INSTALLING BATTERIES
Your thermometer requires two AAA batteries (not supplied) for power. For the
best performance and longest life, we
recommend RadioShack alkaline batteries.
Cautions:
• Use only fresh batteries of the
required size and recommended
type.
• Do not mix old and new batteries,
different types of batteries (standard,
alkaline, or rechargeable), or
rechargeable batteries of different
capacities.

Warning:

If you do not plan to use the
thermometer for a month or more, remove the batteries. Batteries can leak
chemicals that can destroy electronic
parts.

Note:
If the thermometer does not operate after you install the batteries, simply
remove and re-install them.
MOUNTING
You can place the thermometer on a flat
surface, or mount it on the wall using the
supplied screw. For measuring the outside temperature, the thermometer’s sensor cord extends up to 9.8 feet (3
meters). You can easily mount the sensor
to a flat surface on an outside location
(such as a window) by using the supplied
suction cup.
Selecting a Location
Choose a location indoors near a window
through which you can route the remote
sensor cord outside.
