Oven does not have a temperature notification sound
Oven is in new condition, however about 10 yeqrs old. The oven does not have a signal to let you know when desired temperature has been reached. Mfg. suggested using an oven thermometer probe. A probe attached to a wire that goes inside oven connected to a wire and to a battery operated control unit outside of oven. My question, is than an alternative to this method? Thank you

Oven temperatures vary depending on insulation and, the big, how often you open the door. I would recommend using the described 'remote' thermometer or an oven thermometer positioned where it can be read through the glass in the door (assuming that would be possible). Set you oven to it's highest setting and time how long it takes to reach that temperature. Once you know how long it takes to reach 'max' use a timer that will give you the audible cue you are seeking at that length of time, regardless of what temperature you may be using at that time. If you want your oven a 325°F and it takes 10 minutes to get to 500°F...it will 'safely' be at 325°F in 10 minutes, once you test it, trust it. Baking rarely requires such an exact temperature control that the variance created would be problematic.
Extending the pre-heat time for your oven is not a bad thing, indeed it helps with the recovery time that it takes to return to the set temp after being opened and closed.

Do all ovens beep when preheated?
Most ovens these days not only beep, but they also display the climbing temperature so you can watch right down to the second when your oven is 'preheated'. But guess what, y'all. That temperature and beeping is signaling that the actual coil inside is heated to the desired temperature.How do I know if my oven has preheated?
Hang an oven thermometer in the center of the middle rack and preheat the oven to 350\u02daF (176.67\u02daC). Allow the oven to preheat for at least 20 minutes and take a temperature reading. This will tell you if the oven is even reaching the desired temperature from the beginning.How can I check the temperature of my oven?
Fix: Preheat the oven and do a quick visual test to see if the heating elements are fully glowing red and check that the temperature sensor's resistance is rising with the temperature of the oven. If either are not working as they should, replace them.Oven Temperature Incorrect — Electric Range Troubleshooting
