AcuRite 24” 75022M Illuminated LED Large Outdoor Decorative Clock
Introduction
The 24″ Illuminated Outdoor Clock with Thermometer and Humidity Sensor from AcuRite offers both aesthetic appeal and usefulness, day or night. It has an embedded light sensor that turns on a cosy, ambient backlight when it becomes dark outside. This works well as a utilitarian addition to any patio or garden thanks to its sturdy all-weather construction. It is ideal for indoor décor thanks to its chic, modern style. Additionally, it has a dependable quartz crystal movement, precise humidity and temperature sensors, and legible Roman numerals. The humidity sensor provides measurements between 1% and 99% relative humidity, while the thermometer registers temperatures between 0 and 100 degrees Fahrenheit. An instruction manual and an integrated hang hole are both included with this clock for simple wall hanging.
The clock needs one (1) AA alkaline or lithium battery, while the backlight needs four (4) D alkaline batteries (not included). Lithium batteries are advised for use in below -4°F/-20°C conditions. Limited guarantee of one year.

Thermometer & Hygrometer Calibration
The thermometer and hygrometer instruments have been calibrated at the factory and should not need adjustment. However, as with all instruments that are placed in a new location, you should always allow a period of at least 3 hours for stabilization before determining whether it is reading accurately. Should you determine that an adjustment of the thermometer or hygrometer is needed, this can be achieved by gently rotating the back of the thermometer or hygrometer movement on the back of the unit, as illustrated, slowly in either direction until the correct reading is shown on the dial.
Placement for Maximum Accuracy
Accuracy AcuRite products are sensitive to surrounding environmental conditions. Proper placement of both the display unit and the sensor are critical to the accuracy and performance of this product.
DO NOT HANG IN DIRECT SUNLIGHT
For the most accurate temperature readings choose a location that will not be exposed to direct sunlight or other direct heat sources.
LOCATE AWAY FROM HEAT SOURCES
Position clock away from heaters, air conditioners, chimneys, exhaust vents, asphalt and concrete (surfaces that radiate heat).
LOCATE AWAY FROM HUMIDITY SOURCES
Avoid installing the clock near pools, spas, or other bodies of water. Water sources may impact humidity accuracy.

FAQs
it is powered by four D batteries
This clock is not an Atomic clock. The time will need to be adjusted manually.
It was black. However, I sent two of them back because they quit telling time. It was a beautiful clock. I thought that maybe the first clock had a bad movement, but the replacement clock had the same issue. Brand new batteries didn’t fix either of them. I don’t recommend.
I purchased this clock for outdoor use by our pool. I got it late spring and I have not replaced the batteries yet. Runs great, looks great and is holding up well in the weather.
You may hear a soft ticking noise from the movement of the clock mechanism. Otherwise, this clock does not make any other sounds.
I understand your concern. As a buyer of MANY large outside clocks only to be disappointed – the hands always end up pointing at 6:30, this clock is still working.
Mounting screws are not included with this clock.
No, the white face plat will discolor and turn brown in direct sunlight. The sun is very powerful you know?
Yes!
This clock will weigh about 12 pounds.
The clock doesn’t come with batteries, you have to buy some. There are 2 places for batteries., the first you need C batteries for the back light and the other place is for the clock itself. I think those wetr AA.
This clock is weather-resistant but not waterproof. We recommend mounting the clock out of direct sunlight and rainfall for the greatest accuracy and life expectancy.
The light should stay on either for 4 hours with the appropriate setting or come on when dark when it is on the “always on” setting. To make sure that it isn’t in a place that may be getting to much artificial light I would bring the clock inside a dark room and see if it stays on for more then a few seconds.
We have had ours for about a year now and no trouble with the temperature and humidity dials not working.
I used mine indoors and it was beautiful. However, it stopped working within days of hanging it up. I switched batteries and tried again. It would work for a day or two, then stop. I returned and ordered another of the same clock. The same thing happened. I returned that one as well. I’m thinking these clocks have bad movements in them. I don’t know how else to explain it.
