Elements of the set
- 1 x Digital Display
- 2 x Wireless Sensors
Setup and battery installation
Thermometer Display: Slide off the battery compartment cover and insert 3 x AA alkaline batteries, following the polarity (+/-) diagram.
Sensors: Slide off the battery compartment covers on the front of the units and insert 2 x AA batteries into each. Note: For temperatures below -4°F (-20°C), use lithium batteries in the freezer sensor.
Placement guidelines
Display: Place in a dry area free of dirt and dust. It features a magnet mount, a fold-out stand for tabletop use, and a keyhole for wall mounting.
Sensors: Each sensor includes a silicon band for wire shelves and a detachable suction cup for interior surfaces (note: suction cups do not adhere well to freezing surfaces). Ensure the A-B-C switch on the sensor matches the display setting.
Operation and alarm settings
The device displays current temperatures and min/max records for the past 24 hours. To customize temperature alarms:
- Press the sensor button (refrigerator or freezer icon) to select the sensor.
- Press the SET button; the minimum temperature alarm setting will blink.
- Use the up/down arrows to adjust the minimum temperature, then press SET to confirm.
- Repeat the process to set the maximum temperature alarm.
Care and maintenance
Clean the device with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use caustic cleaners or abrasives. If the display shows dashes, perform a hard reset by bringing all units together, removing all batteries, and reinstalling them starting with the display.

Common problems
Bring all 3 units together, remove all batteries, reinstall batteries in the display first, then in each sensor to force a hard reset.
Ensure you are using the correct battery type. Use lithium batteries in the freezer sensor if temperatures drop below -4°F (-20°C).
Check that batteries are installed correctly and verify the temperature is within the measurable range of -40.0°F to 99.0°F.
Before use
- Remove the protective film from the LCD screen.
- Ensure the A-B-C switch on the sensors matches the display.
- Use high-quality alkaline batteries (lithium for freezer if below -4°F).
- Verify the display and sensors are within 75 feet (23 meters) of each other.
- Register the product online at www.AcuRite.com for warranty service.
