1. Be sure that you are using Windows 2000, XP or Vista and your PC is

connected to the Internet. You need to have Microsoft .NET Framework

1.1 driver installed in your PC in order to complete the installation of

the Weather FXi program. Most PCs purchased after 2005 will already

have this-if you have an older PC, click “Help and Support” in your Start

menu, and then select “Windows Update”.

Or, you can download the driver by going to www.microsoft.com and

entering “1.1 net framework” in the search box at the top of the page,

then clicking the magnifying glass to search the site. The name of the

file you need to install is “dotnetfx.exe”.

2. Check that the USB transmitter is properly connected to the USB

port of your PC, so you are able to run the Weather FXi software and

access the forecast data updates from the internet. If the Transmitter

is disconnected while the Weather FXi program is running, you will

see a “Usb Disconnected” pop up window, with options to reconnect

the Transmitter and retry sending data to the Receiver, or you may opt

to continue to run the Weather FXi program

without automatic updates to the Receiver, or

Exit the program.

3. If “PC Not Found-Try Searching Again”

appears on the Receiver display (or “PC Lost”), your PC was shut down

or its power interrupted. Make sure the USB Transmitter is connected,

and restart the PC. The Weather FXi application should automatically

launch after startup (if not, double click its desktop icon). If you see the

“Usb Disconnected” message, unplug then reconnect the Transmitter,

and click “Retry”. Make sure the Weather FXi application has the current

weather data ready to send to the Receiver by clicking “Update” (it

may take a few minutes to gather all the 7-Day forecast data from the

internet server, especially if you have multiple locations setup. Press

the SEARCH button on the back of the Receiver to change its display

message to “Searching for PC”, then click “Send to Receiver” in the

Weather FXi window. The Transmitter LED should light, then blink as

the updated data is sent, and the Receiver display should indicate “PC

Found...”

4. Be sure all 4 batteries in the Receiver are fresh. Replace the batteries

when the low battery indicator appears.

5. If the toolbar icon for the Weather FXi program disappears (in the

lower right of your PC screen), the application was terminated and
