SETUP
Installing Batteries – Display Console
About the Self Setting Intelli-Time® ClockYour new weather station is equipped with Intelli-Time® technology which is pre-programmed with the correct time and date. Intelli-Time® technology instructs the clock to set itself once batteries are installed. All you need to do is select your Time Zone and Daylight Saving Time preferences. The clock will automatically set itself and change automatically for Daylight Saving Time.
Quick Setup – Display ConsoleAfter installing batteries, the Intelli-Time® clock and calendar will automatically set to the correct time, all you need to do is select your time zone.
NOTE: IF FRENCH OR SPANISH LANGUAGE IS SELECTED (SEE MANUAL SETUP TO CHANGE LANGUAGE), THE TIME ZONE SELECTION ON THE DISPLAY WILL BE G.M.T. -/+ HOURS
Next, you will need to select your general geographic region for the Micro-Forecast to function properly. The Micro-Forecast feature analyzes outdoor temperature, outdoor humidity, pressure changes, and geographic region information to give you the most accurate forecast a single station forecast can provide.
Manual Setup – Display ConsolePress the SET (
Adjustable Stand – Display ConsoleTo adjust the display for optimum viewing angle, loosen the locking knobs and gently tilt the display to the desired angle. Re-tighten the knobs to set the angle.NOTE: do not set the display angle all the way forward or backward unless you are wall-mounting the display. This will cause the display to tip forward or backward.
USE
Basic FunctionsThe Professional Wireless Weather Center was designed to give you the most useful information at a glance. The following is an overview of basic functions for everyday use.WEATHER PAGE DISPLAY:The weather page display area will show you information about the currently selected weather type. The weather scale will show you additional information, like trend or wind direction. You may also access history records for the currently selected weather page.MANUALLY BROWSE WEATHER PAGES: You may manually browse through the available weather pages at any time by pressing the “< ” or “> ” buttons located on the front of the display consoleWIRELESS SIGNAL RECEPTION ICON: The display console features a “SENSOR” signal reception icon to the left of the clock display area. If there are a low number of “bars” present, you may experience no temperature display ( “–” ) or inaccuracy. Occasionally, due to intermittent physical obstructions (such as vehicle traffic, etc.) or other environmental interference, the signal may be lost. If the sensor batteries are low the signal will be lost as well.After a signal loss- the display console will automatically begin to search for the wireless multi-sensor and attempt to re-acquire the wireless signal. In the event that the signal is lost completely and cannot be re-acquired, the antennae icon will flash with no bars. In the case that the sensor signal is lost completely, you may need torelocate the display console or the wireless multi-sensor.
Display ModesThe weather page display has three distinct viewing modes- Manual, Cycle or Auto-Display. To change between these modes, press the display button “
Weather ScaleThe display console features a weather scale, a graphic representation of the rate of change for a particular weather page. For most weather pages, this scale will simply show the rate of increase or decrease.For example, when the pressure weather page is being viewed, the scale example here is showing that the pressure is falling rapidly.
When the wind speed page is displayed, the weather scale converts automatically to show you a linear wind direction scale. In this case, the wind is coming out of the WEST at 12 m.p.h.
Precision Weather ForecastInitial learning modeThe Forecast will not display predicted high or low temperatures or chance of precipitation for the first few hours after powering on. During this initial learning mode, the weather forecaster will observe minute changes to learn your weather patterns and increase the accuracy of the initial forecast. Note that the forecast will become more accurate as it obtains more information about your microclimate.Forecast DisplayThe forecast display area gives you the predicted weather forecast for the next 4 hours, 4 to 8 hours, and 8 to 12 hour time periods. Each time period will also display the predicted High and Low temperatures, as well as the chance (%) for precipitation. The forecaster is always analyzing the available data, and consistently updates the forecast icons and highs/lows/precipitation chance as time goes on. This will help you to plan ahead for the next 12 hours of weather at any given time.The weather forecast icon will display one of 18 different weather conditions.The Moon will show (as a simplified Moon Phase) instead of the sun when the forecast time period occurs overnight.Below is an example of just three of the 18 forecast icons.
Atmospheric PressureThe display console features a “PRESSURE” weather page.
LEARN MORE>Atmospheric Pressure is defined as the pressure at any location on the Earth, caused by the weight of the column of air above it. At sea level, atmospheric pressure has an average value of one atmosphere and gradually decreases as altitude increases. Also called barometric pressure.The weight of the air mass, or atmosphere, that envelopes Earth exerts pressure on all points of the planet’s surface. Meteorologists use barometers to measure this atmospheric pressure (also called barometric pressure). At sea level, the atmospheric pressure is approximately 1 kilogram per square centimeter (14.7 pounds per square inch), which will cause a column of mercury in a mercury barometer to rise 760 millimeters (30.4 inches). Subtle variations in atmospheric pressure greatly affect the weather. Low pressure generally brings rain. In areas of low air pressure, the air is less dense and relatively warm, which causes it to rise. The expanding and rising air naturally cools, and the water vapor in the air condenses, forming clouds and the drops that fall as rain. In high-pressure areas, conversely, the air is dense and relatively cool, which causes it to sink. The water vapor in the sinking air does not condense, leaving the skies sunny and clear.
RainfallThe RAINFALL weather page will display the rainfall total from the current rain event. A weather system may come into your area very slowly and may rain over many hours or days without any breaks. The rainfall weather page displayed event total accounts for this and will continue to display the total until the rain event is over.
Weather HistoryThe display console can display short and long-term records. To access history records for the currently displayed weather page, press the “
MAINTENANCE
DISPLAY CONSOLE MAINTENANCE:Clean with a soft damp cloth, do not use caustic cleaners or abrasives as these will damage the finish on the display console. Keep away from dust and dirt and moisture, dust ventilation ports regularly with a gentle puff of air, this will keep the indoor temperature and humidity are accurate.INTEGRATED WIRELESS SENSOR MAINTENANCE:Clean the housing with a damp cloth, do not use abrasive cleaners or any materials that will mar the polished surfaces of the rain collection funnel or the solar panel- this will result in decreased performance and reliability.Occasionally remove the rain collector screen cup and empty it. This will filter out seeds and small sticks, etc. (the rain collector screen cup is located within the rain funnel- remove from the top gently by squeezing and pulling out).Remove any foreign matter on the outside of the housing to allow for free movement of wind vane and anemometer.INSECTS: in most cases, insects will not pose a problem. However, in some instances, insects may cause repeated obstructions to weather measurement by nesting in or contaminating the integrated wireless sensor. In these cases, it may help to spray the housing with a commercially available home insect guard/repellent product (not included) to limit the problem. Please consult the insect repellent manufacturers instructions and safety information before using.BATTERY SAFETY: Clean the battery contacts and also those of the device prior to battery installation. Remove batteries from equipment that is not to be used for an extended period of time. Follow the polarity (+/-) diagram in the battery compartment. Promptly remove dead batteries from the device. Dispose of used batteries properly. Only batteries of the same or equivalent type as recommended are to be used. DO NOT incinerate used batteries. DO NOT dispose of batteries in fire, as batteries may explode or leak. DO NOT mix old and new batteries or types of batteries (alkaline/standard). DO NOT use rechargeable batteries. DO NOT recharge non-rechargeable batteries. DO NOT short-circuit the supply terminals.

CALIBRATION & ADVANCED OPTIONS
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.Calibration Mode 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 “
Barometric Pressure OptionsThe Weather Station is preset from the factory with a “14-day” AcuRite pressure learning mode” that analyzes 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 the 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 recommended 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.
Barometric Pressure Options MenuTo access the pressure options menu first navigate to the “PRESSURE” weather page, press AND HOLD the “
Acurite PressureAcurite 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 determining 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.
CALIBRATION & ADVANCED OPTIONS
Station PressureStation pressure is the second pressure mode. When selected, station pressure will use the unadjusted pressure value to display in the “PRESSURE” weather page. It will also use the unadjusted pressure reading for the forecast feature.Station Pressure Calibration Once you are in STATION PRESSURE CALIBRATION mode you may calibrate the value up or down by pressing the “
