2. Insert the batteries, observing the correct polarity (see battery compartment marking).
3. Replace the battery cover on the unit.
Alkaline batteries are recommended for use in both units. Avoid using rechargable
batteries.
SETTING UP:
1. Insert the 2 x AA, IEC LR6, 1.5V batteries into the transmitter (See “To install and
replace batteries in the Temperature Transmitter” above).
2. Within 3 minutes, insert 2 x AA, IEC LR6, 1.5V batteries into the Moonphase wall clock as
indicated above (see "To install and replace batteries in the Moonphase wall clock“
above).
3. Once the batteries are in place, all segments of the LCD will light up briefly. Then the
indoor and outdoor temperature - -.-°C, the time as 0:00, the date as 1/1, and weekday will
be displayed.
4. Do not press any buttons for 10 minutes
5. The Moonphase wall clock will start receiving data from the transmitter. The remote
temperature will then be displayed on the Moonphase wall clock. If the outdoor
temperature is not displayed 90 seconds after inserting the batteries into the receiver, all
batteries are needed to be removed and wait for at least 1 minute for reset from step 1.
6. The DCF time code reception will automatically start. This takes typically between 3 - 5
minutes in good conditions. This time period is an excellent opportunity to locate the
transmitter in suitable location outdoors. In order to ensure sufficient 868MHz transmission
however, this should under good conditions be no more than 100 meters from where the
Moonphase wall clock will be finally positioned (see notes on “Positioning” and “868MHz
Reception”).
7. If after 10 minutes the DCF time has not been received, use the SET key to manually enter
the set mode and change either the time or date in order to activate the DCF reception.
When this is successful, the received time will override the manually set time. The date is
also updated with the received time (Please refers to notes on “DCF Radio controlled
time” and “Manual time setting”).
Note:
In the event of changing batteries of the unit ensure that the batteries do not spring free from the
contacts. Always wait at least 1 minute after removing the batteries before reinserting, otherwise
start up and transmission problems may occur.
