The outdoor temperature field

will show an animation of the
reception symbol
, indicating the base station is searching for the
signal from the outdoor sensor.
If no outdoor temperature is displayed after 3 minutes,the base sta-
tion will stop searching. The animation of the reception symbol will
turn off and the outdoor temperature field will show --._ °C and --._ %.
Most likely, the signal cannot be received due to structural factors,
reinforced concrete walls, the brickwork being too solid, or the dis-
tance between the units. After finding a better location for the outdoor
sensor, reception will need to be restarted.

The DCF signal (time transmitter)
The DCF signal (German time transmission station) consists of time im-
pulses emitted by one of the most accurate clocks in the world, located
near Frankfurt / Main, Germany.
In ideal conditions, your weather station can pick up this signal over a
distance of up to approx. 1500 km around Frankfurt / Main.
If the signal is detected the clock display
21
will show the current Central
European Time, date and day of the week. A static radio tower signal
appears. For more details please refer to section Basic settings.
If the attempts to receive a signal fail the base station will stop attempting
to receive a signal after 7 minutes and the radio tower signal
will
disappear. For information on how to resolve this issue please refer to
chapter Troubleshooting.
