The ISS maintains a wireless connection to a Vantage Vue console when the ISS is 
powered and a wireless communication channel has been established between the ISS 
and the console. Follow the steps below for powering the ISS and establishing a 
connection to the console.

• Apply power to your Vantage Vue ISS
• Verify communications with the console
• Verify data is being transmitted from the ISS sensors

The Vantage Vue ISS SIM board stores energy from the solar panel for power at night. 
A 3-volt lithium battery is used as a backup power source. The battery compartment 
cover is located on the underside of the ISS base, as shown in the figure below.

To install the ISS backup battery, follow these steps.

1. Unscrew the 

thumbscrew securing 
the battery compartment 
cover as shown 

2. Insert the 3-volt lithium 

battery into the ISS bat-
tery compartment, as 
shown below, being sure 
to match the “+” sign on 
the battery with the “+” 
sign embossed on the 
inside of the battery 
compartment.

3. Ensure that the battery is firmly 

installed, replace the battery 
compartment cover, and tighten 
the thumbscrew. 

To verify power, push and 
release the white Transmitter ID 
button next to the Battery Com-
partment. The green Transmit-
ter ID LED next to the Battery 
Compartment will illuminate 
when you press the button.

Note: 

Push the button once and release it. Do not push it multiple times or hold it down

When you release the button, it will blink one time every 2.5 seconds to show 
transmission of a data packet. This blinking will stop within a few minutes to con-
serve battery life.

4. Wait five minutes for console to acquire the radio signal and pouplate data fields.
