SETUP
Installing Batteries – Display Console
About the Self Setting Intelli-Time® Clock
Your new weather station is equipped with Intelli-Time® technology which is
pre-programmed with the correct time and date. Intelli-Time® technology
instructs the clock to set itself once batteries are installed. All you need
to do is select your Time Zone and Daylight Saving Time preferences. The clock
will automatically set itself and change automatically for Daylight Saving
Time.
Quick Setup – Display Console
After installing batteries, the Intelli-Time® clock and calendar will
automatically set to the correct time, all you need to do is select your time
zone.
NOTE : IF FRENCH OR SPANISH LANGUAGE IS SELECTED (SEE MANUAL SETUP TO CHANGE LANGUAGE), THE TIME ZONE SELECTION ON THE DISPLAY WILL BE G.M.T. -/+ HOURS
Next, you will need to select your general geographic region for the Micro- Forecast to function properly. The Micro-Forecast feature analyzes outdoor temperature, outdoor humidity, pressure changes, and geographic region information to give you the most accurate forecast a single station forecast can provide.
Manual Setup – Display Console
Press the SET ( ) button to enter into manual set mode. The currently
selected language will display(”ENGLISH is the default) To adjust the
currently selected (flashing) preference item, press and release the “ ” or “

CALENDAR YEAR
UNITS: temperature (ºf or ºc), wind (mph, kph, kn), rain (in. or mm), pressure
(in or hpa)
SENSOR TYPE: (large 5in1 or smaller 3in1 )
NOTE: This weather station came with a 5in1 sensor, this display console
was designed to work with either a 5in1 OR a 3in1 sensor- but not both at the
same time. It is recommended that the larger 5in1 sensor be selected for
proper operation.
Adjustable Stand – Display Console
To adjust the display for optimum viewing angle, loosen the locking knobs and
gently tilt the display to the desired angle. Re-tighten the knobs to set the
angle.
NOTE: do not set the display angle all the way forward or backward unless
you are wall-mounting the display. This will cause the display to tip forward
or backward.
USE
Basic Functions
The Professional Wireless Weather Center was designed to give you the most
useful information at a glance. The following is an overview of basic
functions for everyday use.
WEATHER PAGE DISPLAY:
The weather page display area will show you information about the currently
selected weather type. The weather scale will show you additional information,
like trend or wind direction. You may also access history records for the
currently selected weather page.
MANUALLY BROWSE WEATHER PAGES: You may manually browse through the
available weather pages at any time by pressing the “< ” or “> ” buttons
located on the front of the display console
WIRELESS SIGNAL RECEPTION ICON:
The display console features a “SENSOR” signal reception icon to the left of
the clock display area. If there are a low number of “bars” present, you may
experience no temperature display ( “–” ) or inaccuracy. Occasionally, due to
intermittent physical obstructions (such as vehicle traffic, etc.) or other
environmental interference, the signal may be lost. If the sensor batteries
are low the signal will be lost as well.
After a signal loss- the display console will automatically begin to search
for the wireless multi-sensor and attempt to re-acquire the wireless signal.
In the event that the signal is lost completely and cannot be re-acquired, the
antennae icon will flash with no bars. In the case that the sensor signal is
lost completely, you may need to
relocate the display console or the wireless multi-sensor.
Display Modes
The weather page display has three distinct viewing modes- Manual, Cycle or
Auto-Display. To change between these modes, press the display button “ **”
located on the front of the display console.
MANUAL : (default) In manual display mode, whichever weather page you
browse to will remain on the display.
CYCLE: In cycle display mode, the display will automatically cycle
through all available weather pages. Each page will be displayed for
approximately 5 seconds. Note that you may still manually browse through the
weather pages at any time by pressing the browse buttons, but the display will
begin to cycle again after 5 seconds of no activity.
AUTO-DISPLAY: In this mode, whichever weather pages have adverse
conditions being reported will display automatically. For example, with auto
display mode selected- if it begins to rain, the “RAINFALL” weather page will
automatically display. If multiple weather pages report adverse conditions
(example; RAINFALL/IN-TEMP), all of the affected weather pages will
automatically display in a cycle until the conditions return to “normal”.
After conditions normalize, the weather page that was previously selected will
display again.
BOOK MARK:**
The bookmark feature allows you to quickly view the weather the page that is
most important to you, no matter what display mode you are in.
You may “bookmark” your favorite weather page by pressing AND HOLDING the “ ”
button. This will bookmark the currently selected category and allow you to
quickly go to that category at any time.
To go to your bookmarked page, press AND RELEASE the “ ” button at any time.
Note that the weather page may change after 5 seconds if you are in CYCLE or
AUTO DISPLAY modes. If you would like to remain on your bookmarked weather
page, press the “ ” button to select the manual display mode (<> ).
Weather Scale
The display console features a weather scale, a graphic representation of the
rate of change for a particular weather page. For most weather pages, this
scale will simply show the rate of increase or decrease.
For example, when the pressure weather page is being viewed, the scale example
here is showing that the pressure is falling rapidly.
In
this example, the outdoor temperature weather page is being viewed, the scale
example here is showing that the temperature is staying relatively steady,
with only a slight rise in temperature. 
When the wind speed page is displayed, the weather scale converts automatically to show you a linear wind direction scale. In this case, the wind is coming out of the WEST at 12 m.p.h.
Precision Weather Forecast
Initial learning mode
The Forecast will not display predicted high or low temperatures or chance of
precipitation for the first few hours after powering on. During this initial
learning mode, the weather forecaster will observe minute changes to learn
your weather patterns and increase the accuracy of the initial forecast. Note
that the forecast will become more accurate as it obtains more information
about your microclimate.
Forecast Display
The forecast display area gives you the predicted weather forecast for the
next 4 hours, 4 to 8 hours, and 8 to 12 hour time periods. Each time period
will also display the predicted High and Low temperatures, as well as the
chance (%) for precipitation. The forecaster is always analyzing the available
data, and consistently updates the forecast icons and highs/lows/precipitation
chance as time goes on. This will help you to plan ahead for the next 12 hours
of weather at any given time.
The weather forecast icon will display one of 18 different weather conditions.
The Moon will show (as a simplified Moon Phase) instead of the sun when the
forecast time period occurs overnight.
Below is an example of just three of the 18 forecast icons.
Atmospheric Pressure
The display console features a “PRESSURE” weather page.
LEARN MORE >
Atmospheric Pressure is defined as the pressure at any location on the Earth,
caused by the weight of the column of air above it. At sea level, atmospheric
pressure has an average value of one atmosphere and gradually decreases as
altitude increases. Also called barometric pressure.
The weight of the air mass, or atmosphere, that envelopes Earth exerts
pressure on all points of the planet’s surface. Meteorologists use barometers
to measure this atmospheric pressure (also called barometric pressure). At sea
level, the atmospheric pressure is approximately 1 kilogram per square
centimeter (14.7 pounds per square inch), which will cause a column of mercury
in a mercury barometer to rise 760 millimeters (30.4 inches). Subtle
variations in atmospheric pressure greatly affect the weather. Low pressure
generally brings rain. In areas of low air pressure, the air is less dense and
relatively warm, which causes it to rise. The expanding and rising air
naturally cools, and the water vapor in the air condenses, forming clouds and
the drops that fall as rain. In high-pressure areas, conversely, the air is
dense and relatively cool, which causes it to sink. The water vapor in the
sinking air does not condense, leaving the skies sunny and clear.
Rainfall
The RAINFALL weather page will display the rainfall total from the current
rain event. A weather system may come into your area very slowly and may rain
over many hours or days without any breaks. The rainfall weather page
displayed event total accounts for this and will continue to display the total
until the rain event is over.
TO ACCESS TODAY, WEEK, MONTH, YEAR RAINFALL TOTALS: While viewing the
rainfall weather page, pressing the “ ” button repeatedly will display the
recorded RAINFALL TOTALS for TODAY, WEEK, MONTH, and YEAR. Note that the time
and date will change to display exactly when the record was observed.
To clear out an erroneous record, press and HOLD the “ ” button while you are
viewing the actual record you want to clear.
Wind Speed
CURRENT WIND SPEED:
The CURRENT wind speed will display the currently recorded wind speed and is
updated every 18 seconds.
WIND SPEED PEAK:
The WIND SPEED PEAK will display the highest wind speed recorded in the
previous 60 minutes.
TO ACCESS TODAY, WEEK, MONTH, YEAR HIGHEST WIND RECORDS:
While viewing the wind speed weather page, pressing the “ ” button repeatedly
will display the recorded highest WIND SPEED for TODAY, WEEK, MONTH, and YEAR.
Note that the time and date will change to display exactly when the record was
observed. To clear out an erroneous record, press and HOLD the “ ” button
while you are viewing the actual record you want to clear.
Weather History
The display console can display short and long-term records. To access history
records for the currently displayed weather page, press the “ ” or “ ” buttons
located on the back of the display console.
HIGH RECORDS : Pressing the “ ” button repeatedly will display the
recorded HIGHS for TODAY, WEEK, MONTH, and YEAR for the currently selected
weather page. Note that the time and date will change to display exactly when
the record was observed. To clear out an erroneous HIGH record, press and HOLD
the “ ” button while you are viewing the HIGH record you want to clear.
LOW RECORDS: Pressing the “ ” button repeatedly will display the recorded
LOWS for TODAY, WEEK, MONTH, and YEAR for the currently selected weather page.
Note that the time and date will change to display exactly when the record was
observed.
To clear out an erroneous LOW record, press and HOLD the “ ” button while you
are viewing the LOW record you want to clear.
NOTE: For some weather pages, LOW and/or HIGH may not be applicable. For
example, rainfall is an accumulative weather type, and would always have a low
of “0.0”. For that reason, the rainfall and wind weather pages do not have LOW
records display options.
MAINTENANCE
DISPLAY CONSOLE MAINTENANCE:
Clean with a soft damp cloth, do not use caustic cleaners or abrasives as
these will damage the finish on the display console. Keep away from dust and
dirt and moisture, dust ventilation ports regularly with a gentle puff of air,
this will keep the indoor temperature and humidity are accurate.
INTEGRATED WIRELESS SENSOR MAINTENANCE:
Clean the housing with a damp cloth, do not use abrasive cleaners or any
materials that will mar the polished surfaces of the rain collection funnel or
the solar panel- this will result in decreased performance and reliability.
Occasionally remove the rain collector screen cup and empty it. This will
filter out seeds and small sticks, etc. (the rain collector screen cup is
located within the rain funnel- remove from the top gently by squeezing and
pulling out).
Remove any foreign matter on the outside of the housing to allow for free
movement of wind vane and anemometer.
INSECTS: in most cases, insects will not pose a problem. However, in some
instances, insects may cause repeated obstructions to weather measurement by
nesting in or contaminating the integrated wireless sensor. In these cases, it
may help to spray the housing with a commercially available home insect
guard/repellent product (not included) to limit the problem. Please consult
the insect repellent manufacturers instructions and safety information before
using.
BATTERY SAFETY: Clean the battery contacts and also those of the device
prior to battery installation. Remove batteries from equipment that 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.

CALIBRATION & ADVANCED OPTIONS
If you find that the temperature and/or humidity is slightly off, this weather
device allows for calibration. The barometric pressure may be calibrated as
well. To calibrate the weather station, you must enter into the calibration
mode.
AVAILABLE CALIBRATION OPTIONS: Outdoor Temperature, Outdoor Humidity, Indoor
Temperature, Indoor Humidity, Pressure.
Calibration Mode
To calibrate an available weather value, you must first navigate to the
appropriate weather page. Press the “<” or “>” weather page buttons located on
the front of the display unit.
To access the calibration mode for the currently selected weather page, press
AND HOLD the “ ” and “ ” buttons (located on the back of the display unit)
together for at least 5 seconds. After 20 seconds of inactivity, the display
will save your adjustments and automatically exit calibration mode, and return
to normal operation.
Calibrating Temperature & Humidity
Calibrating the temperature or humidity values are all similar. Once you are
in calibration mode you may calibrate the value up or down by pressing the “ ”
or “ ” buttons. Note the arrow icons indicate if you are calibrating the value
above(+) or below(-) the uncalibrated raw temperature (0) coming in from the
sensor. Press the “ ” button to confirm your calibration changes and return to
normal operation.
Barometric Pressure Options
The Weather Station is preset from the factory with a “14-day” AcuRite
pressure learning mode” that analyzes the differences in pressure to determine
your altitude- which is critical for forecasting.
The display unit gives you the option to observe this “AcuRite Pressure” value
and use that for the pressure weather page AND forecasting, or alternatively,
you may use the unadjusted “Station Pressure” value. If you choose to use the
“Station Pressure”, you may calibrate the value to match a known good reading
in your area if you wish.
Calibrating the pressure affects the forecasting feature greatly, for this
reason, it is recommended that the pressure be left alone and remain
uncalibrated. However, some advanced users may wish to calibrate the pressure
reading or change the type of pressure that is displayed- so those options are
available.
Barometric Pressure Options Menu
To access the pressure options menu first navigate to the “PRESSURE” weather
page, press AND HOLD the “ ” and “ ” buttons (located on the back of the
display unit) together for at least 5 seconds.
You may now press the “<” and “>” buttons located on the front of the display
to choose between 3 pressure display options:
Acurite Pressure
Acurite Pressure is the default pressure mode. This is the most automatic mode
and requires no user input for accuracy. This pressure mode requires a 14-day
learning period of adjustments to determining your altitude- which is critical
for forecasting. As a result, for the first 14 days the pressure value being
displayed in the “PRESSURE” weather page and the forecast display may be
inaccurate.
CALIBRATION & ADVANCED OPTIONS
Station Pressure
Station pressure is the second pressure mode. When selected, station pressure
will use the unadjusted pressure value to display in the “PRESSURE” weather
page. It will also use the unadjusted pressure reading for the forecast
feature.
Station Pressure Calibration
Once you are in STATION PRESSURE CALIBRATION mode you may calibrate the value
up or down by pressing the “ ” or “ ” buttons. Note the arrow icons indicate
if you are calibrating the value above(+) or below(-) the uncalibrated raw
pressure. Press the “ ” button to confirm your calibration changes and return
to normal operation- which will then display your calibrated pressure, as well
as using the calibrated value for the forecast display.
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 that 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.
