SAFETY
WARNING! Read all safety warnings and
instructions. Failure to follow the warnings and
instructions may result in electric shock, fire
and serious injury. Save these instructions, as
they contain important safety and operating
instructions. Before using, read this manual and
all labels on the temperature gun thoroughly.
LASER LIGHT
• Do not stare into beam or view directly with optical
instruments. Do not point laser light at others. Laser
light can cause eye damage.
• Avoid exposure to laser radiation. Laser may emit
hazardous radiation.
• Do not point laser at reflective surfaces.
Unpredictable results may occur.
WORK AREA
• Keep children and bystanders away while operating
temperature gun. Store idle temperature gun out
of the reach of children and do not allow persons
unfamiliar with the tool or these instructions to
operate them.
• Avoid dangerous environments. Do not use in rainy,
snowy, damp or wet locations. Do not use in the
presence of explosive atmospheres (i.e., gaseous
fumes, dust or flammable materials) because sparks
may be generated when inserting or removing
batteries, possibly causing fire.
PERSONAL
• Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use
common sense when operating temperature gun.
Do not use while you are tired or under the influence
of alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention
may result in serious personal injury.
• Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and
balance at all times. This enables better control in
unexpected situations.
BATTERY USE AND CARE
• This tool is designed to be powered by three AA
batteries properly inserted into the temperature
gun. Do not attempt to use with any other voltage or
power supply.
• Do not leave batteries within reach of children.
• Do not mix new and used batteries. Do not mix
brands (or types within brands) of batteries.
• Do not mix rechargeable and non-rechargeable
batteries.
• Install batteries according to polarity (+/–) diagrams.
• Properly dispose of used batteries immediately.
• Do not incinerate or dismantle batteries.
• Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected
from the battery – avoid contact. If contact
accidentally occurs, flush with water. If liquid
contacts eyes, seek medical help. Liquid ejected
from battery may cause irritation or burns.
SERVICE
• Have your temperature gun serviced by a qualified
repair person using only identical replacement
parts. This will ensure that the safety of the tool is
maintained.
• Do not disassemble. Incorrect reassembly may result
in the risk of electric shock or fire. If damaged, call
Uline Customer Service at 1-800-295-5510.
• Store in a cool, dry place. Do not store where
temperatures may exceed 140°F (60°C), such as in
direct sunlight, a vehicle or a metal building during
the summer.
• Do not remove or deface labels. Maintain labels
and nameplates. These carry important information.
If unreadable or missing, contact Uline Customer
Service at 1-800-295-5510.

ASSEMBLY
OPERATION
LOADING/CHANGING THE BATTERIES
1. Press in the battery door lock and open the battery
door.
2. Before installing batteries for the first time,
remove the white, rectangular tag in the battery
compartment.
3. Insert three AA batteries. (See Figure 1)
4. Close the battery door securely.
SELECTING CELSIUS OR FAHRENHEIT
Switch between Celsius and Fahrenheit temperature
display any time by using the switch inside the battery
compartment.
Figure 1
SCANNING OBJECT IR TEMPERATURE
1. Pull and hold the trigger for at least two seconds
and scan the surface temperature of an object. A
laser pointer is used for aiming on the area being
scanned.
NOTE: The object should be larger than the
spot being scanned. If not, readings will be
affected. See Distance To Spot for necessary
object size.
2. As you continue to hold the trigger, the
icon is displayed along with the surface
temperature (primary measurement)
and maximum temperature (secondary
measurement) readings.
3. Release the trigger. HOLD is displayed
until the screen shuts off in about seven
seconds.
NOTE: A quick change in
temperature (>10°F) affects the meter’s
readings. Allow the meter to reach ambient
temperature before use (5 to 30 minutes,
depending on temperature change).
TEMPERATURE ALARM
1. Press the alarm button to turn on the alarm function.
2. The bell icon is displayed. If the temperature
reading is outside the preset range, the temperature
reading will flash and an alarm will sound.
MUTING ALARM
Mute the alarm by pressing the alarm button.
The bell icon will go off. The temperature
reading will continue to flash as long as it is
outside the preset range.
SETTING PRESET RANGE FOR THE ALARM
1. To set the alarm range, pull and hold the
trigger and then press the alarm button.
Repeat to toggle between LO and HI
settings.
2. Pull the trigger to increase the values;
press the alarm button to decrease the
values. Wait three seconds for the ranges
to save and exit.
LOW BATTERY
When the low battery icon is displayed,
change the batteries.
WARNING! Always remove batteries
before changing or removing
accessories. Only use accessories
specifically recommended for this tool. Others
may be hazardous.
