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 the display unit in a dry area free of dirt and dust.  
Display unit 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 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 165 ft (50 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.).  
(165 feet maximum)  
(50 meters)  
Setup is Complete  
The sensor will now synchronize with the display unit. 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.

Troubleshooting  
If the wireless signal indicator shows no bars:  
• Relocate the display unit and/or the outdoor sensor.  
The units must be within 165 ft (50 m) of each other.  
Make sure both units are placed at least 3 feet (.9 m)  
away from electronics that may interfere with the  
wireless communication (such as TVs, microwaves,  
computers, etc).  
No outdoor sensor  
reception  
no bars  
• Use standard alkaline batteries (or lithium batteries in  
sensor when temperature is below -4ºF/-20ºC). Do not  
use heavy duty or rechargeable batteries. NOTE: It  
may take up to 20 minutes for display unit and sensor  
to synchronize after batteries are replaced.  
Flashing of the outdoor temperature is generally an  
indication of wireless interference.  
1. Bring both the sensor and display unit indoors and  
remove at least one battery from each.  
2. Reinstall the battery in the outdoor sensor.  
3. Reinstall the battery in the display unit.  
Outdoor  
temperature  
is flashing or  
showing dashes  
4. Let the units sit within a couple feet of each other  
for about 20 minutes to gain a strong connection.  
• Make sure both the display unit and sensor are  
placed out of direct sunlight and away from any heat  
sources or vents (see page 6).
