cause alkaline batteries to function

improperly. Use lithium batteries in

the 5-in-1 sensor for temperatures

below -4ºF/-20ºC.

1. Slide off the battery

compartment cover.

2. Insert 4 x AA batteries into the

battery compartment, as
shown. Follow the polarity
(+/-) diagram in the battery

compartment.

3. Replace the battery cover.
