Intelli-Time®Clock
Intelli-Time products are pre-programmed with the correct time and date.
Intelli-Time technology instructs the time and date to set themselves. All you
need to do is 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 & Units
Press and release the “SET” button, located on the back of the display, to enter
SET MODE. Once in SET MODE, the preference you are currently setting will
blink on the display.
To adjust the currently selected (ashing) item, press and release the “ “ or
“ “ buttons (press and HOLD to fast adjust).
To save your adjustments, press and release the “SET” button again to adjust
the next preference. The preference set order is as follows:

TIME ZONE (CST MST PST AKT HAT NST AST EST)
CLOCK HOUR
CLOCK MINUTE
CALENDAR MONTH
CALENDAR DATE
CALENDAR YEAR
TEMPERATURE UNITS (ºF or ºC)
*If you live in an area that observes DST, DST should be set to ON, even if it is
not currently Daylight Saving Time.
You will automatically exit SET MODE if no buttons are pressed for 8 seconds.
Enter SET MODE at any time by pressing the “SET” button.
Placement for Maximum Accuracy
AcuRite sensors are sensitive to surrounding environmental conditions. Proper
placement of both the display and outdoor sensor are critical to the accuracy
and performance of this product.
Display Placement
Place the display in a dry area free of dirt and dust. Display stands
upright for tabletop use or is wall-mountable
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 hole 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.
Important Placement Guidelines
• To ensure accurate temperature measurement, place units out of direct
sunlight and away from any 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 (.9 m) away
from electronic devices (TV, computer, microwave, radio, etc.).
(100 meters)
(330 feet maximum)
Setup is Complete
The sensor will now synchronize with the display. It may take a few minutes for
synchronization to complete. Please refer to the troubleshooting section of this
manual if anything appears to be functioning improperly.
Display Backlight Settings
This weather station’s color display features three different lighting settings:
High (100%) brightness, Medium (60%) brightness and Low (30%) brightness.
Using battery power alone, the backlight is available momentarily for 10
seconds by pressing the “BACKLIGHT” button.
When display is powered with the power adapter, backlight remains on at
100% brightness. Press “BACKLIGHT” button once to dim to 60% brightness;
press again to dim to 30%, press a 3rd time to enter “AUTO DIM” mode.
AUTO DIM MODE: Automatically adjusts display brightness based on time of day & year.

9:01 p.m. - 5:59 a.m.= 30% brightness
NOVEMBER 5 - MARCH 10 7:30 a.m. - 7:00 p.m.= 100% brightness
7:01 p.m. - 7:29 a.m. = 30% brightness
