Is the display continuously on when the thermometer is in the freezer? I can't read the termperature without taking thermometer out.

Display is always on. Location of thermometer (in-refrig, outside-refrig) does not control disply ON/OFF state

I stored it in the house until we had deer to weigh. I have not left it in freezing temps as I have ruined digital displays before by freezing them , although these new displays could be entirely safe in cold temps.

No, but I've never had problems reading the display. I use this for brewing, grilling and baking, and even in partial light, it's still clear and readable.

Answer.I believe that the heat will still come on to what ever it was set at, you just won't see anything in the display?

It's just a thermometer. Once you've checked the temperature just turn it off then back on when you need to do it again. :)

Yes that is normal.. they are thermostats so they only turn on when its cold.. I had mine in negative 27 last year and it never froze..

Thanks for your response. I was having trouble picking up the temp from the base. I think the batteries were low (duh.. pretty obvious..). I put in new batteries on both units, repeated the sequence a couple of times and... voilà! I think I've got the hang of it now. A handy little device.

We only have ours hooked up to the freezer, I assume you would need to buy another unit!

Yes it does show the current temperature, the target temperature can be adjusted depending on what you want. The second you turn on the machine it's cold. The lowest temperature reading on the unit is 61 degrees. It's quite chilly if you let it run for about 1 hour. The room will freeze.

I am unable to tell you what the current draw is. There isn't a separate refrigerator or freezer mode it just depends on how cold you set the temperature. Some real life examples with the contents already frozen and the temp set at zero I was able to leave the unit (not running) for up to 3 hours in 80 degree temps and not have more that a 10 degree rise in temp. The unit worked great on my 3 month trip around the USA and will be using it on all further trips.

Both, the constant display is for the thermostat setting, but you can hold down the "temp up" botton for 3 seconds (or so) and it will display the room tempature for just a moment.

The unit will display the max and min temps it will not record day and times. If you see the max temp on the freezer was 45deg and the present temp is 0 then the items in the freezer were refrozen. The same fill be true forthe fridge. This condition would probably happen during a power outage. Hope this helps.

It displays the actual temperature, you don't see the temperature preset unless you go to the program setting mode. Just remember, it only displays celcius. I have another thermometer in my cooler that displays the temperature in farenheit. It was a fun project to wire and set up. I am a complete novice with electrical circuits, but a fairly handy person.

How many months you got? My experience with this device is unhappy and I am still waiting for the alarm to go off. I trusted this thing and it read 2 degrees below zero all week, come saturday I went shopping and got some frozen food, went to put it in freezer and it was like a sauna in there...been that way all week. I went and checked the readout on the monitor and it still insisted that my freezer was 2 below zero. I junked the freezer and am stuck with the monitor.

The on/off will not turn the display off on mine either, maybe by design, not sure. However it does turn itself off in a couple of minutes of no use.

I should have added that I bought a freezer thermometer to keep inside and see how cold it was - worked great. They should at least include a thermometer that is readable from outside to avoid opening up to see if it is working - and letting hot air in / cold air out.

Previous answers are correct. Enjoy the machine. I like mine and set it on timer. The display is bright and easy to read.
