3. Operating Procedures and Features
(1) Power ON/OFF
Press the POWER key. After all the digits have flashed on the display for one second, the unit is
ready for measurement. Press the POWER key again to turn the unit off.
Press the POWER key to turn off the unit at any point of time during operation.Also, turned on, the
unit is set in the normal measurement mode.
* This instruction manual describes the situation where the unit has just been turned on (the
situation where there is no feature indications on the left side of the display) as the normal
measurement mode.
(2) HOLD Features (See the chart on Page 4.)
1. HOLD Feature
This feature holds the indication of the current measured temperature.
"HOLD" flashes on the display.
2. Maximum Value HOLD Feature (MAX HOLD)
"MAX" and "HOLD" flashing on the display means that the unit holds the indication of the
constantly updated highest temperature.
If an error occurs, the unit will hold the indication of the error.
3. Minimum Value HOLD Feature (MIN HOLD)
"MIN" and "HOLD" flashing on the display means that the unit holds the indication of the constantly
updated lowest temperature.
If an error occurs, the unit will HOLD the indication of the error.
4. Average Value HOLD Feature (AVG HOLD)
This feature indicates the average values between any two points of time.
While "AVG" is flashing on the display, the unit retains the temperature data being measured. In so
doing, the unit indicates the actual temperature data.
Press the HOLD key to have "AVG" and "HOLD" flash on the display. The unit will hold the
average value calculated based on the temperature data retained in it.
The unit can average the data for up to 5 hours. If the unit is used for more than 5 hours, the
feature will be canceled.
If an error occurs during equation, the unit will hold the indication of the error.

4. Error Messages
(1) Broken Detection Terminal Indication
If the detection terminal of the probe gets broken or the probe is not
connected, "Err" is indicated on the display as in the right figure.
If so indicated, replace or connect the probe.
(2) Over Range Indication
If the temperature being measured goes beyond the measurable range,
"or" or "-or" is indicated on the display.
* This indication may appear when the detection terminal of the probe is
almost broken. If it is clear that the temperature being measured is
within the measurable range, check the probe. In addition, if the
instrument reading abnormally fluctuates, check the probe.
(3) Low Battery Indication
If the battery voltage gets low, the low battery voltage indication will
flash with 5 hours of life left.
In addition, the whole display is programmed to blink with 30 minutes of life left.
* The duration of the low battery voltage indication varies depending on the battery type and
environment.
(4) Troubleshooting
If you have found a problem with the display or features, use a thin stick to press the reset button
located on the battery compartment.
Pressing the reset button will reset the unit to the same setting as it has just been turned ON.
* If the unit will not operate properly even after pressing the reset button, the unit may have been
damaged. In such a case, contact your authorized dealer.

5. How to Place the Probe
Place the probe perpendicular to the contact surface. In
addition, note that the unit will not operate properly if the
surface is rough or uneven.
* Before measurement, check the measurable range of
the probe. If you measure a temperature beyond the
range, there is a risk of failure and/unexpected injury.
6. Maintenance
(1) Storage
When you store the unit, avoid such places as follows:
* Place exposed to direct sunlight
* Place that oscillates violently
* Place where the humidity is high (above 80%R.H.)
* Hot atmosphere (above 50°C)
* High electromagnetic field
(2) If the Housing Gets Dirty
If the housing gets dirty, immerse a shop towel in water or oil to wipe the housing. The housing is
made of ABS resin. Do not use organic solvents such as thinner, benzine and alcohol. These
