La Crosse Technology 2800 manual DON’T Click the Synchronize Button YET

Page 13

When you click the Resynchronize menu option, the Synchronize dialog will appear.

Once we have the synchronize dialog displayed on your computer we are ready to put the weather station in synchronize mode.

DON’T CLICK THE SYNCHRONIZE BUTTON YET!

At this point, we need to leave the software portion of the synchronization process and get the weather station into synchronize mode.

The reason we need to now prepare the weather station for synchronization is that once the Synchronize button is pressed, the software will scan for a weather station for approximately 30 seconds.

The same is true of the weather station – once it is put into synchronize mode it will scan for a USB device for approximately 30 seconds. We need to have both the software and the weather station in synch mode at the same time for the synchronization to be successful.

Place the weather station approximately 3 to 6 feet from the USB communications device (the USB device is attached to your computer at this point).

Note: The software will refer to this as the ‘USB‐Stick’.

With the synchronize dialog displayed on your computer, continue to the section titled Putting the Weather Station in Synchronize Mode.

PUTTING THE WEATHER STATION IN SYNCHRONIZE MODE

To synchronize the weather station with our computer, we need to put the weather station into scan or synchronize mode.

QUICK INSTRUCTIONS

On the weather station, press and hold the button showing a down arrow until the weather station beeps (approximately 3‐4 seconds). Next click the synchronize button on the software (the ‘Synchronize’ message box should still be displayed on your computer) and the weather station will attempt to synchronize to your PC. Within a minute or two, data from the weather station will display on the Current Weather tab on your computer.

For detailed instructions, continue to the next section.
