Valley, first enter the elevation as a positive number. Then, select the "0"

from the left in 0026, for example, or the first zero from the left in 0207)
and press + and - to switch from a positive to negative elevation.
Note:
You can only set the elevation to negative after you have entered a non-zero digit and when
the zero in the position immediately to the left of the left-most non-zero digit has been
selected.

Screen 11: Wind Cup Size

Vantage Pro Stations come standard with large wind cups. Switch this set-
ting to small only if you have separately purchased and installed small wind
cups.
Note:
Large wind cups are more sensitive to low wind speeds and are the best choice for most users.
Small wind cups are less sensitive at low wind speeds but can measure much higher wind
speeds. Install small wind cups if you wish to measure winds over 150 mph (242 km/h).
1. Press + and - to switch between large and small wind cups.
2. Press DONE to move to the next screen.

Screen 12: Rain Collector

The tipping bucket in your Vantage Pro rain collector has been calibrated at
the factory to measure 0.01" of rain with each tip. Although the console
provides 0.01", 0.1mm or 0.2 mm settings, the rain collector requires the
0.01" setting to accurately measure rainfall.
1. Press DONE to use the 0.01" setting and move to the next screen.
Note:
See "Metric Rain Collector Settings" on page 27 for instructions on how to set up your station
to display rain data in millimeters instead of inches.
