Placement for Maximum Accuracy

AcuRite products are sensitive to surrounding environmental conditions. Proper
placement of the Monitor is critical to the accuracy and performance of the
product.

Monitor Placement

The Monitor is designed for indoor or outdoor use. The Monitor
stands upright for tabletop use or is wall-mountable.

Place the Monitor outside to observe outdoor conditions. The

Monitor is water-resistant and designed for general outdoor use.
However, to extend its life, place the Monitor in an area protected from direct
weather elements.

Hang the Monitor using the integrated keyhole in a suitable location, like a
well-covered tree branch. The best location is 4 to 8 feet (1.2 - 2.4 meters)
above ground with permanent shade and plenty of fresh air to circulate around
the Monitor.

Important Placement Guidelines

• Monitor must be within 330 feet (100 meters) of companion unit (sold
separately).

MAXIMIZE WIRELESS RANGE

Place Monitor away from large metallic items, thick walls, metal surfaces, or
other objects that may limit wireless communication.

PREVENT WIRELESS INTERFERENCE

Place Monitor at least 3 feet (90 cm) away from electronic devices (TV,
computer, microwave, radio, etc.).

LOCATE AWAY FROM HEAT SOURCES

To ensure accurate temperature measurement, place Monitor out of direct
sunlight and away from any heat sources.

LOCATE AWAY FROM HUMIDITY SOURCES

To ensure accurate humidity measurement, locate Monitor away from humidity
sources. Avoid installing the Monitor near indoor pools, spas, or other bodies
of water. Water sources may impact humidity accuracy.

LOCATE AWAY FROM SPRINKLER HEADS

DO NOT install the Monitor where it will be sprayed by a sprinkler system. This
may force water inside the Monitor.

OPERATION

Using the Monitor

wired sensors (optional; sold separately) that simply plug into the Monitor.
Wired sensors feature an extra-long cord, perfect for installing the sensors in
hard-to-reach places.
