Battery Choice & Temperature Range
NOTE: Install all batteries in both units within a 6 minute period to ensure proper
wireless functionality. Always install batteries into the wireless sensor FIRST.
Extended periods of cold temperatures ( below -4ºF / -20ºC ) can cause alkaline
batteries to function improperly. This will cause the outdoor wireless sensor to stop
transmitting temperature readings. Use lithium batteries in these low temperature
conditions to ensure continued operation for wireless sensors placed outdoors. NOTE:
Rechargeable batteries are not recommended due to higher operating voltages.
