TROUBLESHOOTING

1. Be sure that you are using Windows 2000, XP or Vista and your

PC is connected to the Internet. You need to have Microsoft .NET

Framework 1.1 driver installed in your PC in order to complete the

installation of the Weather FXi program. Most PCs purchased after

2005 will already have this-if you have an older PC, click “Help and

Support” in your Start menu, and then select “Windows Update”.

You may also go to this link to download the driver directly and

software and access the forecast data updates from the internet. If

the Transmitter is disconnected while the Weather FXi program is

options to reconnect the Transmitter and retry sending data to

the Receiver, or you may opt to continue

Exit the program.

display (or “PC Lost”), your PC was shut down or its power

interrupted. Make sure the USB Transmitter is connected, and

restart the PC. The Weather FXi application should automatically

launch after startup (if not, double click its desktop icon). If you

see the “Usb Disconnected” message, unplug then reconnect

the Transmitter, and click “Retry”. Make sure the Weather FXi

Receiver by clicking “Update” (it may take a few minutes to gather
