A Warning identifies conditions and actions that pose hazards to the user. To
avoid electrical shock or personal injury, follow these guidelines:
• * Do not point laser directly at eye or indirectly off reflective surfaces.
• Before using the Thermometer inspect the case. Do not use the Thermometer
if it appears damaged. Look for cracks or missing plastic.
• Replace the batteries as soon as the battery indicator (B) appears.
• Do not use the Thermometer if it operates abnormally. Protection may be
impaired. When in doubt, have the Thermometer serviced.
• Do not operate the Thermometer around explosive gas, vapor, or dust.
• Do not connect the optional external probe to live electrical circuits.
• To avoid a burn hazard, remember that highly reflective objects will often
result in lower than actual temperature measurements.
• If the Thermometer is used in a manner not specified by the manufacturer, the
protection provided by the Thermometer may be impaired.
W Caution
To avoid damaging the thermometer or the equipment under test protect them
from the following:
• EMF (electro-magnetic fields) from arc welders, induction heaters, etc.
• Static electricity.
• Thermal shock (caused by large or abrupt ambient temperature changes-
allow 30 minutes for the Thermometer to stabilize before use).
• Do not leave the Thermometer on or near objects of high temperature.
