Placement for Maximum Accuracy
AcuRite products are sensitive to surrounding environmental conditions. The proper placement is critical for accuracy and performance.
Display Placement
Place the display in a dry area free of dirt and dust. The display stands upright for tabletop use and is wall-mountable.

Important Placement Guidelines

• To ensure accurate temperature measurement, place product out of direct sunlight and away from any heat sources or vents.
• Display and add-on Monitors/Sensors must be within 330 feet (100 m) of each other.
• To maximize wireless range, place products away from large metallic items, thick walls, metal surfaces, or other objects that may limit wireless communication.
• To prevent wireless interference, place the product at least 3 feet (.9 m) away from electronic devices (TV, computer, microwave, radio, etc.).

Expand the System

The display features built-in sensors for measuring temperature and humidity at its location. The display can be expanded to track additional conditions by using compatible Monitors and Sensors (optional; sold separately). Add up to 3 Monitors and Sensors to observe conditions in additional locations within 330 ft (100 m).
Compatible Monitors and Sensors are available at: www.AcuRite.com

Weather Overview Dashboard
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 a sensor in your backyard. It generates a forecast with pinpoint accuracy personalized for your exact location.
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 self-calibrated pressure is tuned in to your location and the unit is ready for superior weather prediction.
Note : To forecast precipitation accurately a weather-resistant Monitor or Sensor (sold separately) must be placed outdoors and its location name must be set to OUTDOOR.
Moon Phase
The moon phase is displayed between 7:00 p.m. to 5:59 a.m. when conditions allow for moon visibility. The phases of the moon are conveyed through simple lunar phase icons:

How-to-Dress Character
The How-to-Dress Character includes 22 different weather recommendations based on the weather forecast. If the How-to-Dress Character is the option selected during setup, the character icon will be shown in place of indoor readings on the dashboard.
