TEMPERATURE ALARM

When the temperature on the display matches or is outs ide of the high or low r ange setting s , the alarm will sound for 1 minute and t he c or r es ponding HI or LO ind ic ator will flash. The HI or LO indicator will continue flash ing after 1 minut e unt il a button is pressed . To silence a sound ing alarm, press any button. Note: Switc hing between Thermom eter and Timer modes will not affect Hig h or Low Temperature Alarms. If unit is in Timer mode when a High or Low Temperat ure Alarm activates , alarm wi ll sound and HI or LO indic ator will flash on display.

ALL OPERATI O NAL DIFFICULTIES

If this thermom eter does not f unc tion properly for an y reason, please replace the batter y w ith a new high quality batt ery (see “Batt ery R eplacement ” section). Low battery power can occasionally cause any number of “a ppar ent” operational difficulties. Replacing the battery with a new fresh battery will so lve mos t difficulties.

BATTERY REPLACEMENT

Erratic readings, a faint alarm, no alarm, a faint display, or no display are all indicator s t hat the battery must be replaced. T o r eplac e the battery, open the battery compar tment door loc at ed on the back of the unit ( s ee Fig. 2). Remove the exhausted battery and replace it with a new AAA alkaline 1.5 vo lt battery.
