SETUP
Sensor Setup
- Set the A-B-C SwitchThe A-B-C switch is located inside the battery compartment. It can be set to A, B or C. However, you must select different letter choices for each of the sensors if you are synchronizing more than one.
- Install or Replace BatteriesAcuRite recommends high quality alkaline or lithium batteries for the best product performance. Heavy duty or rechargeable batteries are not recommended.The sensor requires lithium batteries in low temperature conditions. Cold temperatures can cause alkaline batteries to function improperly. Use lithium batteries in the sensor for temperatures below -4ºF / -20ºC.
- Slide off the battery compartment cover. Take note of the A-B-C switch setting inside the battery compartment.
- Insert 2 x AA batteries into the battery compartment, as shown. Follow the polarity (+/-) diagram in the battery compartment.
- Replace the battery cover.
- Repeat steps 1-3 to setup additional sensors (if applicable; sold separately).NOTE: The A-B-C switch positions must differ between each sensor. Verify that each sensor has a different channel selected by checking the switch position in the battery compartment.

Temperature SensorModel 06002RMPlacement for Maximum Accuracy
AcuRite sensors are sensitive to surrounding environmental conditions. Proper placement of both the display and wireless sensor are critical to the accuracy and performance of this product.
Display Placementpm Place the display in a dry area free of dirt and dust. Display stands upright for tabletop use or is wall-mountable.
Wireless Sensor PlacementSensor is water-resistant and is designed for indoor or outdoor use, however, to extend its life place the sensor in an area protected from direct weather elements. The sensor may also be placed indoors to measure environmental conditions.Hang the sensor using the integrated hang holes or hanger, or by using string (not included) to hang it from a suitable location, like a well covered tree branch. The best location is 4 to 8 feet above the ground with permanent shade and plenty of fresh air to circulate around the sensor.
Important Placement Guidelines
- To ensure accurate temperature measurement, place units out of direct sunlight and away from heat sources or vents.Display and wireless sensor must be within 330 ft (100 m) of each other.
- To maximize wireless range, place units away from large metallic items, thick walls, metal surfaces, or other objects that may limit wireless communication.
- To prevent wireless interference, place both units at least 3 ft (.9 m) away from electronic devices (TV, computer, microwave, radio, etc.)
Setup is CompleteThe sensor(s) will now synchronize with the display. It may take a few minutes for synchronization to complete. Please refer to the troubleshooting section of this manual if anything appears to be functioning improperly.
OPERATION
Using the Thermometer
High & Low RecordsToday’s high and low temperatures are recorded for both the display and the wireless sensor(s). Today’s records automatically clear at 12:00am midnight every day.To view today’s HIGH-temperature records, press and HOLD the “” button until the “
” icon appears on the display next to the high records. Press and release the “” or “” buttons to cycle through the high records for each wireless sensor.
To view today’s LOW-temperature records, press and HOLD the “” button until the “
” icon appears on the display next to the low records. Press and release the “” or “” buttons to cycle through the low records for each wireless sensor.
View Temperature ReadingsThe thermometer displays the current temperature readings for both the display and the wireless sensor(s).
If the thermometer is being used with more than one wireless sensor, toggle between each sensor’s readings by pressing and releasing the “” or “” buttons on the back of the display.
In auto-cycle mode, the display will automatically cycle through the data available for each wireless sensor. Auto-cycle mode can be activated by pressing and releasing the “” or “” buttons on the back of the display until the 
indicator appears.
The Sensor Indicator is used to determine which sensor readings you are viewing. For example, if the Sensor Indicator is displaying “A”, the readings are being transmitted from the sensor with the A-B-C switch set to “A.”
