First off you *CAN* use rechargeable batteries, just use the 'pre-charged' low discharge NiMH AAA batteries. They still have the same freezing issues that standard NiMH have but the other eight months of the year you won't have to use the pricey batteries. (not that any of this has to do with this thermometer specifically)
Secondly, the screws on the back of the outdoor/radio unit are very small, and I'm not exactly sure why they felt the need to go that route but most any eyeglass repair kit that contains a Phillips head screwdriver should make short work of them.
Other than that, if you follow the very simple, well illustrated instruction, you should have no problems.
The range to the outdoor radio is listed at 100' if that matters.
