Placement 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 Placement
Place the display in a dry area free of dirt and dust. Display 
stands upright for tabletop use or is wall-mountable.
Sensor Placement 
Sensor 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 any heat sources or vents. 
• Display and outdoor sensor must be within 165 ft (50 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.).
