errors to maximize overall accuracy.
• Work with any K-type or J-type thermocouples.
• Readout in °C, °F, or Kelvin (K).
• Auto Power Off mode increases battery life.
4. Buttons
• Press to turn the thermometer on or off.
• Press to toggle showing the T1, T2, and T1-T2 (differential
temperature measurement) in the top and bottom display.
• Press to switch between Celsius (°C), Fahrenheit (°F)
and Kelvin (K) temperature units.
• Press to freeze or unfreeze the displayed readings.
• Press to toggle through MAX, MIN and AVG (average) readings.
To exit the MAX/MIN/AVG mode, press the button for 3 seconds
