Standard Alkaline batteries contain significant amounts of
water. Because of this they will freeze in low temperatures
of approximately -12°C (10°F). Disposable Lithium batteries
have a much lower threshold for temperature with an
estimated freezing range of below -30°C (-22°F).
To silence the alarm:
•
Press SNOOZE to silence it for 8 minutes.
OR
Press any key except SNOOZE to turn the alarm off
and activate it again after 24 hours.

Wireless ranges can be impacted by a variety of factors
such as extremely cold temperatures. Extreme cold may
temporarily reduce the effective range between the sensor
and the base station. If the unit's performance fails due to
low temperature, the unit will resume proper functioning
as the temperature rises to within the normal temperature
range (i.e. no permanent damage will occur to the unit due
to low temperatures).

REMOTE SENSOR
The clock collects the radio signals whenever it is within
3219 km (2000 miles) of a signal.
The sensor collects temperature readings approx. every
40 seconds and sends them to the main unit. The main
unit can collect data from up to 3 sensors.
To clear the records:
Press and hold MEM for 2 seconds.
