If your AcuRite product does not operate properly after trying the troubleshooting

steps, visit www.AcuRite.com or call 877-221-1252 for assistance.

If the wireless signal indicator shows no bars:

• Relocate the display and/or the outdoor sensor.

The units must be within 330 ft (100 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.).

• 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 a few minutes for display 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 indoors and remove

batteries from each.

2. Make sure the A-B-C switches on both units match.

3. Reinstall batteries in the outdoor sensor.

4. Reinstall batteries in the display.

5. Let the units sit within a couple feet of each other

for a few minutes to gain a strong connection.

• Weather Forecast icon predicts conditions for the next

12 to 24 hours, not current conditions.

• Has the learning mode icon disappeared from the

display? Learning Mode must complete before forecast

and pressure will be accurate.

• Allow unit to run continuously for 33 days. Battery

removal or resetting the display will restart Learning

Mode. After 14 days, forecast should be fairly accurate,

however, Learning Mode calibrates for a total of 33 days.

• Make sure both the display and sensor are placed out of

direct sunlight and away from any heat sources or vents

(see page 9).

• Make sure both units are positioned away from moisture

sources (see page 9).

• Check that the power adapter is plugged into the display

and an electrical outlet.

• Reset the display by pressing the reset button, located

on the back of the display. Date and time will need to be

entered after a reset
