  • Page 7: Installing Batteries

    INSTALLING BATTERIES Your thermometer system requires four AA batteries (not supplied) for power — two each for the main unit and the remote sensor. For the best performance and longest life, we recommend RadioShack alkaline batteries. Cautions: • Use only fresh batteries of the required size and recommended type.

  • Page 8: In The Remote Sensor

    Notes: • If you use the remote sensor in tem- peratures below –4°F (–20° C), we recommend you use lithium batteries in the remote sensor. • Install batteries in the remote sensor first, then in the main unit, to give the main unit time to find the remote sensor’s signal.
