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

choices for both the sensor and

the display unit in order for the

units to synchronize.

Install or Replace Batteries

AcuRite recommends high quality

alkaline or lithium batteries for

the best product performance.

Heavy duty or rechargeable

batteries are not recommended.

The sensor requires lithium

batteries in low temperature

conditions. Cold temperatures

can cause alkaline batteries

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 .

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.

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 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. Please refer to the troubleshooting

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

Using the Weather Forecaster

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.

Troubleshooting

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 330 ft (100 m) of each other.

•

Make sure both units are placed at least 3 feet (.9 m)

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 -4ºF/-20ºC). 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.

Display screen

not working

• Check that the batteries are installed correctly.

Batteries may need to be replaced.

• Reset the unit by pressing the reset button located on

the back of the display. Time and date will need to be

entered after a reset.

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 at least one battery from each.

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

3. Reinstall the battery in the outdoor sensor.

4. Reinstall the battery 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.

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

• Make sure both the display unit and sensor are

placed out of direct sunlight and away from any heat

sources or vents (see page 7).
