Step-by-Step Guide: How to Make a Digital Thermometer Silent

sup guys,

My story:
Between subbing and diluting, I myself did both - but with the large amount of posts saying "I came back dilute" and "they told me to retest ASAP", on the last day, I decided to go with Quick Fix 5.7. As most know, temperature is the #1 obstacle with subbing and 99.9% of the time, if you clear that, you're home free. So, it makes sense to invest in a digital thermometer and making it silent. This post is for those out there who couldn't find a silent thermometer and wouldn't want to bank their jobs on a little sticky tape stuck on the side of the plastic bottle.

Reasons to make it silent:
- So they can't hear you beeping in the bathroom

Materials Needed:
1. Electrical Tape
2. Box Cutter
3. Toothpick
4. Scissors
5. ReliOn Digital Thermometer
- note: you can find these at any Walmart. If you can't find this particular brand, see bottom section.

Step-by-Step:
*use the attached images to help you along your way*

Step 1: Open up the thermometer box and lay it on its front

Step 2: Flip the thermometer around and locate the space below the ID tag

Step 3: Use the box cutter to cut through the plastic back. This is the most difficult step, but shouldn't take more than 10-15 minutes. When it is sufficiently cut, wedge out the backing.

Step 4: Identify TWO black insulated wires. DO NOT touch the exposed copper wires beneath them. If you disconnect the copper wires, the thermometer WILL NOT WORK, and jesus will slap you. In the face.

Step 5: Use the toothpick to wedge out the two black wires.

Step 6: Use the scissors to cut the wires, and stuff them back into the thermometer with the toothpick.

Step 7: Use the electrical tape to wrap the hole up. Be careful not to let water (or you-know-what) seep in.

And you're done!! (:

SPECIAL STEP:
For those of you who can't find the ReliOn Digital Thermometer, the wires may not look like the ones I've shown, and the location of them might be different. See the attached image that distinguishes the sound box of the thermometer. All thermometers that beep have this thing; I recommend buying two, ripping one open, finding the sound box, and then proceed to repeat the above steps in the right location.

Alrite guys, I hope this helps you guys, happy tokin',

Hey, waitwhaaaat - thanks a bunch for the info. This was very cheap and easy to do! I had luck with the same ReliOn Thermometer, but the next model over- the 9 sec.flexible, water proof version for just a couple bucks more.. 9 bucks total I believe.. it was a little harder to jack than the standard ReliOn, but I just snipped the black and it silenced the speaker.. but the model I grabbed is SUPER fast. ...and while I was practicing, I accidentally dropped it in the water, and the waterproofing came in handy ;)

Ultimately, I learned if you take your last digital temperature reading just as you leave your car to go into the lab, and you're running about 98 deg.. it's more than safe to just leave the digital in the car, crotch the bottle without the heaters and the temp is good to hold for more than enough time to test.. that was my experience anyway. For peace of mind though, just having the silent digital on hand can't be beat and the tip was really appreciated. Thanks
