The Acurite® Thermometer with wireless outdoor sensor collects
outside weather data and sends it wirelessly to the Display Unit
via a low-power radio frequency. Thisthermometer has been
designed to be easy to install and use.
The sleek display unit houses a liquid crystal display (LCD)which
will calculate and display all the weather data received from the
wireless sensor outside. The display unit features a temperature
sensor for measuring indoor temperature. The Display Unit is
powered with two "AA" alkaline batteries (not included).
The wireless outdoor sensor is completely wireless and contains a
sensor for measuring outdoor temperature. The wireless outdoor
sensor is powered with two "AA" alkaline or lithium batteries (not
included).

SETUP
BatteryChoice& TemperatureRange
Extended periods of cold temperatures ( below -4°F / -20°C ) can cause
alkaline batteries to function improperly. This will cause the outdoor
wireless sensor to stop transmitting temperature readings. Use lithium
batteries in these low temperature conditions to ensure continued
operation for wireless sensors placed outdoors.

Aboutthe SelfSettingAtomicClock
A clock is considered atomic if it has an accuracy of one second in a
million years. Consumer clocks are considered atomic if they attain this
accuracy by receiving a signal from an atomic clock. In North
America, the National Institute of Standards and Technologies
operates an atomic clock in Colorado which transmits the time codes
via the radio station WWVB. The Acurite clock you have purchased
includes a built-in receiver which picks up the signal from the WWVB
station. For the best possible reception, place the display unit with the
back side facing Colorado. NOTE: Due to solar radiation in the
atmosphere, the atomic clock signal is weaker during the day. Most
synchronization with the WWVB atomic clock signal happens at night
when there is less interference.
DisplayUnit: BasicSetup

Placement
Now that setup is complete, you must choose a location to place the
wireless sensor and the dis(?lay unit. The wireless sensor MUST be
placed less than 165feet (50 meters) away from the display unit.
Thiswireless forecaster uses radio frequency for communication, which
is susceptible to interference from other electronic devices and large
metallic items or thick walls. Always place both units at least 3 feet (.91
m) away from a.e.pliances ( TV, microwave, radios, etc. ) or obiects that
may interfere w1tlithe wireless communication ( large metal surfaces,
thick stone walls, etc. ). --'o''....

sensor is water resistant and is designed tor general outdoor
use. However, to extend the life of tne product, place the
wireless sensor in an area protected from direct weather
elements. To ensure an accurate outdoor temperature
measurement, be sure the wireless sensor is placed out of
direct sunlight and away from any heat sources.
There are 2 placement options for the wireless sensor. You may
hang it using one of the two integrated hang holes, or use
string (not included) to hang it from a suitaole location like a
