Accessories

Great gadget, low price.
Exactly what I was looking for !!! Small, big numbers, up to three external sensors, and easy setup. And a very low price.

Tiny screws but a great deal - works perfect!

I read the reviews before buying this, but since I live in an area where freezing isn't that much of an issue (unless my ex is in the room) I decided that the price was a bargain.

First off you *CAN* use rechargeable batteries, just use the "pre-charged" low discharge NiMH AAA batteries. They still have the same freezing issues that standard NiMH have but the other eight months of the year you won't have to use the pricey batteries. (not that any of this has to do with this thermometer specifically)

Secondly, the screws on the back of the outdoor/radio unit are very small, and I'm not exactly sure why they felt the need to go that route but most any eyeglass repair kit that contains a Phillips head screwdriver should make short work of them.

Other than that, if you follow the very simple, well illustrated instruction, you should have no problems.

The range to the outdoor radio is listed at 100' if that matters.
(your mileage may vary)

impossibly screwy
is there a screw driver made which fits these screws on the sensor. by the time you get the cover off, you have stripped the screws, never to be used again. i guess i will use scotch tape from now on! forget this product and this manufacturer!!!

Nice, but imprecise
This is a nice little unit with remote temperature sensor. My only complaint is that the remote reading can be off by up to 2.5 degrees (high or low). Oregon Scientific says that's within their margin of error, but I don't think a 5 degree swing is acceptable with modern equipment. If you can live with that amount of imprecision in the temperature read-out, this unit is fine; otherwise, look elsewhere. Although I don't know for sure, other Oregon Scientific equipment might similarly be inaccurate. A little tricky to set up, but the instructions are clear enough.

Nothing wrong with Cold Alarm feature
Great product. Easy setup and worked easily out of the box by reading easy to follow directions. I think the review say the cold weather alarm being a flaw didn't read that it only applies to channel 1. I broadcast it on channel 3 and haven't had any issues. So far, it is the best atomic clock I've seen for less than 10 bucks.
