Verifying Repeater Communication with a Console
On the Console in Setup Mode Screen 2: Configuring Transmitter IDs:
1. Select the Transmitter ID using the first repeater chain. If the station is not already
turned on with its station type selected, do so now. Turn the station on by pressing the
up arrow until “ON” displays on the screen. Change the station type by pressing
GRAPH until the correct station type displays.
Note: The way the Repeater ID information is accessed depends on the firmware version available on the con-
sole. If the firmware is dated May 2005, the Repeater ID is accessed by pressing WIND. If the firmware
is dated October 2005, the Repeater ID is accessed by pressing 2ND and WIND. Follow the instructions
below based on your console’s firmware.
2. For consoles with May 2005 firmware, press WIND to turn the repeater function on
and to select a Repeater ID. Pressing WIND sets the console to receive the signal from
a repeater instead of directly from a station. The first Repeater ID displayed is
repeater A.
For consoles with October 2005 firmware, press 2ND and then press WIND to enter
Repeater Setup Mode and to select a repeater ID. Pressing 2ND and WIND sets the
console to receive the signal from a repeater instead of directly from a station. Once
the console is in the repeater setup mode, subsequent pressing of WIND continue to
cycle through the all the repeater IDs.
The example below indicates that the console is set up to receive repeater A for Trans-
mitter ID 1.
3. Select the next Transmitter ID using the second repeater chain.
4. Press WIND to turn the repeater function on and display repeater ID information or
2ND and WIND depeding on your console’s firmware. Keep pressing WIND until the
Repeater ID for the last repeater in the second chain of repeaters is displayed. The
example below indicates that the console is set up to receive repeater C for Transmitter
ID 2.
5. Press DONE to continue to other screens in Setup Mode, or press and hold DONE to
return to Current Weather Mode.
Note: In console with the October 2005 version of firmware, the only way to exit Repeater Setup mode is to
press DONE to continue to the next setup screen.
