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 unit 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 unit and sensor to
synchronize after batteries are replaced.
• Check that the power adapter is plugged into the
display and an electrical outlet.
Flashing of the outdoor temperature is generally an
indication of wireless interference.
1. Bring 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 batteries in the outdoor sensor.
4. Reinstall the batteries in the display unit.
5. Let the units sit within a couple feet of each other
for a few minutes to gain a strong connection.
• Make sure both the display unit and sensor are
placed out of direct sunlight and away from any heat
sources or vents (see page 8).
• Make sure both units are positioned away from
moisture sources (see page 8).
