E Y B O A R D
To access the station’s many features, the Vantage Pro console possesses three
kinds of keys:
• Function keys
The six primary function keys,
TEMP (Temperature), HUM
(Humidity), WIND (Wind speed
and direction), RAIN yr (Total
Year Rain), UV (Ultra-Violet irra-
diance), and BAR (Barometer)
are used to access current
weather information. They lie in
the left side of the double key
column.
• Operation keys
The six operation keys lie on the
right side of the double column.
2ND, TIME, GRAPH, HI/LOW,
CLEAR, and DONE are used to
enter different console modes,
set and clear alarm values,
change measurement units,
select station transmitters, and so
on.
There is a special operation key,
the 2ND key, located in the
upper right hand corner of the
keypad.
• The 2nd key
The second key is used in conjuction with other keys to access alternate func-
tions. Above each function and operation key lies a legend identifying that
key’s alternate use. For example, FORECAST is listed above the TIME key. To
access the Vantage Pro’s forecast, press and release the 2nd key, then press and
release the TIME/FORECAST key.
• Navigation keys
The four navigation keys, two horizontal and two vertical, are arrayed in a
cross shape in the lower right corner of the console. The Navigation keys are
used to enter or change data, and to scroll between displays.
Using the Navigation Keys
You should become familiar with the use of these keys, since they serve many
purposes in operating the Vantage Pro. The Navigation keys are used the same
way, regardless of the current console mode.
