Hard to find time zone button

Comment:
I recently received this unit as a gift. It is very nice looking, and it works well.
The only problem I had was figuring out how to change the time zone from Pacific time to Eastern time. The manual says to press the ZONE button. The manual neglects to say that the ZONE button is inside the battery compartment.

How to Disable the Alarm
|
Comment:
For instructions on how to disable the freeze alarm, see the link on http://www2.oregonscientific.com/shop/product.asp?cid=8&scid=5&pid=672. Short story is set it to Channel 2, it disables the, uh, feature.
Other'n that, a nice temperature gauge.

A Little Market Testing Would Have Helped

Comment:
The device works just fine, a little temp variance but its within acceptability for its price. The major design flaw has been discussed in the other comments, that it beeps every time the temperature changes if between 29 and 35-ish. That means if it goes from 29.4 to 29.6, it starts beeping. This means that for the four hours a day that it is between these temps (two in the morning and two at night), the stupid thing intermittently beeps. Sometimes for a full minute, sometimes for four seconds, but you never know whether its going to turn off by itself so maybe you walk all the way across the room only to have the alarm end before you touch the stop button.
I kept complaining at my boyfriend to turn the alarm setting off, and he kept insisting that there was nothing in the instructions to help, but finally we see on here that some users have discovered the secret of Channel 2. Meanwhile, the stupid thing has been driving me crazy for a week. So, lesson learned. Check with Amazon before blaming Jeremy the perfect boyfriend.

Oregon Scientific RMR382A-BK Wireless Indoor/Outdoor Thermometer with Self-Setting Atomic Clock, Black
This is convienent because I don't have to place it near a window or other access to outside; it's next to my easy chair & sometimes in the bedroom so as to know how to dress for the day
