SETUP

Install or Replace Batteries

AcuRite recommends high quality alkaline batteries for the best product performance. Heavy duty or rechargeable batteries are not recommended. The outdoor sensor requires lithium batteries in low temperature conditions. Cold temperatures can cause alkaline batteries to function improperly. Use lithium batteries in the outdoor sensor for temperatures below -4ºF / -20ºC.

Outdoor Sensor

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

Display

1. Slide the stand off of the bottom of the display, as shown.
2. Slide off the battery compartment cover.
3. Insert 3 x AA batteries into the battery compartment, as shown. Follow the polarity (+/-) diagram in the battery compartment.
4. Replace the battery cover.
5. Replace the stand.

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. Ensure the batteries are installed correctly according to polarity (+ and -). Follow the diagram in the battery compartment. Remove and immediately recycle or dispose of batteries from equipment not used for an extended period of time according to local regulations. Remove and immediately recycle or dispose of used/dead batteries according to local regulations and keep away from children. Even used batteries may cause severe injury or death. Call a local poison control center for treatment information. DO NOT force discharge, recharge, disassemble, heat above 131° F (55° C) or incinerate. Doing so may result in injury due to venting, leakage or explosion resulting in chemical burns. Only batteries of the same or equivalent type as recommended are to be used. DO NOT mix old and new batteries, different brands or types of batteries, such as alkaline, carbon-zinc, or rechargeable batteries. DO NOT use rechargeable batteries. Non-rechargeable batteries are not to be recharged. DO NOT short-circuit the supply terminals. Always completely secure the battery compartment. If the battery compartment does not close securely, stop using the product, remove the batteries, and keep them away from children. DO NOT dispose of batteries in household trash or incinerate.

Intelli-Time® Clock

Intelli-Time products are pre-programmed with the correct time and date. Intelli-Time technology instructs the time and date to set themselves. All you need to do is select your time zone and daylight saving time preferences. The clock will then automatically set itself and change for daylight saving time.

• TIME ZONE (PST MST CST EST AST HAT AKT)
• DST* (Daylight Saving Time ON or OFF)
• CLOCK HOUR
• CLOCK MINUTE
• CALENDAR MONTH
• CALENDAR DATE
• CALENDAR YEAR
• UNITS: TEMPERATURE (ºF or ºC)
• UNITS: PRESSURE (inHg or hPa)

You will automatically exit SET MODE if no buttons are pressed for 20 seconds. Enter SET MODE at any time by pressing and holding the “SET” button.

*DST is set to ON by default. If you live in an area that observes daylight saving time, DST should remain ON.

Placement for Maximum Accuracy

AcuRite sensors are sensitive to surrounding environmental conditions. Proper placement of both the display and outdoor sensor are 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.

Outdoor Sensor Placement

Sensor must be placed outside to observe outdoor conditions. 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 any heat sources or vents.
• Display 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. 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.

OPERATION

Using the Sportsmanʼs Weather Station

Hunting & Fishing Activity Meter

Donʼt miss out on favorable weather and wildlife conditions! AcuRiteʼs Hunting & Fishing Activity Meter predicts wildlife activity levels by combining weather observations with lunar positioning data.

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

AcuRiteʼs 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.

Moon Phase

Track the phases of the moon, conveyed through simple lunar phase icons :

High & Low Records

“TODAY” temperature records automatically clear daily at midnight. “MONTH” temperature records automatically clear at midnight on the last day of the month. To manually clear the HIGH/LOW recorded values, press and HOLD the or button. Dashes display to confirm you have cleared the records.

Troubleshooting

No outdoor sensor reception

 no bars

| If the wireless signal indicator shows no bars:

• 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 sensor when temperature is below -4ºF/-20ºC). Do not use heavy duty or rechargeable batteries. NOTE: It may take up to 20 minutes for display and sensor to synchronize after batteries are replaced.

Display screen not working

| • Check that the batteries are installed correctly. Batteries may need to be replaced.

• Reset the display by pressing the reset button, located on the back of the display.

Outdoor temperature is flashing or

showing dashes

| Flashing of the outdoor temperature is generally an indication of wireless interference.

1.  Bring both the sensor and display indoors and remove batteries from each.

2.   Reinstall batteries in the outdoor sensor.

3.   Reinstall batteries in the display.

4.   Let the units sit within a couple feet of each other for about 20 minutes to gain a strong connection.

Inaccurate forecast

| • Weather Forecast icon predicts conditions for the next 12 to 24 hours, not current conditions.

• Has Learning Mode icon disappeared from the display unit? Learning Mode must complete before forecast and pressure will be accurate.

• Allow unit to run continuously for 33 days. Battery removal or resetting the display unit will restart Learning Mode. After 14 days, forecast should be fairly accurate, however Learning Mode calibrates for a total of 33 days.

Inaccurate temperature

| ****

• Make sure both the display unit and sensor are placed out of direct sunlight and away from any heat sources or vents (see page 6).
