The following meteorological “Rules of Thumb” will help you interpret your Acurite® barometer readings.
1.A rise in barometric pressure typically indicates clearing weather can be expected
2.A rapid drop in barometric pressure typically indicates that weather disturbances are nearby and could result in precipitation
3.A slow but continuous drop in barometric pressure typically indicates that persistent bad weather can be expected
4.Steep pressure drops typically indicates approaching storms with strong winds
Remember that many factors determine actual weather conditions. Geographic location, temperature, humidity, wind direction and even the season must be considered when your barometer indicates a rising or falling atmospheric pressure.

Thank You for purchasing this ACURITE® product. To fully understand and appreciate your new home comfort monitor, please read this document carefully.
1 • Choosing the correct location
Acurite® home comfort monitors are designed for indoor use only. They should be placed on inside walls and away from heat registers, air conditioners, humidifiers, and out of direct sunlight as these locations may affect the accuracy of the thermometer and hygrometer instruments.
Mount your weather station on the wall
The Acurite® home comfort monitor has keyhole slots cut into the backside for hanging. Use a securely anchored screw, nail or hook to support the weight of the home comfort monitor. Make certain the screw/nail head is large enough to prevent the monitor from slipping off in the event it is jarred or bumped.
2 • Care and cleaning of your home comfort monitor
Wood Plaque
The solid wood plaque is finished with a clear satin lacquer to protect and preserve the appearance. Although occasional use of a good furniture paste wax is acceptable, we recommend that periodic cleaning with a very lightly dampened soft cloth is best. Be sure to wipe the wood dry with a soft cloth after cleaning.
Instruments
Avoid use of harsh household cleaners and coarse paper towels which would damage the lacquer coating on the bezel and scratch the lens. Fingerprints and dirt may be removed from the lenses and bezels with a soft cloth lightly dampened with a mixture of water and mild dish washing liquid. Be sure to dry the lens and bezel with a soft cloth after cleaning.
