TMD 2.0 Buttons
Button
Description
Starts the temperature scan if not in Timer mode. In timer mode it
increments the set value for the countdown timer.
Used to toggle between °F and °C when not in Timer mode. In timer
mode it decrements the set value for the countdown timer.
This button turns the TMD 2.0 On or Off. It also changes the data
collection modes between: Insertion Probe → IR → RFID. Each time
you touch the button the mode changes.
