SETUP
Install or Replace Batteries
AcuRite recommends high quality alkaline batteries for the best product
performance. Heavy duty or rechargeable batteries are not recommended.
The outdoor sensor requires lithium batteries in low temperature conditions.
Cold temperatures can cause alkaline batteries to function improperly. Use
lithium batteries in the outdoor sensor for temperatures below -4ºF / -20ºC.
Outdoor Sensor
1. Slide off the battery compartment
cover.
2. Insert 2 x AA batteries into the
battery compartment, as shown.
Follow the polarity (+/-) diagram in
the battery compartment.
3. Replace the battery cover.
Display Unit
1. Slide off the battery compartment
cover.
2. Insert 3 x AA batteries into the
battery compartment, as shown.
Follow the polarity (+/-) diagram in
the battery compartment.
3. Replace the battery cover.
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

Intelli-Time®Clock
Intelli-Time products are pre-programmed with the correct time and date.
Intelli-Time technology instructs the time and date to set themselves. All you
need to do is select your Time Zone and Daylight Saving Time preferences. The
clock will then automatically set itself and change for Daylight Saving Time.
To select your time zone, press the “ZONE” button located on the back of the
display unit inside the battery compartment.
Set the Time & Date & Units
Press the “SET” button to enter SET MODE. Once in SET MODE, the
preference you are currently setting will blink on the display.
To adjust the currently selected (ashing) 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 SET MODE at any time by pressing the “SET” button for 3 seconds.
*DST is set to ON by default. If you live in an area that observes daylight
saving time, DST should remain ON.
Set the Measurement Units
To select between degrees Fahrenheit (ºF) or Celsius (ºC) temperature units,
press the “ºC/ºF” button located on the back of the display unit inside the
battery compartment.

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.).
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.

OPERATION
Using the Sportsman’s Forecaster
Hunting & Fishing Activity Meter
Don’t miss out on favorable weather and wildlife conditions! AcuRite’s Hunting
& Fishing Activity Meter predicts wildlife activity levels by combining weather
observations with lunar positioning data. View the shing meter, the hunting
meter, or automatically cycle between both meters.
Use the mode buttons on the back of the display
unit (shown right) to select the meter mode:
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.
View the complete list of icons at www.AcuRite.com/acurite-icons
Barometric Pressure
Subtle variations in barometric pressure greatly affect the weather. This
weather forecaster displays the current pressure, trend arrow and a pressure
chart. The chart tracks and displays the change in pressure so you can monitor
the rate of change over time.

Troubleshooting
Problem Possible Solution
No outdoor sensor
reception
no bars
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).
• 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.
Display screen
not working
• Check that the batteries are installed correctly.
Batteries may need to be replaced.

Troubleshooting
Problem Possible Solution
Outdoor
temperature
is ashing or
showing dashes
Flashing of the outdoor temperature is generally an
indication of wireless interference.
1. Bring both the sensor and display unit indoors and
remove batteries from each.
2. Reinstall batteries in the outdoor sensor.
3. Reinstall batteries in the display unit.
4. Let the units sit within a couple feet of each other for
about 20 minutes to gain a strong connection.
Inaccurate forecast
• Weather Forecast icon predicts conditions for the next
12 to 24 hours, not current conditions.
• Has Learning Mode icon disappeared from the
display unit? 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 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
• 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).
If your AcuRite product does not operate properly after trying
the troubleshooting steps, visit www.AcuRite.com or call
