Troubleshooting guide

Console Diagnostic Mode

Check Console Reception

Enter Setup Mode by pressing and releasing 2ND and pressing SETUP. Keep pressing DONE

until the “Receiving From...”screen displays. (See “Screen 5: Active Transmitters” on page 8

for more information.) Wait a few minutes while the console lists all the stations transmitting

within range. If the console does not detect your transmitter, check the following:

• Adjust the console antenna so that it is vertical and in line-of-sight the Vantage Vue ISS

antenna.

Note: The Vantage Vue ISS antenna cannot be adjusted. Ensure that the console antenna is

vertical.

• Check the ISS and transmitter ID numbers. See“Screen 6: Configuring Transmitter IDs”

on page 9.

• Try reducing or increasing the distance between the ISS and the console. They should be

at least 10 feet (3 meters) apart. Maximum range is 1000’ (300 m) line-of-sight.

Refer to the ISS Installation Manual for instructions on how to check the station for potential

transmission problems.

Console Diagnostic Mode

In addition to logging weather data, the console continuously monitors the station’s radio

reception. You may find this information very helpful, especially when you are choosing

locations for your console and ISS.

The Console Diagnostics Mode consists of two screens: the Statistical Diagnostic Screen and

the Reception Diagnostic Screen.

Note: Radio transmission data used by the diagnostic screens clears each day at midnight, except

for % Good Packet graph data. Diagnostic screens are also cleared if you change your ID or

go into the Setup Mode.

Diagnostic Screen Commands

• Press and hold TEMP, then press HUM to display the Statistical Diagnostic screen.

• Press 2ND and then press CHILL to toggle between the Statistical and Reception

Diagnostic screens.

• Press DONE to exit the diagnostic screens.

• A degree (

°) sign displays to the right of the last digit in Value 3 (in the area of the

compass rose, see illustration on next page) of the Reception Diagnostic screen (screen 2)

to differentiate which screen is currently displayed.
