7. The sensor is resistant to dripping water; however, it should not
be exposed to sustained rain.
8. Do not place the sensor on metal objects as this will reduce the
transmission range.
9. Replace sensor batteries when the low battery icon is shown on
the display of the sensor.
10. If the thermometer display is dicult to read/weakly backlit,
replace batteries in the thermometer.
Radio Controlled Clock (DCF)
The radio signal propagates via radio waves (77.5 kHz) from a site
near Frankfurt on the Main in Germany within a range of 1 500 km.
This radio time signal automatically takes into account summer and
winter time, leap years and date changes.
After registering the wireless sensor, the thermometer will automat-
ically begin searching for DCF signal.
The icon will be ashing. During the search, no other items on
the display will be updated and the buttons will be disabled (except
SNOOZE/LIGHT). Once the signal is detected, the icon will stop ashing
and the display will show the current time along with icon.
During summer time, the icon will be displayed below it.
If DCF signal is not detected, the icon will not be displayed.
Long press the button to search for DCF signal again. Long press
the button to cancel the search for DCF signal.
DCF signal will be synchronised daily every hour between 1 and 5 a.m.
Note: If the thermometer detects the DCF signal but the current time
on the display is incorrect (e.g. shifted ±1hour), make sure to always
correctly set the time zone for the country where you are using the
thermometer; see Manual Setting of Time and Date.
In standard conditions (at safe distance from sources of interference,
such as TV sets, computer monitors), the reception of time signal
takes several minutes.
If the clock does not detect the signal, follow these steps:
1. Move the thermometer to another location and try to detect the
DCF signal again.
