2 3Sensor SetupSet the A-B-C SwitchThe A-B-C switch is located inside the battery compartment. Slide to set the channel to A, B or C. NOTE: If being used with a companion product that has an A-B-C channel, you must select the same letter choice for both the sensor and the product it is being paired with in order for the units to synchronize.Install or Replace BatteriesAcuRite recommends high quality alkaline or lithium batteries in the wireless sensor for the best product performance. Heavy duty or rechargeable batteries are not recommended.The sensor requires lithium 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.1. Slide off the battery compartmentcover.2. Insert 4 x AA batteries into thebattery compartment, as shown. Follow the polarity (+/-) diagramin the battery compartment.3. Replace the battery cover.SETUP2Install Batteries4 AA batteries1A-B-C SwitchA B CPLEASE 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 fire, 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.Placement for Maximum AccuracyAcuRite sensors are sensitive to surrounding environmental conditions. Proper placement of the sensor is critical to the accuracy and performance of this product.Sensor PlacementSensor 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 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• Sensor must be within 330 feet (100 meters) of a companion unit(sold separately).MAXIMIZE WIRELESS RANGEPlace unit away from large metallic items, thick walls, metal surfaces, or other objects that may limit wireless communication.PREVENT WIRELESS INTERFERENCEPlace unit at least 3 feet (90 cm) away from electronic devices (TV, computer, microwave, radio, etc.).LOCATE AWAY FROM HEAT SOURCESTo ensure accurate temperature measurement, place sensor out of direct sunlight and away from any heat sources.LOCATE AWAY FROM HUMIDITY SOURCESTo ensure accurate humidity measurement, locate sensor away from humidity sources. Avoid installing the sensor near indoor pools, spas, or other bodies of water. Water sources may impact humidity accuracy.Lightning DetectionThe sensor detects cloud-to-cloud, cloud-to-ground and intra-cloud lightning. When lightning is detected, the sensor will beep and the strike indicator will ash for each of the rst 10 strikes. After 10 strikes, the sensor will enter silent mode but will continue to ash. The sensor will stay in silent mode for 2 hours after the last lightning detection.12
4 5False DetectionThis sensor features advanced technology to distinguish between lightning strikes and interference, however in rare cases the sensor may "false detect" lightning activity due to interference. In these situations, verify there is no lightning in the area and then relocate the sensor. If the false detections persist, identify and relocate the source of interference or relocate the sensor.InterferenceThe sensor features enhanced interference rejection capabilities to prevent false lightning detection. When the detector cannot detect lightning due to interference from nearby equipment, the sensor's interference indicator will ash.• Electric motors (windshield wiper motor or fan motors in cars, hard drive andoptical drive motors on your PC and AV equipment, well pumps, sump pumps)• CRT monitors (PC monitors, TV's)• Fluorescent light xtures (turned off or on)• Microwave ovens (while in use)• PC's and mobile phonesWARNING: Take shelter IMMEDIATELY when lightning is present, whether or not it has been detected by the Lightning Detector. If you are concerned about lightning strikes, follow all safety precautions to keep yourself and others safe. DO NOT rely on this Lightning Detector as your only source for warnings about potentially deadly lightning strikes or other severe weather conditions.Problem Possible SolutionInterference Indicator is ashing• Relocate the sensor.• Make sure the sensor is placed at least 3 feet(.9 m) away from electronics that may causeinterference (see Interference section above).TroubleshootingIf your AcuRite product does not operate properly after trying the troubleshooting steps, visit www.AcuRite.com or call (877) 221-1252 for assistance.Care & MaintenanceClean with a soft, damp cloth.
