1 To begin with the installation, press RESET. 

2 The House-Code flashes for 10 seconds. 

3 Select the House-Code (1-15) by pressing SET when the 

desired House-Code appears. 

In case of several transmitters always set the same House- 

Code. 

4 After a few seconds, the channel flashes for 10 seconds. 

- Use a different House-Code, if your Weather Station receives 

signals from another transmitter in the neighbourhood. 

- if no House-Code or Channel is selected (bypassing steps 3 

and 5), the House-Code is set to 01 and Channel 1 is selected. 

5 Select the channel (1- 4) by pressing SET. 

After a few seconds, the current temperature will be displayed 

for about 10 seconds. 

Press the SET key to switch between the displayed temperature 

units of °C and °F. After a few seconds the temperature 

display stops flashing. With that the installation procedure 

comes to end. 

Using the 

table stands 

The Weather Station is equipped with movable stands. The 

Weather Station can be erected on a plane ground like a table 

by unfolding the table stands. The stands can also be hidden 

behind the device, if you want to attach the device to the Wall 

Holder with the help of a screw. 

www.MBOservice.net

SETTINGS 

Using the 

wall holder 

The transmitter is 

provided with a 

Wall Holder which 

can be used if you 

want to attach the 

device to a wall. 

Automatic Setting 

When the batteries are placed in the transmitter, the latter 

starts transmitting the measured temperature at 1 minute 

intervals. After the batteries are placed, the Weather Station 

begins to search for signals after a period of 3 minutes. On 

successful reception of a signal, the temperature of the corresponding 

channel is shown in the first line of the display. The 

inside temperature is shown in the second line. In the Weather 

Station the measured values are updated automatically at 1 

minute intervals. 

If no signal is received from a particular channel for more than 

one hour, the outside temperature display starts flashing. In that 

case, press the CHN key for about 3 seconds to restart the three 

minute search. This is useful for synchronisation of the transmission 

and the reception between the Weather Station and the 

transmitter. Repeat these steps whenever deviations occur between 

the display on the Weather Station and the display directly 

near the radio transmitter. 

www.MBOservice.net


SETTINGS

Querying 

outside and 

inside temperatures 

The inside temperature is shown in the second line of the display. 

To switch from the outside temperature of one channel to 

another, press the CHN key. In the first line of the display, one 

channel after another will be shown. If no signal is received from 

a particular transmitter for more than 64 minutes, the outside 

temperature display of the corresponding channel starts flashing 

till a successful measurement is received again. 

Check whether the transmitter is in a faultless condition or not. 

You can wait for a while, or you can start the search immediately 

by keeping the CHN key pressed for 3 seconds. Of course no 

temperature will be shown if no transmitter is programmed for 

that channel. The temperature trend shown in the display shows 

the tendency of the measurements made from a particular location. 

Three different temperature trends can be displayed: rising, 

constant and falling. 

Arrow Sign 

Tendency rising constant falling 

If the temperature rises or falls above or below the range of 

measurement of the Weather Station or the radio sensor (see 

the technical data), then the display shows HI or LO. 

Maximum 

and minimum 

temperatures 

www.MBOservice.net 

The maximum and the minimum values of the measured inside 

temperatures, as well as the individual outside temperatures of 

different channels are automatically saved in the memory. 

To display these values: 

1. Press CHN to select the channel to be checked.


10 

SETTINGS 

2. Press MIN/- or MAX/+ once to display the minimum or the maxi 

mum temperature measured in a particular channel. The corresponding 

Min or Max values appear in the display. Pressing the 

same key again leads back to the display of the current temperature. 

To delete the content of the memory, keep either the HOUR or 

MINUTE key pressed for three seconds. The stored minimum 

and maximum values will be deleted. 

Signals for 

interrupted 

connection 

Interference in 

transmission 


If the display for a particular channel fails to appear without any 

apparent reason, then press the CHN key for three seconds to 

enforce an immediate search. If that fails then check whether: 

1. the transmitter of the corresponding channel is still at the 

same location. 

2. the batteries of the Weather Station or the transmitter are 

spent. Replace the batteries if necessary. 

Note: The batteries of the transmitter will freeze if the temperature 

falls below the freezing point and their voltage will drop, 

hence the effective range of the transmitter decreases. 

3. if the maximum range of transmission is exceeded, and if 

objects between the Sensor and the Weather Station interfere 

with the transmission. Reduce the interference if possible 

by reducing the distance between the transmitter and 

the Weather Station. 

Signals from other household devices like doorbells, alarms, and 

entrance monitoring systems can interfere with the transmission 

and can temporarily disrupt the reception. That is normal and 

does not effect the general functioning of this device. The transmission 

and the reception of the measured values resume with 

the disappearance of the disturbances.


SETTINGS 

11 

Reference to 

°C and °F 

The unit in which the temperature is displayed can be switched 

between °C and °F by pressing the C°/F° key. 

Please note that the outside temperature display depends on the 

setting of the unit (°C or °F) on the weather station. Whatever is 

indicated by the display of a transmitter, the temperature value 

is automatically converted at the weather station to the unit set, 

and displayed accordingly. 

Temperature 

alarm 

The temperature alarm can be set for the inside and outside 

temperature separately. 

Procedure: 

1. Press the MODE key six times, until the temperature alarm 

mode appears. This is indicated by two warning light symbols. 

2. The inside temperature starts to flash. 

3. Press the ALARM key to set the type of temperature alarm: 

- Arrow upwards: upper temperature limit 

- Arrow downwards: lower temperature limit 

- No arrow shown: temperature alarm switched off 

4. Use the + and – keys to set the required temperature limit. 

Confirm what you have entered with the MODE key. 

5. The outside temperature starts to flash. Press the CHN key 

until the required transmitter channel (1, 2, 3 or 4) is displayed 

as the temperature alarm. Only one channel can be selected. 

Repeat steps 3 & 4 to set the outside temperature 

alarm and confirm what you have entered by pressing the 

MODE key.

The temperature alarm indicates that the actual temperature 

has fallen below or risen above the temperature limit (depending 

on the type of temperature alarm). 

1. Press any key to switch the alarm off. 

2. If no key is pressed, the temperature alarm will switch off automatically 

after one minute. 

3. Once it has been initiated, the sound of the temperature alarm 

differs from the sounds of alarm 1 and alarm 2. 

4. The warning light symbol also begins to flash in the display.

Via radio 

reception 

The weather station is designed to synchronise itself automatically 

with the DCF 77 time signal transmitted from Frankfurt as soon as 

the instrument is moved into the reception zone. 

Once the instrument is located within the range of this radio signal, 

all settings made manually are overwritten. If the instrument receives 

a radio signal, the radio symbol in the display starts to flash. The 

reception period for a radio signal generally lasts between 2 and 10 

minutes, and depends on the strength of the radio signal. 

www.MBOservice.net


14 

SETTINGS 

In the case of complete reception, the radio symbol is shown 

constantly in the display. 

Strong Medium Weak 

No radio symbol: Radio reception is not possible and no signal will 

be received until radio reception is switched on again. 

When the radio symbol in the display flashes, the 

instrument is in the process of receiving a signal. A 

complete reception lasts between 2 and 10 minutes, 

depending on the strength of the signal received. 

For improved reception, do not place the weather station in the vicinity 

of metallic objects or electronic equipment in order to minimise 

interference. 

Note: 

During the period when the DCF signal is being received, no 

signal can be received from the radio sensors. The signals of 

the radio sensors will be ignored until the reception of the DCF 

signal is concluded. 

If you wish to switch off the automatic reception of the time 

signal, hold the hours and minutes key down for 3 seconds. 

The radio symbol will disappear from the display. The instrument 

will now receive no more time signals. 

To switch the synchronisation with the DCF signal on again, 

hold the HOUR and MINUTE keys down again for about three 

seconds. The radio symbol starts to flash and initialises the 

reception automatically.

This weather station is designed to provide you with years of 

reliable service, provided you treat it with care. Here are some hints 

on how to look after it: 

1. Never immerse the instrument in water. 

2. Do not clean the instrument with abrasive or aggressive 

cleaning agents. The plastic housing could be scratched and 

electronic circuits could corrode. 

3. Do not subject the instrument to violent vibrations, impact, 

dust, high temperatures or atmospheric humidity, as these 

can lead to malfunction, a shortened service life, damaged 

batteries or defective components. 

4. Never try to open the instrument. This invalidates the warranty 

and may cause unnecessary damage to the instrument. 

The instrument does not contain any parts requiring maintenance.
