How do I set the time and date on my AcuRite 754 thermometer?

[Kyle]

Setting the time and date on your AcuRite 754 Wireless Digital Thermometer is straightforward. Here's how:

1. Enter Setup Mode: Press and hold the "SET" button on the display unit for about 3 seconds. The first setting option will begin to blink.
2. Adjust Settings: Use the "▲" (up arrow) or "▼" (down arrow) buttons to change the blinking value. Press briefly for small increments or hold for faster adjustments.
3. Confirm and Move to the Next Setting: Press and release the "SET" button to save your current setting and proceed to the next one.
4. Follow the Setting Order:
   • TIME ZONE: Select your time zone (e.g., PST, MST, CST, EST, AST, HAST, AKST).
   • DST (Daylight Saving Time): Choose "ON" if your area observes Daylight Saving Time, even if it's not currently in effect.
   • CLOCK HOUR: Set the current hour.
   • CLOCK MINUTE: Set the current minute.
   • CALENDAR MONTH: Set the current month.
   • CALENDAR DATE: Set the current date.
   • CALENDAR YEAR: Set the current year.
   • TEMPERATURE UNITS: Choose between Fahrenheit (ºF) or Celsius (ºC).
5. Exit Setup: After setting the temperature units, the time and date will be displayed, and you'll exit the setup mode. The device will automatically exit setup mode if no buttons are pressed for 30 seconds. You can re-enter setup mode at any time by pressing the "SET" button.
