OPErATINg PrOCEdurE

This meter can be supplied with batteries or DC 9V 1.
AC Adaptor. If using batteries:

Remove the rear cover, and install batteries, pay
attention to the polarity of battery socket. If using 9V

Adaptor, make sure that it is in good connection to
the Adaptor socket of the meter. Choose the K-type
temperature probe for your application and insert it
into T2 the temperature probe socket. Insert Humid­ity/Temperature (T1) probe into T1 the meter socket.
Press the 2.

button to power on the meter, the current
date and time will display about 3 seconds. If “---“ ap­pears, it indicates no probe or the probe is broken.
T1 indicates room temperature, T2 indicates K-type 3.
thermocouple test value.
Printing date:4.
Press [PRINT] one time to print one set date.
If need continuous printing, press and hold down
PRINT button, until LCD display “INTV” mark and
enter continuous interval printing mode, the printer will
