The base station will display battery warnings if the battery levels are low on both the station and outdoor sensor.
Hang up or place the weather station where you want to read the information and measure temperature and humidity indoors. Hang up or place the transmitter where you want to measure temperature and humidity outdoors. Place the sensor under roof to keep it protected from heavy rain.
The base station and the sensor unit will try to connect in 5 minutes when both are powered on The base station will start the 14-day learning process once powered on and connected to the sensor. This learning process is necessary for the weather station to be able to predict the weather forecast. The display will show ‘LEARNING.: at the top of the display during this time.
The base station will also start searching for a DCF signal for the time setting, if no signal is found the search will stop and you will need to manually set the time. It may take some time for the base station to receive the signal. The station will update the DCF signal every day at 1, 2 and 3 AM.

Weather display and trends
The base station is capable of showing the temperature, relative humidity, barometric pressure, a weather forecast (based on the barometric pressure) and lunar phase.

Press the set button to change between Fahrenheit and Celsius.
The display can show temperature, humidity and air pressure trends. An up arrow indicates a rise in temperature by 1 °C/2 °F, a rise in humidity by 5 % or a barometric pressure increase by 2 hPa. A downwards arrow indicate a downwards change of the same values, and a straight arrow indicates currently stable weather.
