BATTERIES
To open the battery
compartment, press
gently on the top part of
the handle (1) to release
the catch (2) and pivot
the grip as shown in the
figure.
Orient the batteries (two
alkaline R6 (AA, UM3))
as shown on the housing.
MEASUREMENT
QUICK START
To take a temperature
measurement, hold the
unit as shown. Aim at the
target. Pull the trigger (F).
The temperature of the
object being measured is
shown on the display (B).
The temperature will be
displayed for seven
seconds after the trigger
is released.
The unit automatically switches “off” after
7 seconds if a function key is not pressed.
The last settings are stored. The display
returns to the last mode selected.
To recall the last reading, press ENTER
without pulling the trigger.

The measured spot size depends on the distance
between the object you are measuring and the infrared
thermometer. The relationship between distance and
spot size is 60:1 at the focus point. The D:S in the far
field (>33ft/10m) is 35:1.
MEASUREMENT
SPOT SIZE

The laser sight simplifies
sighting of the measure-
ment object. It shows the
spot size that includes the
measured target.
To turn the laser on or off
press the LASER button
(K) when the trigger is
pulled. A laser symbol (1)
appears when the laser is
on. The laser automatically
turns off if you release the
trigger.

Target
The amount of infrared
energy radiated by an
object depends on its
emissivity and its
temperature.
The emissivity depends on
the material and its surface
characteristics. For more
accurate readings, adjust
the emissivity value for
the type of material being
measured.
