2. Ensure that the ISS cable is not twisted through the access port.
Note: The ISS must be assembled and connected to the console so that it is receiving
power before the console connection can be tested.
Once the console and ISS are both powered up, cable connection should be
tested and established.
Once the console is powered, it automatically enters Setup Mode. You can step
through the Setup Mode options, or exit the Setup Mode to test the connection
and sensor readings in Current Weather Mode. See "Setup Mode" on page 9
for Setup Mode options. See "Current Weather Mode" on page 20 for viewing
and verifying current weather data coming from the cabled console.
To verify that the console is receiving data from the ISS through the console
connection, see "Cabled ISS Assembly" in the Integrated Sensor Suite Instal-
lation Manual.

Console Location

You should place the console in a location where the keyboard is easily acces-
sible and the display is easy to read. For more accurate readings, follow these
suggestions.
• Avoid placing the console in direct sunlight. This may cause erroneous
inside temperature and humidity readings and may damage to the unit.
• Avoid placing the console near radiators or heating/air conditioning ducts.
• If you are mounting the console on a wall, choose an interior wall. Avoid
exterior walls that tend to heat up or cool down depending on the weather.
• If you have a wireless console, be aware of possible interference from
cordless phones or other devices. To prevent interference, maintain a dis-
tance of 10 feet between the Vantage Pro2 console and a cordless phone
(handset and base).
• Avoid positioning a wireless console near large metallic surfaces such as
refrigerators.
