pointing south.  Or, if your station points in a direction other than south, 
check that you have recalibrated the weather vane correctly.  See the “Install-
ing the Anemometer” section of your owner’s manual for instructions. 

  Console locks up

Insufficient power during power up or a power surge may cause the console 
to lock up.  If this occurs, remove all power by disconnecting any battery 
backup and the AC/DC power cord.  Wait for 1 minute with all of the power 
removed.  Then re-connect the AC/DC power cord and listen for 3 beeps 
within 20 seconds (or, with the optional WeatherLink, 4 beeps within 30 sec-
onds).  Once you have received the final beep, install a fresh backup battery, 
if desired, and put the console back into service.
