How to Set an Oregon Scientific Thermometer

Setting Up the Thermometer

Remove the battery door, located on the back of the unit.

Step 2

Insert two new AAA batteries in the battery compartment, matching up the batteries' plus and minus signs with the battery compartments.

Step 3

Press the "Reset" button just above the batteries, and then select Celsius or Fahrenheit temperature readouts by sliding the adjacent switch to either "C" or "F."

Step 4

Replace the battery door.
