The DCF77 radio control signal is transmitted from a
location near Frankfurt am Main and can be received
at a distance of up to 1500 km. However, there are
some obstacles and sources of interference, which may

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 with can interfere with
the DCF77 radio 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.
