DETAILED INSTRUCTIONS

To tell the weather station to start communicating with the software, press and hold the button showing a down arrow until the weather station beeps (approximately 3‐4 seconds).

When you hear the beep, this indicates that the weather station is now searching for the USB communication device.

While the weather station searches for a USB communication device, it will display ‘SCn‐PC’ next to the time.

The weather station should now be in scan mode. Now on your computer, click the Synchronize button.

When the weather station finds the USB device, it will beep and the display will show ‘PC’ in the lower line (unless the date is being displayed). The software will then update with the current weather data from the display.

This indicates that the weather station has successfully connected (“synchronized”) with the USB communications device (software).

Note: If the date is being displayed, you will not see “PC”.

Note: It can take up to 30 seconds for the synchronization to complete.

Note: You may have to try the synchronization process more than once.
