1.

Be sure that you are using Windows 2000, XP or Vista and your PC is connected to the

Internet. You need to have Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1 driver installed in your PC in

order to complete the installation of the HuntFXi program. Most PCs purchased after 2005

will already have this-if you have an older PC, click “Help and Support” in your Start

menu, and then select “Windows Update”. Or, you can download the driver by going to

www.microsoft.com and entering “1.1 net framework” in the search box at the top of

the page, then clicking the magnifying glass to search the site. The name of the file you

need to install is “dotnetfx.exe”.

2.

Check that the USB transmitter is properly connected to the USB port of your PC, so

you are able to run the HuntFXi software and access the forecast data updates from the

internet. If the Transmitter is disconnected while the HuntFXi program is running, you will

see a “Usb Disconnected” pop up window, with options to

reconnect the Transmitter and retry sending data to the

Receiver, or you may opt to continue to run the HuntFXi

program without automatic updates to the Receiver, or

Exit the program.

3.

If “PC Not Found-Try Searching Again” appears on the Receiver display (or “PC Lost”), your

PC was shut down or its power interrupted. Make sure the USB Transmitter is connected,

and restart the PC. The HuntFXi application should automatically launch after startup (if

not, double click its desktop icon). If you see the “Usb Disconnected” message, unplug

then reconnect the Transmitter, and click “Retry”. Make sure the HuntFXi application has

the current weather data ready to send to the Receiver by clicking “Update” (it may take

a few minutes to gather all the 7-Day forecast data from the internet server, especially if

you have multiple locations setup. Press the SEARCH button on the back of the Receiver

to change its display message to “Searching for PC”, then click “Send to Receiver” in the

HuntFXi window. The Transmitter LED should light, then blink as the updated data is sent,

and the Receiver display should indicate “PC Found...”

4.

Be sure all 4 batteries in the Receiver are fresh. Replace the batteries when the low

battery indicator appears.

5.

If the toolbar icon for the HuntFXi program disappears (in the lower right of your PC

screen), the application was terminated and is no longer accessing the forecast from the

internet. Restart the program again. Instead of exiting the program if you don’t want

its window open, click the “-” on the top right of the application window. To restore the

HuntFXi window, right click its icon in the system tray on the bottom right of your PC

screen, and then click “Open”.
