✦ If there is no WeatherLink plugged into the ConsoleLink, the weather station
beeps once more, about eight seconds later. After another 25 seconds, the
ConsoleLink beeps once.
✦ If there is a WeatherLink plugged into the ConsoleLink, the weather station beeps
again twenty-three seconds later. Then, the ConsoleLink beeps twice within the
next five seconds.
✦ If there is a SensorLink plugged into the console you hear a total of five beeps. The
weather station beeps again twenty-three seconds later. Then the ConsoleLink
beeps twice within the next five seconds. Finally, the SensorLink beeps once.

✦ The DavisTalk receiver is receiving erratic data.
Another Davis wireless system may be operating nearby on the same ID or,
a cordless phone may be operating within 10 feet of the receiver. You can
try changing to a different ID code on both the receiver and the transmitter
or, try moving the phone.
✦ The DavisTalk receiver is not receiving any data.
The transmitter and the receiver may be too far apart or, something in their
path may be interfering, such as foliage, furnishings or, cordless phones.
Set the Test Mode on the transmitter to see if it is transmitting data.Try
moving the receiver closer to the transmitter or, vice versa or, eliminating
possible path interferences. Verify that both the ConsoleLink and the
receiver use the same ID code.
✦ The ConsoleLink does not transmit data.
