Placement for Maximum Accuracy
AcuRite products are sensitive to surrounding environmental conditions. Proper
placement of the Room Monitor is critical to the accuracy and performance of
the product.
Room Monitor Placement
The Monitor is designed for indoor use. Place the Monitor in
a dry area free of dirt and dust. Monitor stands upright for
tabletop use or is wall-mountable.
Important Placement Guidelines
• Monitor must be within 330 feet (100 meters) of a companion unit
(optional; sold separately).
MAXIMIZE WIRELESS RANGE
Place units away from large metallic items, thick walls, metal surfaces, or other
objects that may limit wireless communication.
PREVENT WIRELESS INTERFERENCE
Place both units at least 3 feet (90 cm) away from electronic devices (TV,
computer, microwave, radio, etc.).
LOCATE AWAY FROM HEAT SOURCES
To ensure accurate temperature measurement, place Monitor out of direct
sunlight and away from any heat sources.
LOCATE AWAY FROM HUMIDITY SOURCES
To ensure accurate humidity measurement, locate Monitor away from humidity
sources. Avoid installing the Monitor near indoor pools, spas, or other bodies
of water. Water sources may impact humidity accuracy.

OPERATION
Using the Room Monitor
The Room Monitor features built-in temperature and humidity sensors, to view
current conditions in the location where the Monitor is placed.
Expand the System
The Room Monitor can be expanded to track additional conditions using
compatible wired sensors (optional; sold separately) that simply plug into the
Monitor. Wired sensors feature an extra-long cord, perfect for installing the
sensors in hard-to-reach places.
When using a wired sensor with the Monitor, the Monitor’s temperature and
humidity readings move to the top of the display. The display will automatically
toggle between the Monitor’s temperature and humidity data, while the wired
sensor’s readings appear in the middle of the display (pictured below).
