1. SNOOZE
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).

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).

To toggle alarms ON / OFF:
1. Press ALARM to display alarm time.
2. Press ALARM again to turn alarm ON / OFF.
