Display Placement

Place display in a dry area free of dirt and dust. To help ensure an

accurate indoor temperature measurement, be sure to place the

display away from heat sources or vents.

Outdoor Sensor Placement

Sensor must be placed outside to observe outdoor conditions.

Sensor is water resistant and is designed for general outdoor use,

however, to extend its life place the sensor in an area protected

from direct weather elements.

Hang the sensor using the integrated hang holes or hanger, or by

using string (not included) to hang it from a suitable location, like a

well covered tree branch. The best location is 4 to 8 feet above the

ground with permanent shade and plenty of fresh air to circulate

around the sensor.

Placement for Maximum Accuracy

AcuRite sensors are sensitive to surrounding environmental conditions. Proper

placement of both the display and outdoor sensor are critical to the accuracy

and performance of this product.

Important Placement Guidelines

• To ensure accurate temperature measurement, place units out of direct

sunlight and away from any heat sources or vents.

• Display and outdoor sensor must be within 330 ft (100 m) of each other.

• To maximize wireless range, place units away from large metallic items, thick

walls, metal surfaces, or other objects that may limit wireless communication.

• To prevent wireless interference, place both units at least 3 ft (.9 m) away

from electronic devices (TV, computer, microwave, radio, etc.).

Setup is Complete

The sensor will now synchronize with the display. It may take a few minutes for

synchronization to complete.

Using the Weather Forecaster

Learning Mode

Self-Calibrating Forecasting use a unique algorithm to analyze changes in

pressure over a time period (called Learning Mode) to determine your altitude.

After 14 days, the Learning Mode icon disappears from the display screen. At

this point, the self-calibrated pressure is tuned in to your location and the unit is

ready for superior weather prediction.

Weather Forecast

AcuRite’s patented Self-Calibrating Forecasting provides your personal forecast

of weather conditions for the next 12 to 24 hours by collecting data from

the sensor in your backyard. It generates a forecast with pinpoint accuracy -

personalized for your exact location.
