Operating Instructions

INSTRUMENT OPERATION - The
instrument is switched on by unfolding
the probe until the display shows the
temperature. The unit is turned off
by folding the probe back into the
rubber probe retainer. The probe
should not be rotated more than 180
degrees as damage will occur. It is
recommended to store the probe, in
the closed position, when not in use.

Apply the tip of the probe to the substance, surface or area to be
measured. The probe should be allowed adequate time to stabilise
to the temperature of the item to be measured.

INSTRUMENT CONFIGURATION

- This instrument has four
user selectable slide switches
(switch bank), adjustable with a
paperclip, and a single push
button 'Trim Adjust' which is
located under the battery cover.

Switch 1 - Not used

Switch 2 - Resolution To change the resolution from 0.1 °C

(factory default) to 1 °C push the switch
away from the batteries.

Switch 3 - Auto-off To disable the auto-off (factory default

- 10 minutes) push the switch away
from the batteries.

Switch 4 - Reading Trim For normal use, we do not recommend

using the 'Trim Adjust'. For further

INSTRUMENT CLEANING - Clean the instrument regularly with an
anti-bacterial probe wipe to avoid potential food-borne bacteria
growth.

BATTERY REPLACEMENT - A battery
symbol indicates that the batteries
will need replacing. The instrument
continues to measure accurately but
we recommend that the batteries
be changed as soon as possible. To
replace the batteries, remove the
battery cover using a coin. Remove the
batteries by pulling the battery retaining
clip back whilst holding the unit upside
down. Replace both batteries, positive side up, replace cover.

ERROR MESSAGES - 'Lo' will be displayed if you are measuring below
the instrument's range. 'Hi' will be displayed if you are measuring above
the instrument's range. 'Err' will be displayed if the probe develops a
fault. If the error message remains, contact our service department
for further assistance.

EMC/RFI - Instrument performance may be affected if operated
within a high frequency radio field, such as near a mobile phone, or
if subjected to an electrostatic shock.
