Configuring the weather start screen on FRITZ!Fon

FRITZ!Fon allows you to select a start screen with the current weather forecast. The "Weather" start screen displays the weather station used, current temperature, and the high and low temperatures for the day.

Requirements / Restrictions

  • A FRITZ!Fon C4, C5, C6 or X6 is being used.
  • A MyFRITZ! account is configured in the FRITZ!Box.

1 Installing the latest software

  1. Install the latest software on the telephone.

2 Entering your location information

The FRITZ!Box determines your location for the forecast data using your telephone number's area code, for example 030 for Berlin:

  1. Click "Telephony" in the FRITZ!Box user interface.
  2. Click "Telephone Numbers" in the "Telephony" menu.
  3. Click on the "Line Settings" tab. If the tab is not displayed, the correct location information is automatically entered by your provider.
  4. Select your country from the drop-down list under "Location Information".
  5. For the "Country code", enter the leading zeros in the first field and the country code in the second field (for example, enter "00" and "49" for Germany, see fig.).
  6. For the "Area code", enter the leading zero in the first field and the area code in the second field (for example "0" and "30" for Berlin, see fig.).

    Fig.: Entering the country code and area code (e.g. for Germany and Berlin)

  7. Click "Apply" to save the settings.

  1. Press the "Menu" key on the telephone.
  2. Select "Start screens" and press "OK".

  1. While the weather start screen is active, press the "OK" button on the telephone.
  2. Press the right select key "Options".
