SETUP
Set the A-B-C Switch
The A-B-C switch is located inside
the battery compartment. It can
be set to A, B or C. However,

batteries in low temperature
conditions. Cold temperatures
can cause alkaline batteries
to function improperly. Use
lithium batteries in the sensor for
temperatures below -4ºF / -20ºC.

compartment cover. Take note
of the A-B-C switch setting
inside the battery compartment
for display unit setup.
2. Insert 2 x AA batteries into
the battery compartment, as
shown. Follow the polarity
(+/-) diagram in the battery
compartment.
3. Replace the battery cover.

Placement for Maximum Accuracy
AcuRite sensors are sensitive to surrounding environmental conditions. Proper
placement of both the display unit and outdoor sensor are critical to the
accuracy and performance of this product.
Display Unit Placement
Place display unit in a dry area free of dirt and dust. Display
stands upright for tabletop use or is wall-mountable. For wall
mounting, hang using the keyhole located on back of the unit.
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 holes 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 unit 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.).

The sensor will now synchronize with the display unit. It may take a few
minutes for synchronization to complete. NOTE: It will take up to 4 hours to
generate a weather forecast after initial setup.
