Important Placement Guidelines

Display unit and sensor must be within 330 feet (100 m) of each other.

MAXIMIZE WIRELESS RANGE

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

PREVENT WIRELESS INTERFERENCE

Place both units at least 3 feet (.9 m) away from electronic devices (TV,
computer, microwave, radio, etc.).

OPERATION

Using the Professional Weather Center

Learning Mode

Self-Calibrating Forecasting use 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.

Weather Select

The Weather Select area on the display includes the following weather data
and calculations: heat index, dew point, wind chill, indoor temperature and
humidity, and rainfall rate (in./hour). To toggle between Weather Select
categories, press the “ “ button, located left of the Weather Select display
area.

Barometric Pressure

Subtle variations in barometric pressure greatly affect the weather. This weath-

er forecaster displays the current pressure, direction it’s trending (FALLING,

STEADY, or RISING) and a pressure chart. The chart tracks and displays the
change in pressure so you can monitor the rate of change over time.

Rainfall Event

The rainfall feature tracks rain accumulation over all-time, the current month,
and current rainfall event. Current event clears when no rain registers for 8
hours OR no rain registers for 1 hour and pressure rises by .03 inhg or more.

Programmable Weather Alarms

Each Selectable Weather Category features an alarm option. When an

alarm sounds, the display unit emits an audible beep and ashes the affected

category, its alarm settings, and any other relevant data.

Some alarms can be customized to alert you when your programmed value is
reached. Alarms include:

OUTDOOR HUMIDITY

OUTDOOR TEMP

STORM ALARM

INDOOR HUMIDITY

INDOOR TEMP

WIND CHILL

DEW POINT

HEAT INDEX

RAIN

WIND SPEED

The rain alarm does not require a preset numerical value, but instead sounds as
soon as rain is recorded. Similarly, the storm alarm sounds when a large atmo­spheric pressure drop occurs, which usually indicates an oncoming storm. Note:
The storm alarm is NOT intended to be a safety device or warning system.
