MUST READ BEFORE GETTING STARTED
Your Meteotime Weather Station is different to traditional weather stations which measure the
prevailing conditions only, the data of this weather station is based on the METEOTIME which
is worked out on a daily basis by highly professional meteorologists using state-of-art
instruments.
The Meteotime Weather Station is engineered in such a way that it is able to receive the coded
METEOTIME signal containing the weather information. The information is broadcasted via
the stations for radio-controlled clocks HBG (located in Switzerland) and DCF77 (located in
Germany). For this reason, your Meteotime Weather Station is also a radio-controlled clock
with all the known advantages, such as always showing the exact time, and automatic change to
daylight saving time in winter and in summer.
You are able to receive weather forecasts for 90 meteorological regions within Europe
a 2-day-advance forecasts.
Watch the symbol GOOD RECEPTION or BAD RECEPTION on the display. Once you
have found the right location for GOOD RECEPTION, you may leave the Meteotime
Weather Station there, it will collect its data by radio controlled signal. Within a few
minutes time and the date will appear. However, the transfer of the very large amount of
data (forecast for all regions and days) will take much longer.
To completely receive all data will take up to 24 hours from the time of the initial setup.
