free from the App Store (Apple devices) or on Google
PlayTM (Android devices). For full device 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 correct device
from the list. Once connected the ThermaQ App

down. This function can be switched off via the
ThermaQ App.
ALARM STATUS LED - A red flash indicates a

flash indicates the temperatures are within the set
alarm levels. The LED flashes every measurement
whether connected via Bluetooth or not.
OPEN CIRCUIT/FAULTY PROBE - If the probe has
developed an 'open circuit' fault or is not present the
instrument will display 'Err'.
BONDING - This instrument does not need to be

approximately 5 seconds until the display shows
'clr bond'.
BATTERY STATUS - This is indicated by the ThermaQ
App and the instrument’s display using the battery

BATTERY REPLACEMENT - Unscrew the 4 screws
located on the back of the instrument and remove
rear case. This can be difficult especially after a
long period but if done gradually at each corner the
case will come apart. Replace the AA battery noting
polarity. Refit rear case and refit screws taking care
not trap/pinch the seal. Tighten the screws evenly but
do not overtighten as this will affect the instrument
water resistance.
WARNING: IPA and other solvents may cause
damage to the case and screen of this instrument.
