Connecting to Computer

Plug the Display box power cord into a power source (110V unless
otherwise marked).

Plug one end of the serial data cable into the computer COM port.

Turn the Receiver switch on.

The Receiver power indicator light should now be on. The system will take
approximately one minute to boot-up.

With the WEATHERPAK

MTR assembled and running, and after the
Display box has completed the boot-up routine, the amber colored data
light should blink briefly, every 30 seconds. If the light doesn’t blink, refer
to the section on troubleshooting.

In the event your computer does not have a Serial Port available, you
must employ a “Serial to USB” converter. These devices are inexpensive
and readily available from most computer retailers.
