CALIBRATION & ADVANCED OPTIONS
Calibration Mode
Calibrating Temperature & Humidity
If you find that the temperature and/or humidity is slightly off, this
weather device allows for calibration. The barometric pressure may
be calibrated as well. To calibrate the weather station, you must
enter into the calibration mode.
AVAILABLE CALIBRATION OPTIONS: Outdoor Temperature,
Outdoor Humidity, Indoor Temperature, Indoor Humidity, Pressure.
To calibrate an available weather value, you must first navigate to
the appropriate weather page. Press the “<” or “>” weather page
buttons located on the front of the display unit.
To access the calibration mode for the currently selected weather
page, press AND HOLD the “ ” and “ ” buttons (located on the
back of the display unit) together for at least 5 seconds. After 20
seconds of inactivity, the display will save your adjustments and
automatically exit calibration mode and return to normal operation.
Calibrating the temperature or humidity values are all similar. Once
you are in calibration mode you may calibrate the value up or down
by pressing the “ ” or “ ” buttons. Note the arrow icons indicate
if you are calibrating the value above(+) or below(-) the uncalibrated
raw temperature (0) coming in from the sensor. Press the “ ”
button to confirm your calibration changes and return to normal
operation.
Barometric Pressure Options
Barometric Pressure Options Menu
The Weather Station is preset from the factory with a “14-day”
AcuRite pressure learning mode” that anylizes the differences in
pressure to determine your altitude- which is critical for forecasting.
The display unit gives you the option to observe this “AcuRite
Pressure” value and use that for pressure weather page AND
forecasting, or alternatively you may use the unadjusted “Station
Pressure” value. If you choose to use the “Station Pressure”, you may
calibrate the value to match a known good reading in your area if
you wish.
Calibrating the pressure affects the forecasting feature greatly, for
this reason it is reccomended that the pressure be left alone and
remain uncalibrated. However, some advanced users may wish to
calibrate the pressure reading or change the type of pressure that is
displayed- so those options are available.
Acurite Pressure
Acurite Pressure is the default pressure mode. This is the most
automatic mode and requires no user input for accuracy. This
pressure mode requires a 14-day learning period of adjustments to
determine your altitude- which is critical for forecasting. As a result,
for the first 14 days the pressure value being displayed in the
“PRESSURE” weather page and the forecast display may be
inaccurate.
CALIBRATE

sensor value
“0” will always represent
the raw uncalibrated value
coming in from the sensor
To calibrate
below current
sensor value
To access the pressure options menu first navigate to the “PRESSURE”
weather page, press AND HOLD the “ ” and “ ” buttons (located
on the back of the display unit) together for at least 5 seconds.
You may now press the “<” and “>” buttons located on the front of
the display to choose between 3 pressure display options:
