INSTRUMENT OPERATION - The instrument is
switched on by unfolding the probe and turned
off by folding the probe until fully located 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. When opening the
probe, a short light flash, followed by a long flash
indicates the instrument is powered and ready to be
connected via Bluetooth.
Apply the tip of the probe to the substance, medium
or surface to be measured. The sensor is located at
the tip of the probe, therefore the minimum depth
insertion should be 3 mm.
The probe tip is very sharp and therefore
caution should be taken when using. Care
should also be taken when closing the probe
after taking hot temperatures as the probe
may remain hot.
CONNECTION - Use a Bluetooth®Low Energy 'Smart or Smart Ready' iOS or
AndroidTM host device with the ThermaQ App installed to make connections

compatibility visit www.etiltd.com. Open the ThermaQ App and connect to the
device via the Devices screen, use the instrument’s serial number to select the
