ALL OPERATIONAL DIFFICULTIES

If this thermometer does not function properly for any reason, please properly replace the
battery with a new 9V battery (see Battery section, below). Low battery power can oc­casionally cause any number of “apparent” operational diffi culties. Replacing the battery
with a new fresh battery will solve most diffi culties.

BATTERY REPLACEMENT

When appears on the display, erratic readings appear, there is a faint display
or no display–these are all indicators that the battery is low and needs to be replaced. To
replace the battery, remove the battery cover located on the back of the unit (8, Fig. 1)
by using a coin to slide the cover away from the unit. Insert a new 9V battery (alkaline).
Incorrectly installed batteries may damage electronics. Replace the battery cover.
