If your AcuRite product does not operate properly after trying
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 and/or the wireless sensor.
The units must be within 330 ft (100 m) of each
other.
• Make sure all 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 and
sensor to synchronize after batteries are replaced.
Flashing of the wireless sensor 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 wireless 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 7).
• Check that the batteries are installed correctly.
Batteries may need to be replaced.
