Placement for Maximum Accuracy
AcuRite sensors are sensitive to surrounding environmental conditions. Proper
placement of both the display and the sensor are critical to the accuracy and
performance of this unit.
Display Placement
Place the display in a dry area free of dirt and dust. Display
stands upright for tabletop use and is wall-mountable.
Important Placement Guidelines
• To ensure accurate temperature measurement, place units out of direct sunlight
and away from any heat sources or vents.
• Display and sensor(s) must be within 330 feet (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 units at least 3 feet (.9 m) away from
electronic devices (TV, computer, microwave, radio, etc.).
OPERATION
Using the Professional Weather Center
Learning Mode
Self-Calibrating Forecasting use 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.
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 the sensor in your backyard. It
generates a forecast with pinpoint accuracy - personalized for your exact location.

preference. The “ ” icon will remain illuminated next to calibrated values.
The preference set order is as follows:
OUTDOOR TEMPERATURE
OUTDOOR HUMIDITY
INDOOR TEMPERATURE
INDOOR HUMIDITY
BAROMETRIC PRESSURE (must be set to MANUAL mode to calibrate)*
*To change from AUTO to MANUAL pressure mode and vice versa, press
AND HOLD the “ ” button for 10 seconds. “auto” will disappear above the
barometric pressure to indicate that manual mode has been activated. Press and
