you do, be sure the + side is up. To remove the batteries, use a small metal (pointed) tool like a
screw driver or straightened paper clip (sorry, not included).
C) At this point you should see the indoor temperature and humidity as well as the outdoor
temperature. Please note due to variances in electronic components, the two temperatures may
not be exactly the same (+/- 1C even though the probe is indoors at the moment). Showing as
well will be the clock (12:00), month (1), date (1) and day (TU).

Press & hold “set” button for 3 seconds

That’s it! If you did that on the first try, congratulations – you’re a programming expert.
At this point you may wish to place the unit where you plan to keep it on a regular basis.
Obviously in order to obtain an outdoor temperature the probe needs to be outside. It’s best to
hang it out a window that is not affected by direct sunlight. You may of course use it as well to
monitor the temperature of a refrigerator, freezer or even an aquarium.
Be sure to keep these instructions as you will need them again when you replace the batteries as
well as for all the other features/benefits of this HOME® brand TempMinder®.
Reading the Minimum and Maximum History:
After a certain period of time (overnight, a day, week, month, etc) you can see the highest and

indoor humidity for the period (since last cleared).

return to the normal display mode. If/when you actually use the alarm with snooze, the snooze will
function every 5 minutes and will repeat 3 times. This is the factory default setting for the snooze
function. If you would like to change these settings, read on. If you are happy with the 3 times every
5 minutes, then skip to “Alarm and Snooze Controls #4)” below.
