Digital Thermometer question

[MBrian]

Hi, i was just wondering if this Thermometer would be ok to use. I ask because it doesnt look like the same one at Wal-Mart that so many people suggest to get but this one does have a "probe". thanks.

Heres the link:

OK silly Question and not sure if anyone else has ran into same thing. These thermometers have an In &Out button, which means In for Indoors and Out for Outdoors. Well If I select In the temp is WAY wrong, If I select Out then the temp is right. I placed the probe on the basking spot and it was showing in the high 70's, I switched it to Out and it showed the basking spot as 104. I double checked with a total different digital that did not have the In\Out feature and the temp showed as 109. I was told that they will probably be a little off. But be carefull with the In\Out feature.
