Alarm Clock Placement
Place alarm clock in a dry area free of dirt and dust. To help ensure
an accurate indoor temperature measurement, be sure to place the
clock away from heat sources or vents.
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.
Placement for Maximum Accuracy
AcuRite sensors are sensitive to surrounding environmental conditions. Proper
placement of both the clock and outdoor sensor are critical to the accuracy
and performance of this product.
Important Placement Guidelines
• To ensure accurate temperature measurement, place units out of direct
sunlight and away from any heat sources or vents.
• Clock and outdoor sensor must be within 100m (330 ft) 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 .9m (3 ft) away
from electronic devices (TV, computer, microwave, radio, etc.).
Setup is Complete
The sensor will now synchronize with the alarm clock. It may take a few
minutes for synchronization to complete.

Troubleshooting
No outdoor sensor
reception
no bars
If the wireless signal indicator shows no bars:
• Relocate the clock and/or the outdoor sensor. The units
must be within 100 m (330 ft ) of each other.
• Make sure both units are placed at least .9 m
(3 feet) 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 (-20ºC/-4ºF). Do not
use heavy duty or rechargeable batteries.
NOTE: It may take up to 20 minutes for clock and sensor
to synchronize after batteries are replaced.
Clock is too dark, hard
to read or doesn’t
work
• Verify power adapter is plugged in.
• Check that the batteries are installed correctly. Batteries
may need to be replaced.
• Adjust brightness using the “”/ “” buttons, located
on the side of the clock.
• The optimum viewing angle for this product is from
slightly above it.
Inaccurate
temperature
• Make sure both the clock and sensor are placed out of
direct sunlight and away from any heat sources or vents
(see page 7).
Outdoor
temperature
is ashing or
showing dashes
Flashing of the outdoor temperature is generally an
indication of wireless interference.
1. Bring both the sensor and clock indoors, side by side
and remove batteries from each.
2. Make sure the A-B-C switch on both units match.
3. Reinstall batteries in outdoor sensor.
4. Reinstall batteries in clock.
5. Let the units sit within a couple feet of each other for a
few minutes to gain a strong connection.
