What to know before buying

Listing details to confirm

The listing gives conflicting or inconsistent details for included contents and battery information: one contents list includes a sensor, lanyard loop and manual, while another only identifies a lanyard loop. It states that three AA batteries are included but also says to use 1.5V AA alkaline batteries, and a separate field calls the device rechargeable. Confirm the selected listing's contents and power requirements before buying. The displayed upper temperature rating also differs from the stated measurement range, so do not treat those figures as interchangeable. Wi-Fi is specified as 2.4G only.
