As part of Davis’ emphasis on customer service, we include here some infor-
mation on Vantage Pro’s diagnostic screen. The information can help you diag-
nose problems; however, it’s probably best used in conjunction with a call to
Davis Technical Support.
• Press and hold the TEMP key, then press the TIME key to enter the diagnostic
screen. Press the DONE key to exit.
Receiver Gain Status
Note especially number 12 above, Receiver Gain Status. Gain is another way of
saying receiver sensitivity. If you’re having trouble with reception, try turning
the Gain on using the HI/LOW key from within the transmission diagnostic
screen. The message in the ticker will change to GAIN ON.
