Installing the AC Power Adapter (Optional)
1.Find the power jack located on the left side of the
console case.
2.Insert the power adapter plug into the console
power jack, then plug the other end of the adapter
into an appropriate power outlet.
3.Check to make sure the console runs through a
brief self-test procedure successfully. See
“Installing Batteries” on page 3 for information on
the self-test procedure.
Console Location
Place the console in a location where the keyboard is easily accessible and the display
is easy to read. For more accurate readings, follow these suggestions.
• Avoid placing the console in direct sunlight. This may cause erroneous inside
temperature and humidity readings and may damage the unit.
• Avoid placing the console near radiators or heating/air conditioning ducts.
• If you are mounting the console on a wall, choose an interior wall. Avoid exterior
walls that tend to heat up or cool down depending on the weather.
• Avoid positioning a wireless console near large metallic appliances such as
refrigerators, televisions, heaters, or air conditioners.
• The console antenna does not rotate in a complete circle. Avoid forcing the
console antenna when rotating it.
• Be aware of possible interference from cordless phones or other devices. To
prevent interference, maintain a distance of 10 feet (3 meters) between the
Vantage Vue console and a cordless phone (handset and base).
Table & Shelf Placement
The console comes with a kickstand so that the console
can be displayed on any flat surface. To install the
kickstand:
1. Locate the two keyholes on the back of the console.
2. Place the two round tabs on the kickstand into the
two keyholes and slide the kickstand up into place.
3. Install the two round rubber feet on the bottom of
the console.
4. Install the two rubber channel feet on the kickstand.
