Wireless Repeater Overview

The Davis Wireless Repeater can be used with any Vantage Pro2 wireless station to
retransmit weather data to a Vantage Pro2 compatible receiver (Vantage Pro2 or Vantage
Vue console, Weather Envoy, Envoy8X, or Vantage Connect). It can be used to extend
the distance between one station and a receiver, or in conjunction with other repeaters to
create a flexible network of stations and repeaters.

Note: The repeater is fully compatible with Vantage Vue weather stations. Please refer to your

Vantage Vue

Console Manual

, Appendix C: Repeater Configuration, for specific Vantage Vue configuration

instructions. (The manual can be found on our web site at www.davisnet.com/support.) Please note that
the illustrations in this manual often depict multiple transmitters which are only supported in Vantage
Pro2 and Envoy.
