Reception problems
The DCF77 radio signal is transmitted from a location near Frankfurt am Main and can be received within a radius of
approximately 1500 km around Frankfurt am Main. However, there are some obstacles and sources of interference,
which may substantially hinder reception. If your weather station does not correctly receive the DCF77 radio signal,
please hang or place the weather station in a different location at your site. Please note that devices such as computers,
telephones, radios and televisions may cause electromagnetic radiation which can interfere with the DCF77 signal
reception. Other possible detriments to reception are: strong building insulation (metal building materials), nearby
mountains or atmospheric interference. It may also be necessary to replace the batteries.
