Placement for Maximum Accuracy
AcuRite sensors are sensitive to surrounding environmental conditions. Proper placement of both the display and wireless sensor is critical to the accuracy and performance of this product.
Display Placement
Place the display in a dry area free of dirt and dust. Display stands
upright for tabletop use or is wall-mountable.
Sensor Placement
The sensor is water-resistant and is designed for indoor or outdoor. use,
however, to extend its life place the sensor in an area protected from direct
weather elements. The sensor may also be “‘ placed indoors to measure
environmental conditions.
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 and outdoor sensors 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. It may take a few minutes
for synchronization to complete.
OPERATION
Display Modes
AUTO CYCLE: By default, the unit is in AUTO-CYCLE mode. In AUTO-CYCLE
mode, the display will automatically cycle through current readings for INDOOR

the display until the icon appears on the screen. Press and release again to
exit AUTO-CYCLE mode.

•Relocate the display and/or the outdoor sensor. The units must be within 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 a few minutes for the display and sensor to
synchronize after batteries are replaced.
Inaccurate
temperature or
humidity| •Make sure both the display and sensor are placed out of direct
