OPERATION

Using the Home Environment Display 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.
Please 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 or GARDEN.

View the complete list of icons at www.AcuRite.com/acurite- icons

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.

Barometric Pressure
Subtle variations in barometric pressure greatly affect the weather. This weather station displays the current pressure with an arrow icon to indicate the direction the pressure is trending (FALLING, STEADY, or RISING).

High & Low Records
High and low values are recorded for the data the display is tracking. To view high and low record information for a location:

1. Press and release the color-coded button next to the location for which you wish to view records.
2. Press and release the “ ” button. “RECORDS” will be shown.

Troubleshooting

No reception

no bars

| If the wireless signal indicator shows no bars:

• Relocate the display and/or synced Monitor/Sensor (if applicable). The products must be within 330 ft (100 m) of each other

• Make sure products (display, Monitors, Sensors) 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 Monitors and Sensors 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 add-on Monitors / Sensors to synchronize after batteries are replaced.

Temperature is flashing or showing dashes

| Flashing of the temperature reported by a Monitor/ Sensor is generally an indication of wireless interference between the sensor and display.

1.   Remove the Monitor/Sensor location from the display (see page 9).

2.   Re-add Monitor/Sensor to an available location on display (see page 10).

Inaccurate forecast

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

• Verify at least one weather-resistant Monitor/Sensor is placed outdoors with the location name set to OUTDOOR or GARDEN. This is required for full weather forecast functionality.

• Verify the Learning Mode “      ” icon has disappeared from the display. Learning Mode must complete before forecast and pressure will be accurate.

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

Inaccurate temperature or humidity

| • Verify the product that is reporting an inaccurate temperature reading is placed out of direct sunlight and away from any heat sources or vents (see page 11).

• Verify the product that is reporting an inaccurate humidity reading is positioned away from moisture sources (see page 11).

into the display and an electrical outlet.
