SETUP

Set the A-B-C Switch

The A-B-C switch is located inside

the battery compartment. It can

be set to A, B or C. However,

you must select the same letter

to function improperly. Use

lithium batteries in the sensor for

temperatures below -4ºF / -20ºC.

1. Slide off the battery

compartment cover. Take

note of the A-B-C switch

setting inside the battery

compartment for part 2.

2. Insert 2 x AA batteries into

the battery compartment, as

shown. Follow the polarity

(+/-) diagram in the battery

compartment.

3. Replace the battery cover.

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.

ABCD

EFG

Display Unit Placement

Place display unit in a dry area

free of dirt and dust. Display stands

upright for tabletop use or is wall-

mountable. Viewing angle can be

adjusted by rst loosening the locking

knobs, then by tilting the display to your desired

angle. Tighten knobs to set the angle.

For wall mounting, hang using the two keyholes

located on bottom of the base.

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.

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 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 unit. It may take a few

minutes for synchronization to complete. NOTE: It will take up to 4 hours to

generate a weather forecast after initial setup.

Precision Weather Forecasting

AcuRite’s Precision Forecasting provides your personal forecast of morning,

noon & night (4 hour, 4 to 8 hour and 8 to 12 hour) weather conditions. The

patent-pending technology combines regional weather patterns with data

measured by a sensor in your yard. It generates a forecast with pinpoint

accuracy - personalized for your exact location.

Multi-Variable History Chart

The multi-variable history chart lets you monitor the change in conditions over

the last 12 hour time period (-12, -6, -3, -2, -1, 0). Toggle between barometric

pressure, outdoor temperature and outdoor humidity readings.

Barometric Pressure

Subtle variations in barometric pressure greatly impact the weather. This

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

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

variable history chart lets you monitor the change in pressure over time.

High & Low Records

The “

” and “

“ buttons, located on the back of the display unit, display

minimum and maximum recordings for outdoor and indoor temperature and

humidity. To view the MINIMUM temperature and humidity readings, press

and release the “

” button. The “ ” icon appears on the display next to

the low records. To view the MAXIMUM temperature and humidity readings,

press and release the “

” button. The “ ” icon appears on the display next

to the high records.

To reset the MINIMUM records, press and hold the “

” button while viewing

the minimum records. Dashes will display to conrm all minimum values have

been cleared.

To reset the MAXIMUM records, press and hold the “

” button while viewing

the maximum records. Dashes will display to conrm all maximum values have

been cleared.
