5-in-1 Sensor Setup
Set the A-B-C Switch
Locate the A-B-C switch inside the
battery compartment. Set the A-B-C
switch to A, B or C. You must select
the same letter choices for both the
sensor and the display in order for
the units to synchronize.
Install or Replace Batteries
Batteries MUST be installed for
this product to operate. AcuRite
recommends high quality alkaline
or lithium batteries for the best
product performance. Heavy duty
or rechargeable batteries are not
recommended.
The 5-in-1 sensor requires lithium
batteries in low temperature
conditions. Cold temperatures can
cause alkaline batteries to function
improperly. Use lithium batteries in
the 5-in-1 sensor for temperatures
below -4ºF/-20ºC.
1. Slide off the battery
compartment cover.
2. Insert 4 x AA batteries into the
battery compartment, as
shown. Follow the polarity
(+/-) diagram in the battery
compartment.
3. Replace the battery cover.
Remove Rain Gauge Stabilizer
Locate and remove the rain gauge
stabilizer (plastic tab) taped into
the bottom of the sensor. The rain
gauge will not function until this is
removed.

NOTE:
If add-on sensors are being used with the display (see page 12), set them up at this
time. If pairing more than one wireless sensor with the display, the A-B-C channel must differ
between each add-on sensor. The display will automatically begin searching for add-on sensors
during initial setup.
