Alarm Clock Placement

Place alarm clock in a dry area free of dirt and dust. To help ensure

an accurate indoor temperature measurement, be sure to place the

display away from heat sources or vents.

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.

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.

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.).

Setup is Complete

The sensor will now synchronize with the alarm clock. It may take a few

minutes for synchronization to complete.
