Postavljanje

1. Ugradnja baterije

The weather station and the outdoor transmitter require batteries for operation. Ensure you use fresh batteries of the correct type (typically AAA for the main unit and AA for the transmitter, though not explicitly stated, common for such devices).

1. Glavna jedinica: Open the battery compartment on the back of the main unit. Insert the batteries, observing the correct polarity (+/-). Close the compartment.
2. Vanjski odašiljač: Open the battery compartment on the back of the outdoor transmitter. Insert the batteries, observing the correct polarity (+/-). Close the compartment.

2. Početna sinkronizacija i postavljanje

After battery installation, the main unit will attempt to synchronize with the outdoor transmitter and receive the radio-controlled time signal.

• Outdoor Transmitter Placement: Place the wireless outdoor transmitter in a sheltered location outdoors, away from direct sunlight and rain, to ensure accurate temperature readings and prolong its lifespan. Ensure it is within range of the main unit (typically up to 100 meters in open air).
• Položaj glavne jedinice: Position the main unit indoors, away from large metal objects, electrical appliances, and sources of electromagnetic interference that might disrupt the radio signal.

3. Radio-Controlled Time Signal

The weather station automatically sets its time via a radio signal (DCF77 in Europe). This process may take several minutes or even hours, especially during initial setup or if the unit has been moved. The signal reception is typically stronger at night.

• A signal icon (often a tower or waves) on the display indicates the status of the radio signal reception. A solid icon means successful reception.
• Prilagodba vremenske zone: The radio signal is typically based on Central European Time (CET). If you are in a different time zone (e.g., UK), you may need to manually adjust the time offset. Refer to the specific buttons on your device (usually labeled "MODE" or "SET") and the on-screen prompts to change the time zone setting (e.g., -1 hour for UK).

Upute za rad

Prikaz prekoview

The main display provides the following information:

• Vrijeme: Large digits at the top, automatically updated via radio signal.
• Unutarnja temperatura: Current temperature inside, usually with MAX/MIN readings for the day.
• Vanjska temperatura: Current temperature from the wireless transmitter, usually with MAX/MIN readings for the day.
• Vremenska prognoza: Icons indicating predicted weather conditions (e.g., sun, clouds, rain).
• Atmospheric Pressure Tendency: An arrow indicating whether the atmospheric pressure is rising or falling, which contributes to the weather forecast.

Maximum/Minimum Temperature Function

The weather station records the highest (MAX) and lowest (MIN) indoor and outdoor temperatures since the last reset. To view or reset these values:

• Press the "MAX/MIN" button (or similar) to cycle through current, maximum, and minimum readings.
• To reset the MAX/MIN values, press and hold the "MAX/MIN" button for a few seconds while the MAX/MIN values are displayed.

Vremenska prognoza

The weather forecast is based on changes in atmospheric pressure. It provides a general indication of expected weather conditions for the next 12-24 hours within a 30-50 km radius. The forecast is represented by intuitive icons:

• ☀ Sunny
• ☁ Partly Cloudy
• ☁️️ Cloudy
• ☔ Rainy

Note: Weather forecasts from home weather stations are based on local atmospheric pressure trends and may not always align with professional forecasts, which use broader data. The accuracy can vary, especially in rapidly changing weather conditions.

Manual Time Setting (If Radio Signal is Unavailable)

In areas with poor radio signal reception, you may need to set the time manually.

1. Press and hold the "SET" or "MODE" button until the time digits begin to flash.
2. Use the "+" or "-" buttons to adjust the hours, then press "SET" or "MODE" to confirm and move to minutes.
3. Repeat for minutes and any other settings like date or year, if applicable.
4. Press "SET" or "MODE" again to exit manual setting mode.

Održavanje

Zamjena baterije

Replace batteries in both the main unit and the outdoor transmitter when the display becomes dim or the outdoor readings are inconsistent. Always replace all batteries at the same time with new ones of the same type.

Čišćenje

Wipe the weather station and transmitter with a soft, damp krpu. Nemojte koristiti abrazivna sredstva za čišćenje ili otapala jer mogu oštetiti zaslon iliasing.

Skladištenje

If storing the unit for an extended period, remove all batteries to prevent leakage and corrosion.
