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. The display unit
stands upright for tabletop use or is wall-mountable.
Outdoor Sensor Placement
Sensors must be placed outside to observe outdoor conditions. The 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 heat sources or vents.
- The display unit and outdoor sensor must be within 165 ft (50 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.)
Setup is Complete
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.

165 ft (50 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).
•Use standard alkaline batteries (or lithium batteries in the sensor when the
temperature is below -4°F/-20°C). Do not use heavy-duty or rechargeable
batteries. NOTE: It may take up to 20 minutes for the display unit and sensor
to synchronize after batteries are replaced.

Outdoor temperature is flashing or
showing limbos| Flashing of the outdoor temperature is generally an
indication of wireless interference.
1. Bring both the sensor and display unit indoors and remove at least one
battery from each.
2. Reinstall the battery in the outdoor sensor.
3. Reinstall the battery in the display unit.
4. Let the units sit within a couple of feet of each other for about 20
minutes to gain a strong connection.
