6.2 Selecting the channel/other measuring stations
Note
• You can install two more measuring stations in addition to
the included measuring station. Ensure that the base and
measuring stations are set to the same channel.
Visit www.hama.com for suitable measuring stations.
• Press the CH+ button (13) repeatedly to set the channel to that
set on the respective measuring station – see 4.1. Measuring
station. Either 1, 2 or 3 (11) is displayed.
• The base station now shows the data measured (8, 9) on the
selected measuring station (11).
• Press and hold the CH+ button (13) to select the channel scan. The
measurement values of the individual measuring stations/channels
(11) are displayed consecutively for 4 seconds each.
• Press the CH+ button (13) again to return to normal mode.
6.3 Basic and manual settings
Automatic setting using the DCF signal
After the rst time the base station is switched on and successful
transmission is established between the base station and the
measuring station, the clock will automatically search for a DCF signal.
During the search, the wireless symbol (5) will ash.
When the radio signal is received, the date and time are automatically
set.

Note – Time settings
• If, during initial setup of the device, a DCF radio signal is not
received within the rst few minutes, the search is aborted. The
radio symbol disappears.
• If there are reception problems, we recommend leaving the clock
to sit overnight, since interference is generally less at night.
• In the meantime, you can start a manual search for the DCF
radio signal at another location or you can manually set the
time and date.
• The clock automatically continues to search for the DCF radio
signal on a daily basis (2:00 a.m., 8:00 a.m., 2:00 p.m. and
8:00 p.m.). If the signal is received successfully, the manually set
time and date are overwritten.
• Press the RCC button (19) to start the manual search for the DCF
radio signal.
Note – Manual search
• The manual search is automatically aborted after 6-16 minutes.
• Using the RCC button (19) frequently will drain the battery.
We recommend only using this function to seek out an optimal
location for the device.
Note – Summer time
The clock automatically switches to summer time. DST appears on
the display as long as summer time is activated.
Manually setting
• Press and hold the DISPLAY SET button (16) for approx. 3 seconds
to make the following settings one after the other:
• 12/24-hour format (1)
• Hours (1)
• Minutes (1)
• Seconds (only zeros possible) (1)
• Time zone (1)
• To select the individual values, press the CH+ button (13) or the
MEM– button (17) and con rm each selection by pressing the
DISPLAY SET button (16).
• If you do not make an entry for 60 seconds, you automatically exit
the setup mode.
Note – Time zone
• The DCF signal can be received over long distances, but always
transmits the current Central European Time in Germany. Make
sure you account for the time difference in countries with
another time zone.
• If you are in Moscow, the time is 3 hours later than in Germany.
This means that you should set +3 for the time zone. The clock
then automatically sets the time to 3 hours after the DCF signal
received or relative to the manually set time.
