7 ensures optimum reception in the initialization pha se. If the si gnal from the sensor is unable to be received within this time, then the reception is affected and shou ld be im proved by re-positioning the sensor. The external temperature and hum idity sensors shoul d be addressed according to sectio n 2.
8 electronics. The upper pa rt of the housing can now be placed so that the solar cell is on the same side as the magnet, with the electronic part directly opposite it, with the three cat ches fitting neatly into the holding devices in the lower part .
9 2.3.8 Information on the storage of solar cell po w ered outdoor sen sors These sensors receive their operating vo lt age from a solar cell that charges an internal battery to provide po wer for periods of darkness and ba d weather.
10 3.1.1. General settings Illumination settings To switch on the illumination, press any touch screen field on the display.

18 The maximum values the last 8 days are display ed. 3. Here, the “Graph” symbol shows that the trend display for the air pressure has been selected in the h istory field. It only appears if it has previously been selected (see section on “Hi story ”).
19 1 2 3 1 2 3 1 Please note: - With temperature and pressure, the hist ory is shown referred to the current value. Here the display can optionally be in the form of a bar or line diagram according to the setting in the configuratio n mode.
20 1 2 3.2.9. Time/Date The display field for the time/date is situ ated at the bottom center of the display: 24h format 12 h format 1. The time is displayed in hours and min utes and the da te with the day of the week, day and month. Seconds are indicated by the two flashing dots.
