SETUP
Install or Replace Batteries
AcuRite recommends high quality alkaline batteries for the best product
performance. Heavy duty or rechargeable batteries are not recommended.
The outdoor sensor requires lithium batteries in low temperature conditions.
Cold temperatures can cause alkaline batteries to function improperly. Use
lithium batteries in the outdoor sensor for temperatures below -4ºF / -20ºC.

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.
Display Placement
Place the display in a dry area free of dirt and dust. Display 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,
l
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 heat sources or vents.
• Display and outdoor sensor must be within 165 ft (50 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. Please refer to the troubleshooting section of this
manual if anything appears to be functioning improperly.

If the wireless signal indicator shows no bars:
• Relocate the display and/or the outdoor sensor. The
units must be within 165 ft (50 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 a few minutes for display and sensor to
synchronize after batteries are replaced.
Flashing of the outdoor temperature is generally an
indication of wireless interference.
1. Bring both the sensor and display indoors and
remove at least one battery from each.
2. Reinstall the battery in the outdoor sensor.
3. Reinstall the battery in the display.
4. Let the units sit within a couple feet of each other
for a few minutes to gain a strong connection.
