OPERATION

Placement for Maximum Accuracy

AcuRite sensors are sensitive to surrounding environmental conditions. Proper
placement of both the display unit and temperature probe are critical to the
accuracy and performance of this product.

Display Unit & Probe Placement

Place the display unit in a dry area free of dirt and dust. Display unit stands

upright for tabletop use or is wall-mountable.
To observe outdoor temperatures, the wired temperature probe must be placed

outside. The probe sensor can be securely mounted to a surface utilizing the
adhesive pad or the integrated hang hole. Take care not to damage the sensor
during mounting.

Important Placement Guidelines

• To ensure accurate temperature measurement, place units out of direct
sunlight and away from heat sources or vents.

• The wired temperature probe is not waterproof and is not intended for
permanent submersion in liquids. Submersion in liquid for more than 30
seconds may result in complete failure of the probe.

High & Low Records

High and low values are recorded for display (indoor) and probe (outdoor)

temperature. High and low records reect the minimum and maximum

temperature recorded since the unit was powered on, since the battery was
changed, or since it was manually reset (whichever was most recent).
