Placement for Maximum Accuracy  
AcuRite sensors are sensitive to surrounding environmental conditions. Proper  
placement of both the display unit and outdoor sensor are critical to the  
accuracy and performance of this product.  
Display Unit 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.  
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  
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 unit 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.).

The sensor will now synchronize with the display unit. 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.

OPERATION  
Using the Weather Forecaster  
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.

Troubleshooting  
If the wireless signal indicator shows no bars:  
• Relocate the display unit 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).  
No outdoor sensor  
reception  
no bars  
• 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 up to 20 minutes for display unit and sensor  
to synchronize after batteries are replaced.  
• Check that the batteries are installed correctly.  
Batteries may need to be replaced.  
• Reset the unit by pressing the reset button located on  
the back of the display. Time and date will need to be  
entered after a reset.

Flashing of the outdoor temperature is generally an  
indication of wireless interference.

temperature  
is flashing or  
showing dashes  
2. Make sure the A-B-C switch on both units match.  
3. Reinstall the battery in the outdoor sensor.  
4. Reinstall the battery in the display unit.  
5. Let the units sit within a couple feet of each other  
for about 20 minutes to gain a strong connection.  
• Weather Forecast icon predicts conditions for the next  
12 to 24 hours, not current conditions.  
• Has Learning Mode icon disappeared from the  
display unit? 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 unit will restart  
Learning Mode. After 14 days, forecast should be  
fairly accurate, however Learning Mode calibrates for  
a total of 33 days.  
Inaccurate forecast  
• Make sure both the display unit and sensor are  
placed out of direct sunlight and away from any heat  
sources or vents (see page 7).
