If you do not know your latitude and longitude, there are several ways to find
out. Many atlases include latitude and longitude lines. You can also talk to the
reference department of your local library, or try calling your local airport. The
more accurate you are, the better; however, a reasonable estimate will work,
too.
Use the LEFT and RIGHT arrow keys to move between numbers. Use the "+"
and "-" arrow keys to change digits. Use the UNITS key to specify North or
South (of the equator). Press and release the DONE key to move to Setup
screen 6.
Setup Mode - Screen 6: Longitude
Enter your longitude as above. Use the UNITS key to specify EAST or WEST
(of the Prime Meridian). Press and release the DONE key to move to Setup
screen 7.
Setup Mode - Screen 7: Time Zone
Use the "+" and "-" keys to choose a time zone. If your time zone is not shown,
use the 2ND key to enter your raw Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) offset in 15
minute increments. Press and release the DONE key to move to Setup screen 8.
Setup Mode - Screen 8: Daylight Savings Detection
Use the "+" and "-" keys to choose Auto or Manual. Most users in North Amer-
ica, including Mexico, may select Auto (excepting Saskatchewan, Indiana, Ari-
zona & Hawaii). All other users should choose Manual. Press and release the
DONE key to move to Setup screen 9.
Setup Mode - Screen 9: Daylight Savings Status
If you chose "Manual" in screen 7, use the "+" and "-" arrow keys to turn Day-
light Savings Time on or off. If you chose "Detect" in screen 7, the console will
display the appropriate setting, based on the current time and date. Press and
release the DONE key to move to screen 10.
Setup Mode - Screen 10: Elevation
Meteorologists standardize barometric pressure data to sea level so that surface
readings are comparable, whether they're taken on a mountainside or by the
ocean. For the Vantage Pro to make this same standardization and ensure accu-
rate readings, enter your elevation in this screen.
Use the LEFT and RIGHT arrow keys to move between fields. Use the "+" and
"-" keys to select digits. Use the UNITS key to select feet or meters. Press and
release the DONE key to move to Setup screen 11.
If you do not know your elevation, there are several ways to find out. Many
atlases and almanacs include elevation for cities and towns. You can also talk to
the reference department of your local library. The more accurate you are, the
better; however, a reasonable estimate will work, too.
