Page 11: Battery Notes
Hints and Tips • Wireless ranges can be impacted by a variety of factors, such as extremely cold temperatures. • If the forecaster’s performance is affected by extremely low temperatures, proper functioning will resume as the temperature rises to within the normal temperature range. • If the temperature on your remote sensor does not match the one on your forecaster, press and hold MODE and < simultaneously to retrieve the signal again. If you still do not receive a signal, check the batteries and obstructions. Also try resetting both the forecaster and the sensor. • Signals from household devices such as electronic garage doors and home security systems may cause temporary interference. Battery Notes • Dispose of batteries promptly and properly. Do not burn or bury them. Do not puncture or crush. Do not disassemble. • Use only fresh batteries of the required size and type. • Do not mix old and new batteries, different types of batteries (standard, alkaline, or rechargeable), or rechargeable batteries of different capacities. • If you do not plan to use the forecaster for an extended time, remove the batteries. Batteries can leak chemicals that can damage electronic parts. Lithium Batteries • Do not dispose of lithium batteries in the trash. Recycle at your local RadioShack store. -
Page 12: Care And Maintenance
• Never allow loose cells to short circuit against battery tabs or other conductive items. Keep loose cells and battery packs out of reach of children. • If the electrolyte in the cells should get on your skin, thoroughly wash with soap and water. If in the eyes, rinse thoroughly with cool water. Immediately seek medical attention. Care and Maintenance • Keep the forecaster dry. If it gets wet, wipe it dry immediately. • Use and store the forecaster only in temperature environments above 23°F (–5°C). • Never submerge the product in water. This can cause electrical shock and damage the product. • Do not subject the forecaster to extreme force, shock, or fluctuations in temperature or humidity. • Do not tamper with internal components.
