1. Press the + and - keys to cycle through time zones.
2. If your time zone is not shown, press 2ND then press the + and - keys to set
your UTC offset (UTC offset uses 15 minute increments).
3. Press DONE to select the time zone or UTC offset shown on the screen and
move to the next screen.
Screen 3: Daylight Saving Settings
In most of the United States and Canada (except Saskatchewan, Arizona,
Hawaii) and Europe you should use the AUTO Daylight Saving setting. The
console is pre-programmed to use the correct starting and stopping dates for
daylight saving time in these areas, based on the time zone setting in Screen 2:
Time Zone.
Weather stations located outside
North America and Europe, or in
areas that do not observe daylight
saving time should use the
MANUAL setting.
1. Press the + and - keys to choose Auto or Manual.
2. Press DONE to move to the next screen.
Screen 4: Daylight Saving Status
Use this screen to either verify the
correct automatic daylight saving
status or to set daylight saving
manually.
1. If the daylight saving setting is MANUAL, press the + and - keys to turn
daylight saving time on or off on the appropriate days of the year. This will
advance the time one hour. (Similarly, if you turn daylight saving time off,
the time will be set back one hour.)
If you have an AUTO daylight saving setting, the console displays the
appropriate setting based on the current time and date.
2. Press DONE to move to the next screen.
Screen 5: Active Transmitters
Screen 5 displays the message “Receiving from...” and shows the ID number of
any transmitters being received by the console. The rest of the screen is blank.
If your ISS uses the factory settings
and your console is receiving the
signal, the screen displays
“RECEIVING FROM 1.” The
antenna icon displays if any station
has been received. The antenna icon will not display if the console has not
received a signal from a station.
If a Vantage Pro2 ISS or Anemometer Transmitter kit has been installed, its ID
number will also be displayed.
