Intelli-Time®Clock

Intelli-Time products are pre-programmed with the correct time and date.

Intelli-Time technology instructs the time and date to set themselves. All you

need to do is select your Time Zone and Daylight Saving Time preferences. The

clock will then automatically set itself and change for Daylight Saving Time.

Set the Time, Date and Units

Press and release the SET button to enter SETUP MODE. Once in setup mode,

the preference you are currently setting will blink on the display.

To adjust the currently selected (ashing) item, press and release the “

▲

” or

“

▼

” buttons (press and HOLD to fast adjust).

To save your adjustments, press and release the SET button again to adjust the

next preference. The preference set order is as follows:

LANGUAGE (English or French)

COUNTRY (USA, CANADA, AUSTRALIA)

DST* (Daylight Saving Time ON or OFF)

TIME ZONE (AST, EST, CST, MST, PST, AKST, HAST, NST, AEST, ACST, AWST)

CALENDAR MONTH

CALENDAR DATE

CALENDAR YEAR

TEMPERATURE SCALE (ºF or ºC)

BAROMETRIC PRESSURE SCALE (inHg or hPa)

*If you live in an area that observes daylight saving time, DST should be set to

ON, even if it is not currently Daylight Savings Time.

You will automatically exit SETUP MODE if no buttons are pressed for 20

seconds. Enter setup mode at any time by pressing the SET button.

Display Backlight Settings

This weather station’s colour display features three different lighting settings:

High (100%) brightness, Medium (60%) brightness and Low (30%) brightness.

Using battery power alone, the backlight is available momentarily for 10

seconds by pressing the “BACKLIGHT” button.

When display is powered with the power adapter, backlight remains on at

100% brightness. Press “BACKLIGHT” button once to dim to 60% brightness;

press again to dim to 30%, press a 3rd time to enter “AUTO DIM” mode.

AUTO DIM MODE: Automatically adjusts display brightness based on time of day.

6:00 a.m. - 9:00 p.m. = 100% brightness

9:01 p.m. - 5:59 a.m.= 30% brightness

Placement for Maximum Accuracy

AcuRite sensors are sensitive to surrounding environmental conditions. Proper

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

accuracy and performance of this product.

Display Unit Placement

Place the display unit in a dry area free of dirt and dust.

Display unit stands upright for tabletop use or is wall-mountable.

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 1 to 2

metres (4 to 8 feet) above the ground with permanent shade

and plenty of fresh air to circulate around the sensor.

Important Placement Guidelines

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

sunlight and away from any heat sources or vents.

•Display unit and outdoor sensor must be within 100 m (330 ft) 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 90 cm (3 ft) away

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

Setup is Complete

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

minutes for synchronization to complete. Please refer to the troubleshooting

section of this manual if anything appears to be functioning improperly.

OPERATION

Using the Weather Station

Learning Mode

Self-Calibrating Forecasting uses 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.

Barometric Pressure

Subtle variations in barometric pressure greatly affect the weather. This

weather station displays the current pressure with an arrow icon to indicate

the direction the pressure is trending (FALLING, STEADY, or RISING).

High & Low Records

Today’s high and low records are displayed for indoor and outdoor temperature

and humidity. Today’s records automatically clear at 12:00am midnight every

day. View today’s high or low records by pressing and releasing the “▲” or

“▼” buttons. Press and release again to view current readings.

To manually clear all of today’s LOW recorded values, press and release the

“▼” button to view low records, then press and hold the “▼” button for 2

seconds. Dashes display to conrm you have cleared the LOW records.

To manually clear all of today’s HIGH recorded values, press and release the

“▲” button to view high records, then press and hold the “▲” button for 2

seconds. Dashes display to conrm you have cleared the HIGH records.

Troubleshooting

Problem Possible Solution

No outdoor sensor

reception

no bars

If the wireless signal indicator shows no bars:

• Relocate the display unit and/or the outdoor sensor.

The units must be within 100 m (330 ft) of each other.

• Make sure both units are placed at least 90 cm (3 feet)

away from electronics that may interfere with the

wireless communication (such as TVs, microwaves,

computers, etc).

• Use standard alkaline batteries (or lithium batteries in

sensor when temperature is below -20ºC/-4ºF). Do not

use heavy duty or rechargeable batteries. NOTE: It

may take up to 20 minutes for display unit and sensor to

synchronize after batteries are replaced.

Outdoor

temperature

is ashing or

showing dashes

Flashing of the outdoor temperature is generally an

indication of wireless interference.

1. Bring both the sensor and display unit indoors and

remove batteries from each.

2. Make sure the A-B-C switch on both units match.

3. Reinstall batteries in the outdoor sensor.

4. Reinstall batteries in the display unit.

5. Let the units sit within a couple feet of each other

for about 20 minutes to gain a strong connection.

Sometimes changing to a different channel can help.

Inaccurate forecast

• Weather Forecast icon predicts conditions for the next 12

to 24 hours, not current conditions.

• Has Learning Mode icon disappeared from the display

unit? Learning Mode must complete before forecast and

pressure will be accurate.

• Allow unit to run continuously for 33 days. Battery

removal or resetting the display unit will restart Learning

Mode. After 14 days, forecast should be fairly accurate,

however Learning Mode calibrates for a total of 33

days.

Inaccurate

temperature

or humidity

• Make sure both the display unit and sensor are placed

out of direct sunlight and away from any heat sources or

vents (see page 8).

• Make sure both units are positioned away from moisture

sources (see page 8).
