Using Your Weather Station
The console LCD screen and keyboard provide easy access to your weather

conditions as well as a forecast of future conditions. The keyboard controls
console functions for viewing current and historical weather information, set-
ting and clearing alarms, changing stations types, viewing and/or changing
station settings, setting up and viewing graphs, selecting sensors, getting the
forecast, and so on.
Console Modes
The Vantage Pro2 console operates in five different modes:

Setup Mode provides access to the station configuration settings that control
how the station operates. Setup Mode consists of series of screens for select-
ing console and weather station options. The screens that display in Setup

erLink Getting Started Guide for more information on connecting your con-
sole to your computer.
