   2. Insert 3 x AA alkaline batteries into the battery compartment, as shown. Follow the polarity (+/-) diagram in the battery compartment.
   3. Replace the battery cover.

PLEASE DISPOSE OF OLD OR DEFECTIVE BATTERIES IN AN ENVIRONMENTALLY SAFE
WAY AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH YOUR LOCAL LAWS AND REGULATIONS.

BATTERY SAFETY : Clean the battery contacts and also those of the device prior to battery installation. Remove batteries from equipment which is not to be used for an extended period of time. Follow the polarity (+/-) diagram in the battery compartment. Promptly remove dead batteries from the device. Dispose of used batteries properly. Only batteries of the same or equivalent type as recommended are to be used. DO NOT incinerate used batteries. DO NOT dispose of batteries in fire, as batteries may explode or leak. DO NOT mix old and new batteries or types of batteries (alkaline/standard). DO NOT use rechargeable batteries. DO NOT recharge non-rechargeable batteries. DO NOT short-circuit the supply terminals.

Atomic Clock
AcuRite atomic clocks use a radio-controlled signal to synchronize to the correct time broadcast by the National Institute of Standards and Technology
(NIST) Radio Station WWVB, located near Fort Collins, Colorado. WWVB broadcasts the current time and date with split-second accuracy.
The atomic clock and calendar will maintain the correct time and date and automatically update for daylight saving time to provide the most accurate
timekeeping standard possible. Please note: Signal reception is normally better at night and when the weather is clear. The atomic signal generally takes a few hours to synchronize, so it is important to manually set the time and date after powering on the display.

Set the Time & Date
Press and hold the “SET” button, located on the back of the display unit, for 3 seconds to enter SET MODE. Once in set mode, the preference you are currently setting will blink on the display.

To adjust the currently selected (flashing) item, press and release the “UP” or
“DOWN“ buttons (press and HOLD to fast adjust).

To save your adjustments, press and release the “SET” button again to adjust the next preference. The preference set order is as follows:

TIME ZONE ( EST AST HAT AKT PST MST CST )
DST (Daylight Saving Time ON or OFF)
CLOCK HOUR
CLOCK MINUTE
CALENDAR YEAR
CALENDAR MONTH
CALENDAR DATE
If you live in an area that observes DST, DST should be set to ON, even if it is not currently Daylight Saving Time.

You will automatically exit SET MODE if no buttons are pressed for 30 seconds. Enter setup mode at any time by pressing and holding the “SET” button.

Select Measurement Units
To select between U.S. standard units or metric units, press the “SCALE” button, located on the back of the display unit.

Measurement| U.S. Standard Units|

Metric Units

---|---|---
Temperature| Degrees Fahrenheit (ºF)| Degrees Celsius (ºC)
Barometric Pressure| inHg (inches of mercury)| hPa (Hectopascal)
Wind Speed| Miles per hour (mph)| Kilometers per hour (kph)

Placement for Maximum Accuracy
AcuRite sensors are sensitive to surrounding environmental conditions. Proper placement of both the display unit and the 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. To ensure accurate temperature measurement, place out of direct sunlight and away from heat sources or vents. Display unit stands upright for tabletop use or is wall- mountable.

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 Weather Center
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.View the complete list of icons at www.AcuRite.com /acurite-icons

Multi-Variable History Chart

Wind Speed
The Wind Speed area of the display features WIND SPEED PEAK, AVERAGE, and CURRENT WIND SPEED. The multi-variable history chart lets you monitor the change in AVERAGE hourly wind speed.
Barometric Pressure
Subtle variations in barometric pressure greatly impact the weather. This weather center displays the current pressure with an arrow icon to indicate the
direction the pressure is trending (FALLING, STEADY, or RISING). The multivariable history chart lets you monitor the change in pressure over time.
High & Low Records
The “MIN/MAX” button displays the minimum and maximum recordings for outdoor and indoor temperature and humidity. To view the MINIMUM
temperature and humidity readings, press and release the “MIN/MAX” button until the “MIN” icon appears on the display next to the low records. To view the MAXIMUM temperature and humidity readings, press and release the “MIN/MAX” button until the “MAX” icon appears on the display next to the high records.
To manually reset the high/low records currently being viewed, press and hold the “UP” and “SCALE” buttons simultaneously for 3 seconds. Dashes display to confirm you have cleared the records.
