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 & Units
Press and release the “SE T” 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 “S ET” button again to adjust
the next preference. The preference set order is as follows:
AUTO CHANGE FOR DST? (YES or NO)*
TIME ZONE (PST MST CST EST AST HAT AKT)
CLOCK HOUR
CLOCK MINUTE
CALENDAR MONTH
CALENDAR DATE
CALENDAR YEAR
TEMPERATURE UNITS (ºF or ºC)
BAROMETRIC PRESSURE UNITS (inHg or hPa)
*If you live in an area that observes Daylight Saving Time, DST should be set
to YES, even if it is not currently Daylight Saving Time.
You will automatically exit SETUP MODE if no buttons are pressed for 10
seconds. Enter setup mode at any time by pressing the “SET” button.
Display Backlight Settings
This weather station’s color 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 the display is powered with the power adapter, the backlight remains on
at 100% brightness. Press the 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 & year.

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, however, to extend its life place the sensor in an area
l
1111
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 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.).

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.

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 conrm 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

Troubleshooting
Problem Possible Solution
No outdoor sensor

no bars
Tull
Outdoor
temperature
is ashing or
showing dashes
If the wireless signal indicator shows no bars:
• Relocate the display 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 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
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.
5. Let the units sit within a couple feet of each other for
a few minutes to gain a strong connection. Sometimes
changing to a different channel can help.
Inaccurate forecast
Inaccurate
temperature
or humidity
• Weather Forecast icon predicts conditions for the next
12 to 24 hours, not current conditions.
• Has Learning Mode icon disappeared from the display?
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 will restart Learning
Mode. After 14 days, forecast should be fairly accurate,
however Learning Mode calibrates for a total of 33
days.
• Make sure both the display 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).

Troubleshooting
Problem Possible Solution

not working
•
Check that the power adapter is plugged into the
display and an electrical outlet.
• Reset the display by pressing the RESET button, located
in the battery compartment. Date and time will need to
be entered after a reset.
The unit lost power
or batteries were
