the troubleshooting steps, visit www.acurite.com/support.
If the wireless signal indicator shows no bars:
• Relocate the display 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 -4˚F/-20˚C). 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 at
least one battery from each.
2. Reinstall the battery in the outdoor sensor.
3. Reinstall the battery in the display.
4. 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 and sensor are placed out of
direct sunlight and away from any heat sources or vents (see
page 5).
• Check that the batteries are installed correctly. Batteries may
need to be replaced.
