Power Up
Note: It is important to register your Vantage Connect Retrofit Kit online and wait 5 to 10 min-
utes BEFORE you power it up to avoid a delay in uploading data. If you already powered
up before registering, remove power from the retrofit kit, register, then repower.
Plug in the
power supply
cable to
the
cellular modem
(see the illus-
tration on “Connect to the Weather
Station” on page 5) and plug the
power cord
into the AC outlet to
power up the Retrofit Kit. When
power is applied to the Retrofit Kit,
the status LED should start blinking.
The LED blinks 0.5 seconds on/0.5
seconds off for about 30 seconds at
startup. When it is attempting to log
on to the cellular network, the LED
blinks 0.5 seconds on/2 seconds off.
When it has logged on to the cellular
network, the LED blinks 0.1 sec-
onds on/5 seconds off.
The other LED should always
remain off.
If cellular coverage is poor, it may take the device much longer to register on the
network.
Note: See “My status LED is flashing or always on,” on page 9 for more information on LED
behavior.
Upload and Access Data
Once the Retrofit Kit is registered on the network, it will upload the latest data to
the server.
• Upon first use, the Retrofit Kit will upload only the latest (current) conditions, not
all the previously stored data that may be in your data logger.
• From then on, the Retrofit Kit will upload only new data stored since the last
update.
Data is uploaded to the server along with daily, monthly and yearly highs and
lows data. The “My Weather” page shows the weather conditions uploaded at the
last upload interval.
To access your data online:
1. Go to www.weatherlink.com.
2. Click on
Login
in the upper right-hand corner.
Note: It takes up to 2 minutes for the data received from the Vantage Connect Retrofit Kit to be
processed to the web site. For example, if you have a 5-minute update plan, the data
received at 12:05 may not appear on the web site until 12:07.
