SETUP
Install or Replace Batteries
AcuRite recommends high quality alkaline batteries for the best product
performance. Heavy duty or rechargeable batteries are not recommended.
The freezer sensor requires lithium batteries for low temperature conditions.
Cold temperatures can cause alkaline batteries to function improperly. Use
lithium batteries in the freezer sensor for temperatures below -4ºF / -20ºC.
Select Degrees Fahrenheit or Celsius
To select between degrees Fahrenheit (ºF) or Celsius (ºC) temperature units,
slide the “ºC/ºF” switch, located on the back of the thermometer display.
PLEASE DISPOSE OF OLD OR DEFECTIVE BATTERIES IN AN ENVIRONMENTALLY SAFE
WAY AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH YOUR LOCAL LAWS AND REGULATIONS.
BATTERY SAFETY: Clean the battery contacts and also those of the device prior to battery installation. Remove batteries from equipment which is not to
be used for an extended period of time. Follow the polarity (+/-) diagram in the battery compartment. Promptly remove dead batteries from the device. Dispose of
used batteries properly. Only batteries of the same or equivalent type as recommended are to be used. DO NOT incinerate used batteries. DO NOT dispose of batteries
in re, as batteries may explode or leak. DO NOT mix old and new batteries or types of batteries (alkaline/standard). DO NOT use rechargeable batteries. DO NOT
recharge non-rechargeable batteries. DO NOT short-circuit the supply terminals.

Display Unit Placement
Place display unit in a dry area free of dirt and dust. Display is magnet-
mountable. For wall mounting, hang using the keyhole located on the back of
the unit.
Sensor Placement
Sensor #1 should be placed in the
REFRIGERATOR. Sensor #2 should be
placed in the FREEZER.
Note: Both sensors will work in either
location, however the default alerts
are based on the placement mentioned
above.
Each sensor is equipped with a
spring-action clip with a rubber grip
to securely attached to the edge of a
glass or wire shelf (A).
Each sensor also includes a detachable
suction cup that can be used to attach
the sensor to the interior surface of the
refrigerator (B). Please note: suction
cups do not adhere well to freezing
surfaces.
Display unit and sensors must be
located within 330 ft (100 m) of
each other.

Using the Thermometer
High & Low Records
The thermometer records high and low temperature records for each sensor.
These readings reect the highest and lowest temperatures recorded since the
batteries were inserted or since the CLR button was last pressed.
To reset the High/Low records, press and release the “CLR” button once. This
clears the records from both sensors.
Programmable Alarms
Programmable alarms notify you audibly and visually when temperatures
exceed your preset minimum / maximum temperature range. An alert is
triggered when a temperature is out of range for longer than 15 minutes. This
prevents false alarms due to the fridge/freezer door being held open while
new items are being loaded/unloaded.
The default temperature alarm settings for Sensor #1 (refrigerator thermome-
ter) are minimum 33ºF / maximum 40ºF. The default temperature alarm settings
for Sensor #2 (freezer thermometer) are minimum -22ºF / maximum 0ºF.
To customize temperature alarms:
1. Press and HOLD the “ ” button until the Current Temperature disappears
and the maximum temperature alarm setting is shown in its place.
2. Press the “ + “ or “ – “ buttons to increase or decrease the maximum
temperature alarm setting.
3. Press the “ ” button to conrm the maximum temperature alarm setting.
The unit will beep and the minimum temperature alarm setting wil be shown.
4. Press the “ + “ or “ – “ buttons to increase or decrease the minimum
temperature alarm setting.
5. Press the “ ” button to conrm the minimum temperature alarm setting.
6. Press the “ ” button to turn ON/OFF the alarm. The “ “ icon on the
the display indicates that the alarm is ON.
For Alarm #2, repeat steps 1 through 5 using the “ ” button.
NOTE: When thermometer is in normal operating mode (not in alarm setup
mode), the High/Low readings display the highest/lowest temperature
recordings.

Troubleshooting
Temperature
is showing “E”
or dashes
• Relocate the display and/or the sensors.
• The units must be within 330 ft (100 m) of each other.
• Flashing of the temperature is generally an indication
of wireless interference. Perform a hard reset to gain
a strong connection between the units:
1. Bring all 3 units together, side-by-side.
2. Remove all batteries from all 3 units.
3. Reinstall batteries in thermometer display unit rst.
4. Reinstall batteries into sensor #1.
5. Reinstall batteries into sensor #2.
6. The display unit should read temperatures from
both sensors almost instantly.
Inaccurate
temperature
• Use standard alkaline batteries (or lithium batteries in
sensor when temperature is below -4ºF/-20ºC). Do not
use heavy duty or rechargeable batteries.
Display screen
not working
• Check that the batteries are installed correctly.
Batteries may need to be replaced.
• Reset display by pressing the RESET button, located
on the back of the display unit.
Current Temperature
reads “-H-” or “-L-”
• Verify you’re within the measurable temperature
range (-40ºF to 158ºF; -40ºC to 70ºC).
If your AcuRite product does not operate properly after trying
the troubleshooting steps, visit www.AcuRite.com or call
