placement of both the display unit and the 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. To  
ensure accurate temperature measurement, place out of direct  
sunlight and away from heat sources or vents. Display unit stands  
upright for tabletop use or is wall-mountable.  
Important Placement Guidelines  
Display unit and sensor must be within 330 feet (100 m) of each other.  
MAXIMIZE WIRELESS RANGE  
Place units away from large metallic items, thick walls, metal surfaces, or other  
objects that may limit wireless communication.  
PREVENT WIRELESS INTERFERENCE

OPERATION  
Using the Professional Weather Center  
Learning Mode  
Self-Calibrating Forecasting use a unique algorithm to analyze changes in  
pressure over a time period (called Learning Mode) to determine your altitude.  
After 14 days, the Learning Mode icon disappears from the display screen. At  
this point, the self-calibrated pressure is tuned in to your location and the unit is  
ready for superior weather prediction.  
Weather Forecast  
AcuRite’s patented Self-Calibrating Forecasting provides your personal forecast  
of weather conditions for the next 12 to 24 hours by collecting data from  
the sensor in your backyard. It generates a forecast with pinpoint accuracy -  
personalized for your exact location.

Barometric Pressure  
Subtle variations in barometric pressure greatly affect the weather. This weath-  
er forecaster displays the current pressure, direction it’s trending (FALLING,  
STEADY, or RISING) and a pressure chart. The chart tracks and displays the  
change in pressure so you can monitor the rate of change over time.  
Rainfall Event  
The rainfall feature tracks rain accumulation over all-time, the current month,  
and current rainfall event. Current event clears when no rain registers for 8  
hours OR no rain registers for 1 hour and pressure rises by .03inhg or more.  
Programmable Weather Alarms  
Each Selectable Weather Category features an alarm option. When an  
alarm sounds, the display unit emits an audible beep and flashes the affected  
category, its alarm settings, and any other relevant data.  
Some alarms can be customized to alert you when your programmed value is  
reached. Alarms include: outdoor temperature, outdoor humidity, wind speed,  
heat index, dew point, wind chill, indoor temperature and indoor humidity.  
The rain alarm does not require a preset numerical value, but instead sounds as  
soon as rain is recorded. Similarly, the storm alarm sounds when a large atmo-  
spheric pressure drop occurs, which usually indicates an oncoming storm. Note:  
The storm alarm is NOT intended to be a safety device or warning system.
