Deploying the weather station
Attach the WatchDog Weather Station to the pole
(See the instructions in the WatchDog Weather
Station manual provided with your station). Remove
the far-right gland (cap and strain relief) from the
bottom of the station. Feed the end of the gray cable
with the RJ12 (telephone) connector (it is hanging
from the modem box) through the opening in the
bottom of the station. This cable has its own gland.
Loosen the cap so it can rotate freely around the wire,
and screw the strain relief into the bottom of the
station. Plug the RJ12 connector into the weather
station’s AUX jack, and tighten the cap onto the strain
relief.

You may need to rotate the modem enclosure so it points toward
your nearest cell tower. The antenna may have difficulty
connecting to the tower if the signal must pass through the
battery, modem, and circuit board.
The antenna can be carefully removed from the inside of the door
and mounted at the top of a pole to improved the connection to
the cell tower. Do not attach the antenna directly to a metal pole.
Instead, attach a length of PVC pipe to the top of the metal pole,
and attach the antenna to the PVC.
