Remove the battery door on the back of the sensor with a Philips screwdriver (there is only one screw,

at the bottom of the unit). Insert two AAA batteries as shown in Figure 1 (we recommend lithium

batteries for cold weather climates, but alkaline batteries are sufficient for most climates).

display. Looking at the back of the unit from left to right, the polarity is (-) (+) for the top battery and

(+) (-) for the bottom battery.
