Use the up and down arrows to set the desired baud rate.
Use the fastest baud rate your modem can handle. 19200 is the fastest baud
rate available and is the default setting on the console.
▲
Press DONE when you’ve got the correct baud rate on the console screen.
Pressing DONE in this screen sends the initialization string to the modem,
so you don’t have to turn the console on and off again.

The instructions below explain how to connect your Weather Monitor II, Weather
Wizard III, or Perception II weather station directly to your computer.
Note: If you extend the cable run beyond 48’ (14.4 m), the software may have difficulty com-
municating with the station.
1. Make a note of the barometric pressure, total rainfall, and (if applicable)
calibration numbers.
You must remove power from the weather station console to install the data
logger. Removing power will cause these stored weather values to be erased.
Use WeatherLink to reenter these values after restoring power to the console.
2. Remove the mounting base from the console.
3. Remove all power from the console by removing the power adapter and bat-
tery backup.
Failure to remove power before installing the data logger may cause damage
to the data logger and/or console.
4. A small switch near the data logger cables controls the baud rate. The
default setting is 2400 baud. If you need to run at 1200 baud, change the set-
ting before connecting the data logger to the console.
