most non-zero digit (the second zero from the left in 0026, for example, or the first
zero from the left in 0207) and press the + and - keys to switch from a positive to

Screen 11: Wind Cup Size
Vantage Pro2 stations come standard with large wind cups. Switch this setting to
SMALL CUP if you have separately purchased and installed small wind cups. Switch
to OTHER if you are receiving from a Vantage Vue ISS or are using a third-party ane-
mometer.
Note: Large wind cups are more sensitive to low wind speeds and are the best choice for
most users.
