Battery Replacement
1. When the symbol “ ” appears,
the battery needs to be replaced.
2. With the thermometer turned off, remove the screw from the back of the battery
cover. Pull the battery cover off in the direction shown.
3. Use a pointed object such as a toothpick to pry loose the old battery. Avoid
using any sharp metal object.
4. Place new 1.5V button size battery LR41 or equivalent in the chamber with the
negative (-) side up and the positive (+) side down.
5. Replace and screw back battery cover to thermometer.

How to Use
1. Disinfect the probe with isopropyl (rubbing) alcohol before using.
2. We recommend using probe covers to help prevent cross-contamination.
Use of probe cover may result in a 0.2°F difference from actual temperature.
3. Press and release the multifunction button. The display will read
confirming the unit is functioning properly.
4. Then the display will show L°F with °F flashing.
5. Place the probe in the appropriate position. The minimal measurement time
is around 10 seconds.
6. Once the degree sign °F stops flashing, the measurement is finished and the
temperature will be displayed. The device will beep for approximately 8 seconds
after °F stops flashing.
7. The unit will automatically turn off in 3 minutes. To prolong battery life, press
the multifunction button to turn off the device manually.

NOTE: Temperature readings vary from time to time; find the animal’s normal
temperature and watch for changes. If you compare readings between two
thermometers, it is possible to have different readings even if both of them are
within accuracy requirements.
Special Features

the multifunction button for approximately 5 seconds. The display will flash then
change to show the last reading. This reading is displayed as long as the button
is held down.
When the button is released, the thermometer will be in “ready-to-measure”
mode and the recalled temperature will be erased.
Switching Temperature Modes: Within 3 seconds of turning on the thermome-
ter, the Celsius or Fahrenheit mode can be switched by pressing and holding the
multifunction button for at least 2 seconds.
