• Use the HISTORY button [f] to enter the base station memory.
Note: the default interval for data memory is 30 minutes. This interval can only be changed via the software
(refer to §9 PC connection).

Note: when the end of the memory is reached, the base station returns to normal display.
• To clear the complete memory, press the ENTER button [b]. The word CLE [4] and the memory indicator
[5] will start flashing. Press and hold the ENTER button [b] for ±3s to erase the memory.
Note: to save a copy of the memory on a PC, refer to §9 PC connection.

8.1 Initialization
RF connection
• When batteries are inserted into the base station, it enters RF receiving mode and tries to connect to
the sensor for 144s. When connection is established, it will receive data for temperature, humidity,
wind speed and rain each 48s, for light intensity each 60s. Do not press any key until outdoor data
is displayed to avoid interrupting the learning process.
• If reception fails 8 times in a row, connection is lost and outdoor temperature [12] and humidity
[11] indicate "----". The base station enters RF receiving mode again for 144s.
• To force RF receiving state manually, press and hold the
DCF connection
• When batteries are inserted into the thermo-hygrometer (sensor) it will first transmit weather data
for 24s.
• Then it will start looking for a DCF signal for about 5 minutes. If no signal is found, it will attempt
again every hour until it does. Meanwhile the time can be set manually (see §7).
• Once a signal is received, the sensor transmits the signal to the base station and the time is
updated; the RCC indicator [18] is shown.
Notes:
When your time zone is not UTC+1:00 (GMT + 1:00) you should set the time manually to
o
ensure the time is updated correctly once DCF connection is established.
Best reception for DCF signals is between midnight and 6:00am.

The WS3080 thermo-hygrometer contains a receiver which
receives a radio-signal from a radio station located at Mainflingen
near Frankfurt, Germany. This long-wave radio-signal (DCF77,
77.5 kHz) is based on atomic clocks and contains time and date
information. For more information refer to
Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt). The WS3080
automatically synchronizes with this master clock radio-signal.
Due to its nature, the radio-signal can be received indoors.
However, it should be noted that the signal is weakened by the
presence of concrete and metal. Therefore the clock must not be
installed in concrete basements or inside metal cages. In large
concrete office buildings or apartments, the clock should be located
near a window for better reception. Also avoid installing the clock
near strong magnetic fields or other devices that generate a lot of
electrical noise (e.g. engines).
