This document describes the AcuRite Humidity Monitor, model 00613, a precision instrument designed to provide accurate information about indoor humidity and temperature. The device helps users monitor their home environment to ensure comfort and health.

Function Description

The AcuRite Humidity Monitor continuously displays current indoor humidity and temperature. It also tracks and records the lowest and highest humidity and temperature readings over specific timeframes. A key feature is the Humidity Level Icon, which visually indicates whether the current indoor humidity is low, ideal, or high, helping users quickly assess their environment's comfort level. The monitor is designed to be user-friendly, providing essential environmental data at a glance.

Usage Features

The monitor is designed for ease of use and placement. It features a magnetic backing, allowing it to be conveniently attached to metal surfaces like a refrigerator. Additionally, a pop-out stand is included for tabletop use, offering flexibility in placement within any room.

The display unit clearly shows the current indoor humidity as a percentage and the current indoor temperature in either Fahrenheit or Celsius. Users can easily switch between Fahrenheit (°F) and Celsius (°C) temperature units by pressing the "°C/°F" button located on the back of the display unit.

The monitor also displays "Low Humidity Record" and "High Humidity Record," which represent the lowest and highest humidity levels recorded over the past 24-36 hours. Similarly, "Low Temperature Record" and "High Temperature Record" show the lowest and highest temperatures recorded over the same period. These records are updated based on three 12-hour blocks of time, ensuring that the displayed highs and lows reflect recent environmental conditions, typically within a minimum of 24 hours and a maximum of 36 hours from when the batteries were installed.

The Humidity Level Icon is a visual indicator that simplifies understanding the indoor humidity.

A "LOW" icon indicates that humidity is low relative to temperature, suggesting a dry environment.
An "OK" icon signifies that humidity is ideal relative to temperature, indicating an ideal environment.
A "HIGH" icon shows that humidity is high relative to temperature, suggesting a humid environment. This icon helps users quickly determine if their indoor environment is within a comfortable and healthy humidity range.

For optimal performance, the monitor should be placed in a dry area, free from dirt and dust. To ensure accurate temperature readings, it should be kept out of direct sunlight and away from any heat sources or vents. For accurate humidity measurements, it should be placed away from direct humidity sources.

Maintenance Features

The primary maintenance for the AcuRite Humidity Monitor involves battery installation and replacement. The device requires one "AA" battery to operate. AcuRite recommends using high-quality alkaline or lithium batteries for the best performance, while heavy-duty or rechargeable batteries are not recommended.

To install or replace batteries:

Slide off the battery compartment cover located on the back of the display unit.
Insert one "AA" battery into the compartment, ensuring correct polarity as indicated by the (+/-) diagram.
Replace the battery cover securely.

Before initial use, a protective film applied to the LCD screen should be removed by locating the tab and peeling it off.

When replacing batteries, it is important to clean the battery contacts on both the battery and the device. If the device will not be used for an extended period, batteries should be removed to prevent leakage. Dead batteries should be promptly removed and disposed of properly. Users should always follow the polarity diagram in the battery compartment and use only batteries of the same or equivalent type as recommended. It is crucial not to incinerate used batteries, dispose of them in fire, mix old and new batteries or different types (alkaline/standard), or attempt to recharge non-rechargeable batteries. Short-circuiting the supply terminals should also be avoided.

The device is designed to be durable, but proper placement and care, such as keeping it in a dry, clean area, will contribute to its longevity and accurate performance. In case of any issues, customer support is available, and users are encouraged to register their product online to receive a one-year warranty.
