Screen 13: Rain Season

Because rainy seasons begin and end at different times in different parts of the world, you must specify the month you wish your yearly rain data to

begin. January 1st is the default. The date the rain season begins affects yearly rain rate highs and lows.

Screen 13: Rain Season

1.Press the up and down arrows to select the month for the start of the rainy season.

2.Press DONE to move to the next screen.

Note:	This setting determines when the yearly rain total is reset to zero. Davis Instruments
	recommends a January rain season setting (the default), unless you reside in the
	west coast of the United States, the Mediterranean coast, experience dry winters in
	the Southern Hemisphere, or or are performing hydrology studies in any of these cli-
	mates. If so, change the rain season setting to July 1st.
	Screen 14: Serial Baud Rate
	The Baud Rate screen displays if the console detects that a WeatherLink
	data logger installed on the console.
	The console uses a serial or USB port to communicate with a computer. If
	you are connecting the console directly to your computer, leave the setting
	at 19200, the highest rate for the port. If you’re using a modem, use the
	highest setting your modem can handle. The console must be equipped
	with a WeatherLink data logger to communicate with a computer.
