Features
 ON/OFF and Backlight ---fold out the probe to switch
on the instrument. You can turn on/off the
thermometer or light up with this button. If you use
the on/off button to turn it off, you must use it to
turn it on again.
 °C/°F ---Press °C/°F button on the thermometer to
select the desired temperature unit.
 Min/Max--- Minimum and maximum temperature
value memories
 CAL ---Calibration [See the calibration procedure]
Replacing the Battery
1. Use a coin to open the battery door on the thermometer. Insert the coin in the slot on top of the
battery door and turn it counter-clockwise until the small triangle feature on top of the battery door
is lined up with the “Un-lock” symbol.
2. Take out the door and replace the battery. Ensure
the batteries are installed correctly. Make sure the
original o-ring is inside the battery chamber. Line up
the small line feature on top of the battery door with
the “Un-lock” symbol. Then insert the battery door
into the chamber and turn it clockwise until the small
line feature on top of the battery door is lined up
with the “Lock” symbol.

Calibration Procedure
Step 1) Make sure you have a certified reference thermometer that is at least twice the accuracy of the
thermometer to be recalibrated. Eg. RD0370R https://www.scigiene.com/Scigiene-Reference-
Thermometer-NIST-Traceable
Step 2) Make sure you have a good high accuracy calibrator that works at 0°C or preferable over the
range you will be using the thermometer. https://www.scigiene.com/SCCAL-9-Calibrator or
https://www.scigiene.com/SCCAL-2-Calibrator. Again, the calibrator must have precision better than the
test thermometer. For example, ice baths are only barely acceptable for thermometers with an accuracy
of +-2.0C. See https://documents.scigiene.com/content/documents/Calculation-of-Stated-
Thermometer-Accuracy1.pdf for a more detailed explanation.
Step 3) Place both the reference and thermometer(s) to be tested in the calibrator following the
calibrator’s instructions precisely and set the calibrator at 0.0°C. Then wait at least 10 seconds to allow
the probes to all stabilize at the calibrator temperature. If necessary, make adjustments until the
reference thermometer reads precisely 0.0° C. Wait 10 seconds and then press the Cal button on the
thermometer being calibrated for 2 seconds. The thermometer is now precisely calibrated at 0.0°C.
Step 4) If possible the reference and test thermometer should be similarly tested at other points. If
these are significantly out of specification the thermometer should be removed from service.
