AcuRite 02002 Thermometer - Manual (Page 3)

Place the main unit in a dry area free of dirt and dust. To help ensure
an accurate indoor temperature measurement, be sure to place the
main unit out of direct sunlight, and away from any heat sources or
vents in your home. For the best possible atomic clock reception,
place the main unit with the back side facing Colorado.
There are 2 placement options for the the main unit. You may hang
the main unit on a wall using the integrated hang holes on the
bottom of the tilting display stand. Alternatively, you may place the
main unit on a table top or other flat surface.
Placement of Main Unit
The wireless sensor MUST BE PLACED OUTDOORS to observe
outdoor temperatures and relay the outdoor temperature to the main
unit display. The wireless sensor must be placed less than 100 feet
from the main unit.
The wireless sensor is water resistant and is designed for outdoor
use. However, to extend the life of the product, place the wireless
sensor in an area protected from direct weather elements. To ensure
an accurate outdoor temperature measurement, be sure the wireless
sensor is placed out of direct sunlight and away from any heat
sources.

3 • PLACEMENT
Now that setup is complete, you must choose a location to place the wireless
sensor and the main unit. The wireless sensor MUST be placed less than 100
feet away from the main unit.
This wireless thermometer uses radio frequency for communication, which is
susceptible to interference from other electronic devices and large metallic
items or thick walls. Always place both units at least 3 feet away from
appliances ( TV, microwave, radios, etc. ) or objects ( large metal surfaces, thick
stone walls, etc. ) that may interfere with the wireless communication.

4 • OPERATION
After the main unit and the wireless sensor are both powered on and
wirelessly synchronized, no further input is required. The atomic clock
will automatically re-synchronize occasionally to ensure the clock is
accurate.
Wireless Signal Reception Icons
The main unit has signal reception icons in the outdoor temperature
display area and near the atomic clock display. If there are a low number
of “bars” present, you may experience no temperature display ( “--” ) or
inaccuracy. In either case, you may need to relocate one or both of the
units. If most or all 4 of the bars are present, wireless reception is good
and no action is required. If the atomic clock signal bars are low, the clock
may be inaccurate or may not automatically adjust for daylight saving
time (DST).
