2. Use the “Transmitter and Repeater ID Worksheet” located inside the cover of this
manual to record the transmitter ID used.
Optional: Changing Transmitter ID
If there is any reason that the transmitter ID needs to be set to another channel, the DIP
switch should be set now to the desired ID.
To change to another ID:
1. Use a paper clip to turn DIP switch positions #1, 2, and 3 on and off as desired using
the Transmitter ID Table (on the previous page) to change the station to the desired
transmitter ID.
The transmitter ID can be changed if any of the following issues are true:
• Another Davis Instruments wireless weather station operating nearby already uses
transmitter ID 1.
Note: Keep in mind that the repeater comes preset to listen for transmitter ID 1. If you have only one station, it
is recommended that you keep the station on ID 1.
• Additional wireless transmitting stations have been purchased and one of the sta-
tions has been designated as Station ID 1 instead of the selected ISS.
Viewing Stations Transmitting to the Console
If the station is too far away or in an inconvenient location, making it hard to view the
transmitter ID from the station, the console can be used to determine the transmitter ID.
To find the transmitter ID using the console:
1. Place the console in an area where it is likely to receive the transmitter signal.
2. Press the DONE and down arrow (-) keys at the same time. The first screen in the
Setup Mode is displayed. This screen locates and eventually displays the active trans-
mitter IDs the console is receiving. See the Vantage Pro2 Console Manual for more
information about Setup Mode and the first screen.
3. Use the “Transmitter and Repeater ID Worksheet” located inside the front cover, to
record the transmitter ID used.
4. Return to the Current Weather Mode by pressing and holding down DONE.
Note: It may take several minutes for the console to discover and display all transmitter IDs. This screen will
only display stations the console can hear successfully. Even if a transmitter ID has been successfully
configured, the console does not receive the signal unless it is in range.
