3. Choosing the installation location
Similar to a mobile telephone network or radio/TV reception,
the reception of the radio-time receiver may not be perfect in all
locations. Just a couple of notes to make sure that your device
works with no problems.
The location of the weather station is very important. This is the
reason for the new test function that allows the quality of reception
to be checked in the surrounding area and to position the device
in a location that has the best possible conditions.
•
Switch on all potential sources of interference (e.g. televi-
sion) in the area that you want to install the station during
the test!
•
Position the device in the location, oriented as you prefer,
but at least one meter from the possible source of interfer-
ence.
•
Activate test mode as described.
•
Monitor the reception display on the weather station. If you
have found a location that has good reception, you can leave
the device there and it will retrieve data automatically from
the transmitter.
Note!
•
The time and date appear within a few minutes.
•
The transfer of larger quantities of data for the forecast take
much longer: In order to receive all data, the station requires
24 hours after start-up.
