Prepare For Installation - Davis Instruments Vantage Pro2 User Manual

• If necessary, you may calibrate temperature, humidity, and wind readings. (Be
careful when deciding to calibrate; Davis weather stations are factory-
calibrated for accuracy and may not match less accurate or less local data such
as reported on television or a web page.) Enter the amount of offset you want
the temperature or humidity reading to be reported. For example, if you believe
your outside temperature data is consistently 2 degrees too low, enter +2. If you
believe the outside humidity data is consistently 5% too high, enter -5. You
must calibrate the wind direction if your anemometer cannot be mounted so
that the arm points true north. Enter the direction the arm points, if not zero, in
degrees from 1° to 359°.

3. My Account. Enter your account information.
• Enter your City, State, Country, and latitude & longitude
• Enter a name for your station (this will become your web page title)
• Choose a station type and usage from the pull-down menus
• Choose whether to show display 24-hour time
• Check the "Keep 'My Weather' private" box if you do not want your current
weather to be seen without a password. (No private information appears on this
screen.)
4. If any erroneous data has been logged during setup and installation, you
should clear highs and lows. (For example, while setting up, the wind cups
and vane were spun. This false "high wind" data should be cleared.) To clear,
click Manage Stored Data.
5. Click Save.
6. You can edit these settings at any time by logging in to your account and
clicking My Account then [edit] (to edit account information or change your
password); or, in the My Device box: Edit Configuration, Edit Settings, or
Manage Stored Data.
Note: These settings and configurations will be pushed to the Vantage Connect at the first
update after it is set up and powered. The changes will then be sent to your
WeatherLink.com page at the next update. So the changes will not appear on your
page after at least 2 update intervals. (Update intervals are 5, 15 or 60 minutes
depending on your service plan). With high network traffic, this may take longer.
