Screen 1: Active Transmitters
Screen 1 displays the message “Receiving from...” and shows the transmitters being 
received by the console. In addition, an “X” blinks in the lower right-hand corner of the 
screen every time the console receives a data packet from a station. The rest of the LCD 
screen is blank. 
If you have a cabled station, or if your wireless ISS uses the factory settings and you are 
receiving the signal, the screen displays “Receiving from station No. 1.” Any optional 
stations that have been installed should also display.
Screen 1: Active Transmitters
Note: 
An ISS or optional station must be powered for the console to recognize it. Refer to 
the Integrated Sensor Suite Installation Manual or optional station installation instruc-
tions for more information. It make take several minutes for the console to acquire 
and display a Transmitter ID.
1. Make a note of the station number(s) listed on the screen.
Note: 
If a Vantage Pro2 or Vantage Vue ISS has been installed in your area, its ID number 
may also be displayed.
2. Press DONE to move to the next screen.
The console can receive signals from up to eight transmitters total, but there is a limit 
on the number of certain types of transmitters. The table below lists the maximum num-
ber of stations allowable for a receiver:
Maximum Number of Transmitters in a Network with One Receiver
*Two are allowable only if both stations are only partially populated. For example, A network can either 
have both a Leaf Wetness/Temperature station and a Soil Moisture/Temperature station, or it can 
have one combined Leaf Wetness and Soil Moisture/Temperature station.
Note: 
Listening to more than one transmitter may reduce battery life significantly.
Screen 2: Configuring Transmitter IDs — Wireless Only 
(If you have a cabled station, press DONE and continue on to “Screen 4: Time & Date” 
on page 12.)
Setup screen 2 allows you to change the ISS transmitter ID and to add or remove 
optional transmitter stations. The default transmitter ID setting is “1” (ISS), which 
works fine for most installations.
