Use as a household thermometer (scan mode)
The thermometer can also be used in the house for
non-contact temperature measurements in the range of
–22.0 °C - 80.0 °C (–7.6 °F - 176.0 °F).
Attention! Do not use this mode for measuring
body temperature.
– With this measurement, the current surface temperature
of the object is displayed. It can be diff erent from its
internal temperature, especially if the surface is exposed
to direct sunlight or a draught!
Due to its design, the thermometer measures the precise
value when its casing has adjusted to room temperature.
That is why you should not hold it in the hand for a
long time when you want to take a measurement and
why you should keep it away from direct sunlight!
Do not use the appliance immediately after cleaning
the measuring head
. The evaporative cooling eff ect
1
of the detergent may falsify the measuring result.
Sample applications:
- The temperature of milk in baby bottles
- The temperature of bathwater

Cleaning and care
The device reminds you to clean the measuring sensor after taking several temperature measurements. When this
occurs, the cleaning symbol
and acoustic signals are heard. In order to avoid con-

appears in the LC display
20
tamination with germs, the lens has to be rubbed after
every use with a soft cloth that has been moistened with
70% medical alcohol. The use of hygiene attachments is,
therefore, not necessary. After that, wait for at least
30 minutes before taking another measurement. Please
keep in mind that due to the evaporative cooling eff ect of
the alcohol, even the smallest amounts can falsify the result.
Clean the housing with a soft, slightly damp cloth. In the
case of more severe soiling a mild detergent can also be
added to the water.Keep the appliance in a dry environment and protect from direct sunlight. The appliance can
be stored at temperatures of –10.0 °C - 55.0 °C
(14.0 °F - 131.0 °F). Temperatures over 80.0 °C are to
be avoided! In order to measure with it, however, it is necessary to let the appliance adjust to room temperature for
a suffi cient length of time - otherwise an error message
will be generated (see “Functions / Fault Analysis - Correction of Problems”). A room temperature of 5.0°C - 59.9°C
(41.0°F - 139.8°F) should also be maintained for the purposes of measurement. If the temperature is outside this
range, an error message is shown (see “Functions / Fault
Analysis - Correction of Problems”).
Remove the battery when not using the appliance for any
length of time.
