4. Make a note of your station’s current barometric pressure, total rainfall, and (if appli-
cable) calibration numbers.
You must remove power from the station console to install the WeatherLink,
which will cause these values to be erased. Use the WeatherLink software to
reenter these values after restoring power to the station.
5. Remove the mounting base from the console and remove all power by removing the
AC-power adapter and battery backup.
Failure to remove power to the console before installing the WeatherLink may
cause damage to the WeatherLink or console.
6. Insert the cable plug at the end of the short cable coming from the WeatherLink into
the jack marked
WEATHERLINK on the bottom of the console.
7. Connect the Telephone Modem Adapter to the external modem.
Do not attempt to use the DB25 adapter and a gender changer to attach the
WeatherLink to a modem because it will not work.
8. Insert the cable plug at the end of the long cable coming from the WeatherLink into the
Telephone Modem Adapter.
9. Turn the modem on.
The modem must be on before you restore power to the station console.
10. Restore power to the weather station by reattaching the power adapter and battery.
The weather station should beep three times. The third beep, which should
occur within 30 seconds, indicates that the WeatherLink is operating correctly.
11. Place the WeatherLink inside the mounting base and reattach the mounting base.
As you do so, guide the cables through the slots in the mounting base.
