How do I lock the thermometer to Fahrenheit? The instructions indicate changing a clip inside of the battery compartment but the clip is not there.

Take off the end without the clip and there is a small slid compartment on the back. The battery is under there. Just one "AAA".

Press and hold the up and down temp at same time for 3 seconds. That will unlock the temp and you can then change it up or down. :)

if you look at the top of the clear plastic you will see 2 lock symbols-twist the top to the open lock symbol and twist the top piece off. There are 2 white clips that you squeeze together and that insert will pull out...this is where the batteries go...hope this helps!!

Like Jot said, there is a small compartment that holds the two AA batteries. I sometimes have trouble getting it to slide out. Try applying some downward pressure while pulling on it. Another thing would be the pin. There is a lockout pin that came with the detector that is designed to keep the battery compartment from being opened. If it is in it, you would need to remove it before the compartment is opened. I don't use the pins myself because I change the batteries twice a year.

Make sure you pull out the clear plastic strip if there is one hanging out of the battery compartment. That keeps the batteries from being in contact with the unit while shipping. There is a sliding on/off switch on the side. Slide it on. On bottom, choose and set whether you want to read in Celsius or F. On top, choose and set whether you want a temperature beep (temp alert) when it gets to target temp. Left two buttons you set the time in hours and minutes. Right two buttons you adjust up or down your target temp. Bottom button starts or stops unit. Hope this helps, also you can always call kitchenaid help line. : )

I have used it only once and I had the same problem. I think you have to lock the temperature and I guess I did not do it. Try locking the temperature

I can now answer my own question. I bought this thermometer soon after posting this and it has the CR2032 battery. I use it frequently and keep forgetting to turn it off, but have not had to change the battery. This is a great item.Thank you, everyone, for your help.

Open battery compartment and remove the batteries. °C / °F switch is accessible in the center of the battery compartment. Slide switch to °C or °F to set preferred temperature scale. Replace the batteries and close the battery door.

(1) Hold device steady with one hand, then grip the clear dust/lint compartment and slide it "down" (away from the cutter head). (2) Now notice the battery compartment cover (little images of batteries when you look closely. This battery compartment cover has a small tab on its left side. (3) With just a little gentle force (perhaps using an index finger or a SMALL screwdriver), just push the tab ever so slightly away from the edge (towards the center) and the battery compartment cover should easily come off. (4) Insert four size-C batteries with correct polarity (as indicated on the battery compartment cover) and replace battery cover and slide dust/lint compartment back into place.

I believe you have the thermometer reading in Celcius instead of Fahrenheit. Check the upper right hand corner to See if there is a C of F displayed. To change the scale, When you turn on the unit hold done the button until you see the hourglass. The thermometer will change.

Sorry I missed your question earlier. There is a hole in the cover and the thermometer slides in, held in place by a form that is part of the cover itself.

You have to grab the end and pull while pressing down on the little yellow lock tab in the pocket clip. You can also use pliers to squeeze it while sliding the cover back. It is not easy that's for sure. Two triple A batteries are required.

My thermometer stuck on the same temperature but I discovered that changing the battery fixed it. The battery does not last as long as claimed but is adequate. I have not used it to measure air temperature but it does respond slowly and I would think it would even be slower when trying to measure air temperature.

Go by the battery that came with the product. Had mine since 7/6/2010 and now working on a 3rd battery (helps to turn it off when you're done). I have the RT600C-N thermometer, which is the same as the Amazon add. Original battery was an A76/LR4 (make unknown), replaced with a Duracell D357 and now replacing that with an Energizer A76. If you google the number from the original battery, you should be able to come up with a description of the battery, which many times includes a flock of equivalent numbers that it can replace. In the info I found, A76 and D357 are listed as replacements for each other, but not CR2032. Also CR2032 replacements don't include A78 or D357. Hope this helps.

Check the manual. If you no longer can find it go to http://luxproducts.com/support/TX500E_ENG_Manual121409.pdf On the first page, in the second column you find information about three small switches. They are on the backside or inside of the unit. One of the three switches lets you switch between Celsius and Fahrenheit. Good luck!
