Why does my AcuRite Thermometer have no outdoor sensor reception?
- KKaitlyn ConradJul 31, 2025
If your AcuRite Thermometer shows no bars for outdoor sensor reception, try the following: First, relocate the display unit and/or the outdoor sensor, ensuring they are within 330 ft (100 m) of each other. Next, ensure both units are at least 3 feet (.9m) away from electronics that may interfere with wireless communication, such as TVs, microwaves, and computers. Use standard alkaline batteries (or lithium batteries in the sensor when the temperature is below -4ºF/-20ºC), and avoid heavy-duty or rechargeable batteries. Note that it may take up to 20 minutes for the display unit and sensor to synchronize after batteries are replaced.
