Unrestricted use of the Weather Station
depends on the operational readiness of
the transmission media. Unfortunately,
KOCH has absolutely no control over this.
Temporary transmission media failures
can occasionally occur but do not
constitute a problem with the device. (In
other words: Your Weather Station Europe
is a type of radio receiver that only
receives signals from one transmitter. And
it is not possible to guarantee that the
transmitter always functions correctly. It is
also impossible to guarantee that the
receiver signal can be received at each
and every location.)
1 Prior to initial use
1.1 Intended use
A conventional weather station forecasts the weather based on changes in the barometric pressure. The Weather Station
Europe 11909 receives its coded weather information from Meteotime (www.meteotime.com).The Meteotime weather
forecasts are issued twice a day by the weather office Meteotest (www.meteotest.ch). Meteotest offers reliable weather forecasts
anywhere in the world. The Meteotime weather forecasts are broadcast via the stations for radio-controlled clocks HBG (in
Switzerland) and DCF (in Germany). You can receive a 4-day weather forecast for 60 meteorological regions in Europe, and a 3-
day forecast for an additional 30 regions.

Always handle charged batteries with care, especially when placing them inside a bag, purse or other container together with
metal objects. Conductive materials, such as coins, can cause short-circuiting.
●
Do not replace batteries in a potentially explosive atmosphere. Contact sparking may occur while installing or removing batteries
and cause an explosion.
●
Never throw batteries into a fire as they may explode.
●
Keep batteries away from small children.
