Connecting Vantage Pro, Vantage Pro2, or Vantage
Vue Console
The instructions below explain how to connect your Vantage Pro, Vantage
Pro2, or Vantage Vue console directly to your computer.
Complete the local USB connection by using the instructions below.
Note: For Weather Envoy, see your Envoy Manual for instructions on how to install the data
logger and connect to the computer.
1. Enter the console's Setup Mode by pressing and holding DONE, then
pressing the down arrow (-).
Entering Setup Mode ensures that the station is not writing any data
and saves the current daily weather information to memory.
2. Remove the battery cover from the console and remove all power by
removing the batteries and AC-power adapter, if present.
Note: Failure to remove power to the console before installing the data logger may cause
damage to the data logger or console. Plugging or unplugging the data logger while
power is applied can lock up or damage the logger.
3. Firmly insert the USB data logger into the large receptacle marked
EXPANSION inside the battery compartment.
4. Guide the data logger cable through the square slot below the recepta-
cle.
5. Restore power to the console by reinstalling the batteries and reattach-
ing the power adapter, if present. The console beeps three times in Van-
tage Pro, four times inVantage Vue; each beep occurs within one second
of the others.
6. Replace the battery cover, ensuring that the data logger cable exits
through the square slot.
7. Locate a free USB port on your computer and connect the USB connec-
tor to the port.
