6. DCF signal
You can enable (auto) or disable (off) this function as the last item in the basic
settings.
The DCF signal is a time signal which is sent out by one of the most accurate clocks
in the world. It is located near Frankfurt am Main. Under ideal conditions, your
weather station can receive the signal from a distance of up to 1500 km.
If the weather station has detected the signal, then it displays the current Central Eu-
ropean Time, the date, and the day of the week depending on the basic settings. The
DCF symbol "
" is then shown on the display.
The weather station scans for a signal and attempts to synchronise every day at
02:00, 08:00, 14:00 and 20:00 hrs.
You can start the signal scan automatically by pressing the "RCC" button in the
battery compartment of the outdoor sensor.
Once the attempt to receive a signal fails, the weather station stops scanning after
about 5 minutes. The DCF symbol disappears from the display.
Caution! Remember that some devices may be sources of interference for receiving
the signal, such as televisions, computers, etc. You may have problems in receiving
the signal in closed areas such as an airport, factories, cellars etc.
