the weather is expected to improve, but when indicator points downwards, the air-pressure is dropping and the weather is expected to become worse. [. . . ] Precautions shall be taken when handling the batteries. Injuries, burns, or property damage may be resulted if the batteries are in contact with conducting materials, heat, corrosive materials or explosives. The batteries shall be taken out from the unit before the product is to be stored for a long period of time. Immediately remove all low powered batteries to avoid leakage and damage. [. . . ]
