Operation
Press the ON/OFF button to turn the thermometer on.
CAL Check™ automatically verifies the thermometer’s circuit accuracy at 0.0 °C.
During start up, the calibration of the instrument’s circuit is checked and the result is briefly displayed to
show the calibration result.
“CAL” and “-0-” indicate that the instrument performs within specifications.
“Err” displayed during measurement indicates that the user has to wait for the reading to stabilize.
Note: The CAL Check system can only check the electronic circuit calibration and does not check the sensor
of the Checktemp 1. It is recommended to check the sensor by performing an ice test or comparative test
against a reference thermometer.
