Getting Started:

A) The numbers will not change unless you remove the static label covering the front display as

well as the clear plastic insulation strip sticking out the back of the unit. The insulation strip
was inserted so that the batteries did not drain prior to you taking it home!

B) So, remove the strip. If the unit does not immediately “BEEP”, remove the battery cover and

press on both batteries. This will confirm their proper installation and connection. Replace the
battery cover. In a year or so, you’ll need to replace the two LR1130/AG10 button cells. When

you do, be sure the + side is up. To remove the batteries, use a small metal (pointed) tool like a
screw driver or straightened paper clip (sorry, not included).

C) At this point you should see the indoor temperature and humidity as well as the outdoor

temperature. Please note due to variances in electronic components, the two temperatures may
not be exactly the same (+/- 1C even though the probe is indoors at the moment). Showing as
well will be the clock (12:00), month (1), date (1) and day (TU).

D) Setting the Time;

 Press & hold “set” button for 3 seconds
 Press “up” button to select 12hr or 24hr mode
 Press “set” to confirm
 Hour will flash – press “up” or “down” to reach the desired hour
 Press “set” to confirm
 Minutes will flash – press “up” or “down” to reach the desired minute
 Press “set” to confirm
 Year (2008) will flash. Press “up” or “down” for current year
 Press “set” to confirm
 Month will flash – press “up” or “down” for current month
 Date will flash – press “up” or “down” for current date
 DST will flash “OFF”. Leave it there (more on DST below)

Press the “Mode” button or wait 30 seconds and you are done.
That’s it! If you did that on the first try, congratulations – you’re a programming expert.

At this point you may wish to place the unit where you plan to keep it on a regular basis.
Obviously in order to obtain an outdoor temperature the probe needs to be outside. It’s best to
hang it out a window that is not affected by direct sunlight. You may of course use it as well to
monitor the temperature of a refrigerator, freezer or even an aquarium.

Be sure to keep these instructions as you will need them again when you replace the batteries as
well as for all the other features/benefits of this HOME® brand TempMinder®.

Reading the Minimum and Maximum History:

After a certain period of time (overnight, a day, week, month, etc) you can see the highest and

lowest temperatures as well as the humidity attained during that period.

- Press the “UP” button to see the Maximum indoor and outdoor temperatures as well as the
indoor humidity for the period (since last cleared).

- Press it again and you will see the minimums

- Press it again to return to the normal display (or wait 30 seconds)

- To CLEAR the memories (and start a new period), press and hold the “UP” button when the unit
is displaying the Maximum and Minimum histories

Alarm Time & Alarm “Tune” Setting:

1) Press MODE button once to enter Alarm Time setting mode. The “ALARM” icon appears and the

time shows 12:00.

2) Press and hold SET key for 3 seconds. Press the UP /DOWN key to adjust the hour and minute
pressing the SET key to confirm each number.

3) Next, the number in right corner of the 4th LCD will flash. Press the UP/DOWN key to select the
“tune” you would like to hear (7 choices – FYI #6 is Happy B’day!!). Press SET key to confirm.

4) You will now see a “05” flashing. We suggest at this point you simply wait 30 seconds for the unit to
return to the normal display mode. If/when you actually use the alarm with snooze, the snooze will
function every 5 minutes and will repeat 3 times. This is the factory default setting for the snooze
function. If you would like to change these settings, read on. If you are happy with the 3 times every
5 minutes, then skip to “Alarm and Snooze Controls #4)” below.
