This review is from: Oregon Scientific RMR682A Wireless Indoor/Outdoor Thermometer with Self-Setting Atomic Clock (Kitchen)
Okay i ordered this item a few weeks ago and i love it, now i do agree that the issue with the freeze warning is annoying, whenever the item comes down to 37 degrees F it will beep, but if you do the simple thing that i will describe it will not do that.
Okay this item has three channels, only the first channel sets off the alarm. so if you put the switch on the outdoor unit to channel 2 or 3 then press the reset button, then tell the recieving unit that it will be looking for something on channel 2 or 3 (press and hold channel and Memory). this will take care of it. now about the batteries, yes if your outdoor unit will be in temperatures under -4 degrees you will need lithium ion batteries, if you go to the store a pack of four (you only need two for the outdoor unit) costs about 2 dollars more than a regular batteries and they last longer and go last all the way down till -40 degrees. Atomic clock, mine would not connect at first, so i walked outside and told it to search again, then after about a minute it found it and i brought it inside and it works great. Enjoy the product, i love it

This review is from: Oregon Scientific RMR682A Wireless Indoor/Outdoor Thermometer with Self-Setting Atomic Clock (Kitchen)
I needed a replacement for my old-fashioned mercury style outdoor thermometer after it got broken. I thought it would be cool to have a digital thermometer that would warn me when the temperature dropped down below 15 degrees F, so I could leave faucets running to avoid frozen pipes. So, I bought this thermometer. The first one I got was defective (it read 5 F too high) and I returned it. The second one was accurate, but I noticed that it is relatively slow to respond to rapid temperature changes compared to a conventional style mercury thermometer.
What I like about it: The style is simple and elegant, the diplay is easy to read at a distance, the clock sets itself quickly and accurately, and the reception from the remote unit is reliable. Now for the bad part. Whoever designed the temperature warning features should be fired! A loud beeping alarm will go off anytime the remote temperature unit senses a temperature from 28 F to 37 F, and there is no way to turn this alarm function off! I tried setting the high and low temperature alarms to see if that would override the default and it does not. This renders the unit useless as a temperature warning device! Dumb! I decided to keep it anyway - just as a mere thermometer without any alarms. Here is how to do it: There is no need to take anything apart or cut any wires. You just have to open up the remote unit and move the small switch to channel 2 or 3 and press the reset button with the end of a paper clip. This is because the default channel 1 is the channel that sets off the alarms.

OK But with a Serious Design Issue,
This review is from: Oregon Scientific RMR682A Wireless Indoor/Outdoor Thermometer with Self-Setting Atomic Clock (Kitchen)
This is in most respects a nice unit. It's pleasant enough to look at and the numerals are legible. The radio-corrected time is a nice feature. But you should be aware of two issues: (1) The remote unit is battery powered and alkaline batteries freeze. You will have to use rather expensive lithium batteries in the remote unit during the months in which you have freezing temperatures. (2) The main unit warns you about this issue by beeping whenever the temperature goes into the range of 37-28 degrees F. If the main unit is in a sleeping area this will drive you crazy. There is no way to stop this except to open it up and cut the wire to the speaker. This disables the alarm for all purposes, but that didn't matter to me.
