INSTRUCTIONS
ALL OPERATIONAL DIFFICULTIES
If this thermometer does not function
properly for any reason, replace the
batteries with new high quality batteries
(see Battery Replacement section). Low
battery power can occasionally cause
any number of “apparent” operational
difculties. Replacing the batteries
with new fresh batteries will solve most
difculties.
BATTERY REPLACEMENT
Erratic readings, faint readings, no display,
or appearing on the display are all
indications that the batteries must be
replaced. Open the battery compartment
by sliding the battery cover in the direction
indicated by the arrow and then lift the
battery cover. Remove the exhausted
batteries and replace them with two (2)
new AAA alkaline batteries. Make certain
to install the new batteries in the directions
indicated in the battery compartment.
Close the battery cover.

SPECIFICATIONS
Range: –76 to 932°F / –60 to 500°C
Resolution: 0.1° (-9.9 to 199.9)
1° (otherwise)
OPERATION
Press and continue to hold down the
trigger to take temperature readings. The
unit will take temperature readings while
the trigger is pressed and held (SCAN ap-
pearing on the display indicates measure-
ments are being taken).
After the trigger is released, the last
temperature measured will be displayed
for approximately 15 seconds and the
display will turn off automatically. HOLD
will appear on the display when the
trigger has been released to indicate that
the unit is no longer taking temperature
measurements.
SELECTING UNITS OF MEASURE
Each press of the °C/°F button will toggle
between °C and °F.
LASER TARGETING
Laser targeting is always active when
the trigger is being pressed. Each time
the trigger is pressed and held, the laser
beam will be emitted.
CAUTION: Eye damage may result from
direct exposure to laser light.
MAXIMUM TEMPERATURE
While taking measurements, the unit
will automatically record the maximum
temperature reading that has been
measured. This value will appear on the
display to the right of MAX.
DISTANCE SPOT/RATIO
There are other factors that may affect
measurement accuracy. The target must
completely ll the spot diameter seen
by the infrared sensor; otherwise read-
ings will be inuenced by the surface
surrounding the target. The ratio of the
distance to the size of the spot being
measured is 11:1. For example, an ob-
ject’s diameter of 100mm can be mea-
sured from 1100mm.
DISPLAY MESSAGES
“Er2” will appear on the display when
the unit is exposed to rapid changes in
ambient temperature.
“Er3” will appear on the display when
the ambient temperature is below 32° F
(0° C) or above 122° F (50° C).
“Er” will appear on the display when the
unit needs to be reset. To reset the unit,
remove the batteries, wait 2 minutes and
then re-install the batteries.
