Battery Choice & Temperature Range

Extended periods of cold temperatures I below -4°F / -20°C I can cause alkaline

batteries to function improperly. This will cause the outdoor wireless sensor to stop transmitting temperature readings. Use lithium batteries in these low temperature conditions to ensure continued operation for wireless sensors placed outdoors. NOTE: Rechargeable batteries are not recommended due to higher operating voltages.

About the Atomic Clock

A clock is considered atomic if it has an accuracy of one second in a million years. Consumer clocks are considered atomic if they attain this accuracy by

receiving a signal from an atomic clock. In North America, the National Institute of Standards and Technologies operates an atomic clock in Colorado which transmits the time codes via the radio station WWVB. The Acurite clock you have purchased includes a built-in receiver which picks up the signal from the WWVB station. For the best possible reception, place the main unit with the back side facing Colorado. NOTE: Due to solar radiation in the atmosphere, the atomic clock signal is weaker during the day. Most synchronization with the WWVB atomic clock signal happens at night when there is less interference.

Main Unit : Basic Setup

After installing batteries, it is recommended that you set the clock and calendar initially. After the atomic clock signal is acquired, which may take up to 24 hours, the clock accuracy and daylight saving time changes will be automatically maintained.

A. Wireless Sensor

Remove the 4 battery compartment screws and cover utilizing a small Phillips type screwdriver. Install 2 fresh "AA" batteries as shown here.

B. Main Unit

Remove the battery compartment cover and install 3 fresh "AA" batteries as shown here.

A/8/C Wireless Selection

To allow for more than one weather station and wireless sensor network to be used in close proximity, the main unit and the wireless sensor have a small switch labeled "A B C" within the battery compartments. This switch selects one of 3 wireless modes to use, and both switches MUST be set in matching positions (either A, B, or C) for wireless communication to take place successfully.

Toset the clock and other preferences, press the "SET" button to enter into SET MODE. Once in set mode, the preference you are currently setting will blink on the display.

To adjustthe currently selected (flashing) preference item, press the ........or .....,..

buttons (press and HOLD to fast adjust). To

saveyour adjustments, press the "SET" button again to move on to adjusting

the next preference. The preference set order is as follows:

TIME ZONE (PST MST CST EST) DST(Daylight Saving Time ON OR OFF) CLOCK HOUR CLOCK MINUTE CALENDAR DATE CALENDAR MONTH CALENDARYEAR TEMPERATURESCALE BAROMETRICPRESSURE SCALE (in Hg or hPa)

You will automatically exit SET MODE if no buttons are depressed for :30 seconds. You may enter basic setup mode again at any time by pressing the "SET" button.

(°For °C)

Basic Setup is Now Complete

The wireless sensor will soon send a signal to the main unit and the two units will be synchronized. It may take a few minutes for synchronization to be complete. If both or one of the units appear to be functioning improperly, refer to the troubleshooting section in this manual.
