Setup
Sensor Setup

Example: Set to match display [A B C]
- Install or Replace Batteries: AcuRite recommends high-quality alkaline or lithium batteries for best product performance. Heavy-duty or rechargeable batteries are not recommended. The sensor requires lithium batteries in low-temperature conditions (below -4°F / -20°C) as cold temperatures can cause alkaline batteries to function improperly.
- Slide off the battery compartment cover. Note the A-B-C switch setting inside the compartment.
- Insert 2 x AA batteries into the battery compartment, following the polarity (+/-) diagram.
- Replace the battery cover.
Display Setup
- Set the A-B-C Switch: Locate the A-B-C switch inside the display's battery compartment. Set the A-B-C switch to A, B, or C. You must select the same letter choices for both the display and the sensor for the units to synchronize.
Example: Set to match sensor [A B C]
- Install or Replace Batteries: Insert 3 x AA alkaline batteries into the battery compartment, following the polarity (+/-) diagram.
- Remove the battery compartment cover.
- Insert 3 x AA alkaline batteries, following the polarity (+/-) diagram.

Battery Disposal & Safety: Please dispose of old or defective batteries in an environmentally safe way and in accordance with local laws and regulations. Clean battery contacts and device contacts before installation. Remove batteries from equipment not in use for extended periods. Follow polarity diagrams. Promptly remove dead batteries. Use only same or equivalent battery types. Do not incinerate, dispose of in fire, mix old/new or different battery types, use rechargeable batteries, recharge non-rechargeable batteries, or short-circuit terminals.
Intelli-Time® Clock
Intelli-Time products are pre-programmed with the correct time and date. Intelli-Time technology sets the time and date automatically. You only need to select your Time Zone and Daylight Saving Time preferences. The clock will then automatically set itself and change for Daylight Saving Time.
Set the Time & Date
Press the "SET" button (on the back of the display) to enter SET MODE. The item being set will flash. To adjust, press and release the ▲ or ▼ buttons (press and HOLD for fast adjust). To save and move to the next preference, press "SET" again. The order is: TIME ZONE, DST (ON/OFF), CLOCK HOUR, CLOCK MINUTE, CALENDAR MONTH, CALENDAR DATE, CALENDAR YEAR. SET MODE exits automatically after 30 seconds of inactivity.
*If you observe Daylight Saving Time, set DST to ON.
Select Temperature Units
In normal display mode (NOT SET MODE), press the ▼ button to select between Fahrenheit (°F) or Celsius (°C).
Select Barometric Pressure Units
In normal display mode (NOT SET MODE), press the ▲ button to select between inHg or hPa.
Placement for Maximum Accuracy
AcuRite sensors are sensitive to surrounding environmental conditions. Proper placement of both the display and outdoor sensor is critical for accuracy and performance.
Display Placement
Place the display in a dry area free of dirt and dust. It stands upright for tabletop use or is wall-mountable.
Outdoor Sensor Placement
Place the sensor outside to observe outdoor conditions. It is water-resistant for general outdoor use, but to extend its life, place it in an area protected from direct weather elements. Hang the sensor using its integrated hang holes or hanger, or use string 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 circulation.
Important Placement Guidelines
- To ensure accurate temperature measurement, place units out of direct sunlight and away from heat sources or vents.
- Display and outdoor sensor must be within 330 ft (100 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 (0.9 m) away from electronic devices (TV, computer, microwave, radio, etc.).
Diagram Description: A house with a TV inside, indicating the display and sensor should be at least 3 feet (0.9m) apart from electronics. The sensor is shown outdoors, with a tree nearby, and text indicating a maximum range of 330 feet (100 meters) between the display and sensor.
Setup is Complete: The sensor will synchronize with the display. This may take a few minutes. Refer to troubleshooting if issues arise.
Operation
Using the Weather Forecaster
Learning Mode

|---|---|
| No outdoor sensor reception [No signal bars] |
|
| Display screen not working |
|
| Outdoor temperature is flashing or showing dashes | This generally indicates wireless interference.
|
| Inaccurate forecast |
|
| Inaccurate temperature | Ensure both the display and sensor are placed out of direct sunlight and away from any heat sources or vents (see Placement section on page 8). |
Care & Maintenance
Display Care
Clean with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid caustic cleaners or abrasives. Keep away from dust, dirt, and moisture. Clean ventilation ports regularly with a gentle puff of air.
Outdoor Sensor Care
Clean with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use caustic cleaners or abrasives.
Replace Intelli-Time® Battery
Intelli-Time technology uses a pre-installed coin-cell battery to store time and date settings. This battery has a shelf life of several years. After replacing, you will need to re-enter the time and date.
To replace the Intelli-Time battery:
- Locate the coin cell battery compartment door on the back of the display, inside the battery compartment. Unscrew and remove the cover.
- Insert 1 x CR2032 coin cell battery, ensuring the "+" positive terminal faces OUT.
- Screw the cover back on.
Battery Warning: THIS PRODUCT CONTAINS A BUTTON-CELL BATTERY. IF SWALLOWED, IT COULD CAUSE SEVERE INJURY OR DEATH IN JUST 2 HOURS. SEEK MEDICAL ATTENTION IMMEDIATELY IF INGESTED. ⚠️ ☠️
