1. Enter the console’s Setup Mode by pressing and holding DONE, then
pressing the down arrow (-). Entering Setup Mode ensures that the station
is not writing any data and saves the current daily weather information to
memory.
2. Power down your console or Envoy. Remove the battery cover, the
batteries, and AC-power adapter, if present. Failure to remove power to
the console or Envoy before installing or uninstalling any data logger may
cause damage to the data logger or console.
3. Firmly insert the data logger into the large receptacle marked
EXPANSION inside the battery compartment.
4. Firmly insert the data logger with serial connector into the receptacle
marked EXPANSION inside the battery compartment.
5. Locate a free serial port on the back of the computer and connect the blue
serial port adapter to the port.
6. Insert the cable plug at the end of the short cable coming from the data
logger into the receptacle on the end of the 8' (2.4) cable. Then insert the
cable plug on the end of the 8' cable into the serial port adapter.
7. Reconnect the AC adapter, if present, and then reinsert the batteries.
The console beeps four times (Vantage Vue) or three times (Vantage
Pro2); each beep occurring within one second of the others. Once power
has been returned to the console, the Setup Mode is automatically
displayed.
(The Weather Envoy beeps two times within one second of each other.)
8. Replace the battery cover so that the data logger cable exits through the
square slot.
Note: To extend the cable connection between the console/data logger and computer, you
may use a 40' (12 m), straight-through 4-conductor extension cable.
