The Base Station is supplied with 1 rechargeable
battery pack. To make use of the charging function
place the rechargeable battery pack in the battery
compartment of the thermometer.
While other rechargeable batteries can be used in the
thermometer, we do not recommend it as they can
not be recharged in the Base Station.
To protect the environment, dispose of
empty batteries according to national or
local regulations.
Connecting
Connect the station with the mains only via the low
voltage adapter. The green connection indicator will
light up, showing that the station is ready for use.
Charging
When the PRO 4000 Thermometer is not in use it
should be stored – in its protective cover – in the
Base Station. When placed into the station, the
thermometer will give a short beep and the yellow
charging indicator will light up.
The yellow light indicates that the thermometer‘s
batteries are charging. When the batteries are fully
charged, the yellow light will go out. If it comes on
again later on, this indicates that the batteries are
being recharged to maintain their full capacity.
When in use, the thermometer’s display may show
«RET» and the battery symbol. This means it has to
be returned to the station for charging.
Care and Cleaning
Disconnect the Base Station from electrical outlet.
Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the Base Station. Do not
use abrasive cleaners. Never submerge this device in
water or any other liquid. Store in a dry location free
from dust and contamination and away from direct
sunlight.
Anti-theft function
The PRO 4000 Thermometer is equipped with an
anti-theft function which requires returning the thermometer to the Base Station within a pre-selected
time. If this time is exceeded, the thermometer will
be locked.
When leaving the factory, the anti-theft function of
the PRO 4000 is turned off. Below are details to set
the function and time period:
• Put the thermometer into the station and wait for
the long confirmation beep.
• Press the start-button on top of the thermometer and keep it pressed while you take the
thermometer out of the station.
7
• When you release the start-button, the thermometer‘s display will show the actual anti-theft time
setting. E.g. «H08» meaning 8 hours have been
selected as the time for which the thermometer
can be used before it has to be returned to the
station.
• To change the anti-theft interval setting, press the
start button again and as often as necessary until
the desired time is shown in the display.
«H--» means the anti-theft function is off, «H01»
means 1 hour setting, etc.
• Release the start button and place the thermometer back into the station within 30 seconds.
A beep will sound, confirming the setting.
• If the setting is not confirmed, repeat the procedure as described.
If the anti-theft function is enabled, and when not
in the measuring process (stand-by mode) the
thermometer will show the time remaining before
the anti-theft function shuts down its operation.
«H3.5» means the anti-theft function will shut down in
3.5 hours.
If the thermometer shows «RET» (without the battery
symbol) on its display, the anti-theft time has elapsed
and the thermometer must be returned to the station
for unlocking.
If the anti-theft function is not enabled, the display
will show «OFF» when in stand-by mode.
