If necessary, you may calibrate temperature, humidity, and wind readings. (Be 
careful when deciding to calibrate; Davis weather stations are factory-
calibrated for accuracy and may not match less accurate or less local data such 
as reported on television or a web page.) Enter the amount of offset you want 
the temperature or humidity reading to be reported. For example, if you believe 
your outside temperature data is consistently 2 degrees too low, enter +2. If you 
believe the outside humidity data is consistently 5% too high, enter -5. You 
must calibrate the wind direction if your anemometer cannot be mounted so 
that the arm points true north. Enter the direction the arm points, if not zero, in 
degrees from 1° to 359°.

3.

Clear Highs and Lows. 

Clear any erroneous highs and lows that were created 

during installation of your station. (For example, while setting up, the wind 
cups and vane were spun. This false “high wind” data should be cleared.)

Note: 

These settings and configurations will be pushed to the Vantage Connect at the first 
update after it is set up and powered. The changes will then be sent to your 
WeatherLink.com page at the 

next 

update. So the changes will not appear on your 

page after at least 2 update intervals. (Update intervals are 5, 15 or 60 minutes 
depending on your service plan). With high network traffic, this may take longer.
