| wifi_note | The built-in WiFi in the Venus GX has a very low signal strength - unfortunately. It is strong enough to connect to a phone, tablet or laptop in order to access setup and monitoring. But to connect the Venus GX to the internet either use the built-in Ethernet port or add a USB-WiFi dongle. |

| footnote 13 | The 5V output on the Venus GX can be used to power, for example, a USB hub. Note that its output is not current limited or otherwise protected, and it shares the internal power supply in the Venus GX: overdrawing from it will result in shutdown(s) of the Venus GX. It is recommended to install a fuse for prevention. |
| footnote 22 | The digital inputs on the Ekrano GX, Cerbo GX MK2 and Venus GX can also be used for pulse counting. |
| footnote 3 | Make sure the Venus GX is running v2.06 or later - early shipments of Venus GX units ran v2.05. |
