to the inner walls of the shelter. The two cellular antennas should be placed at

Replace the Old Device ID with the New
Your current data on WeatherLink.com is associated with your device through the
Device ID or DID. For uninterrupted data, you must tell the system to replace or
merge the old board’s DID with the new board’s DID. The new DID is on the label
on the new board’s cover.
