Cold temperatures can cause alkaline batteries to function improperly. Use lithium batteries in the sensor for temperatures below -4ºF / -20ºC. The A-B-C switch is located inside the battery compartment. It can be set to A, B or C. However, you must select the same letter choices for both the sensor and the display unit in order for the units to synchronize. 1. S lide off the battery compartment cover. Take note of the A-B-C switch setting inside the battery compartment. 2 Install or Replace Batteries AcuRite recommends high quality alkaline or lithium batteries for the best product performance. Heavy duty or rechargeable batteries are not recommended. 2. Insert 2 x AA batteries into the battery compartment, as shown. F ollow the polarity (+/-) diagram in the battery compartment. The sensor requires lithium batteries in low temperature 3. R eplace the battery cover. 1 A-B-C Switch set to match display unit ABC 2 Install Batteries 2 AA batteries 5 Display Unit Setup 2 Install or Replace Batteries 1 Set the A-B-C Switch L ocate the A-B-C switch inside the battery compartment. Set the A-B-C switch to A, B or C. You must select the same letter choices for both the display unit and the sensor in order for the units to synchronize. 1. R emove the battery compartment cover. 2. Insert 3 x AA alkaline batteries into the battery compartment, as shown. Follow the polarity (+/-) diagram in the battery compartment. 3. Replace the battery cover. 1 A-B-C Switch set to match sensor 2 ABC Install Batteries 3 AA batteries 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 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. 6 Atomic Clock AcuRite atomic clocks use a radio-controlled signal (RCC) to synchronize to the correct time broadcast by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Radio Station WWVB, located near Fort Collins, Colorado. WWVB broadcasts the current time and date with split-second accuracy. The atomic clock and calendar will maintain the correct time and date, and automatically update for daylight saving time to provide the most accurate timekeeping standard possible. Please note: Signal reception is normally better at night and when the weather is clear. The atomic signal generally takes a few hours to synchronize, so it is important to manually set the time and date after powering on the display. Set the Time & Date The display unit will automatically start in SET mode after batteries have been installed. Enter SET mode at any time by pressing the “SET” button, located on the back of the display unit. Once in set mode, the preference you are currently setting will blink on the display. To adjust the currently selected (flashing) item, press and release the “+” or “–“ buttons (press and HOLD to fast adjust). To save your adjustments, press and release the “SET” button again to adjust the next preference. The preference set order is as follows: TIME ZONE ( PST MST CST EST AST HAST AKST) DST ( Daylight Saving Time ON or OFF)* CLOCK HOUR CLOCK MINUTE CALENDAR MONTH CALENDAR DATE CALENDAR YEAR You will automatically exit SET MODE if no buttons are pressed for 30 seconds. Enter setup mode at any time by pressing the “SET” button. *If you live in an area that observes Daylight Savings Time, DST should be set to ON, even if it is not currently Daylight Savings Time. Select Degrees Fahrenheit or Celsius To select between degrees Fahrenheit (ºF) or Celsius (ºC) temperature units, press the “ºF/ºC” button located on the back of the display unit. 7 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 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.). TV AT LEAST 3 (.9 m) APART (330 feet maximum) (100 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. 8 OPERATION Using the Weather Forecaster Learning Mode Self-Calibrating Forecasting uses 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. RAIN/SNOW MIX LIKELY SNOW LIKELY RAIN LIKELY CLOUDY MOSTLY CLOUDY View the complete list of icons at www.AcuRite.com/acurite-icons Troubleshooting No outdoor sensor reception no bars If the wireless signal indicator shows no bars: •R elocate the display unit and/or the outdoor sensor. The units must be within 330 ft (100 m) of each other. •M ake 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). •U se 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. Display screen not working •C heck that the batteries are installed correctly. Batteries may need to be replaced. Outdoor t emperature is flashing or showing dashes Flashing of the outdoor temperature is generally an indication of wireless interference. 1. B ring both the sensor and display unit indoors and remove at least one battery from each. 2. Make sure the A-B-C switch on both units match. 3. Reinstall the battery in the outdoor sensor. 4. Reinstall the battery in the display unit. 5. L et the units sit within a couple feet of each other for about 20 minutes to gain a strong connection. 9 Inaccurate forecast •W eather Forecast icon predicts conditions for the next 12 to 24 hours, not current conditions. •H as Learning Mode icon disappeared from the display unit? Learning Mode must complete before forecast and pressure will be accurate. •A llow unit to run continuously for 33 days. Battery removal or resetting the display unit will restart Learning Mode. After 14 days, forecast should be fairly accurate, however Learning Mode calibrates for a total of 33 days. Inaccurate temperature •M ake sure both the display unit and sensor are placed out of direct sunlight and away from any heat sources or vents (see page 7). Atomic signal or time syncing problems •P ress the SIGNAL button on the back of the display to manually search for the atomic clock signal.
