3. Plug the other end of the power adapter into an appropriate power outlet or, prefera-
bly, into a computer-grade surge protector.
It is highly recommended that you plug the power adapter into a computer-grade surge
protector, especially in lightning-prone areas.
Once power is applied, the console
should run through a brief self-test procedure. All of the display segments
appear, and the console beeps twice within 10 seconds (3 times within 20 seconds
if WeatherLink is installed) to indicate everything is working properly.
After the second beep (or the third beep with WeatherLink), the compass
rose and the time (reading 12:00 a.m.) appear on the display.
To Install the Battery Backup Power Supply
Before you install the backup battery, make sure AC power is connected and
the console is completely powered up. Installing the battery first can cause the
console to lock up.
Once the console is powered up, install the backup battery as shown below.
Note:
When the unit is operating on battery power, the digits on the right side of the display blink on and
off. The unit operates normally in all other respects.

The junction box is the connecting point between the external sensors and the
console. Information from the sensors comes into the junction box. The junc-
tion box then relays that information to the console where it is processed and
displayed.
To Connect the Console and Junction Box
1. Plug one end of the 8-foot (2.4-meter) long junction box cable into the jack labeled
JUNCTION BOX underneath the console.
2. Plug the other end of the cable into the jack marked CONSOLE on the junction box.
