CAUTION
1.
WHEN DEVICE IS IN USE, DO NOT LOOK DIRECTLY INTO THE LASER BEAM–PERMANENT EYE DAMAGE MAY RESULT.
2.
USE EXTREME CAUTION WHEN OPERATING THE LASER.
3.
NEVER POINT THE DEVICE TOWARDS ANYONE’S EYES.
4.
KEEP OUT OF REACH OF ALL CHILDREN.
STORAGE & CLEANING
It should be stored at room temperature. The sensor lens is the most delicate part of the thermometer. The lens should be kept clean at all
times, care should be taken when cleaning the lens using only a soft cloth or cotton swab with water or medical alcohol, allowing the lens
to fully dry before using the thermometer. Do not submerge any part of the thermometer.
LCD ERROR MESSAGES
The thermometer incorporates visual diagnostic messages as follows:
‘Hi’ or ’Lo’ is displayed when the temperature being measured is outside of the settings of HAL and
LAL.
「
」 「
」
‘Er2’ is displayed when the thermometer is exposed to rapid changes in the ambient temperature. ‘Er3’
is displayed when the ambient temperature exceeds 0
o
C (32°F) or +50
o
C (122°F). The thermometer
should be allowed plenty of time (minimum 30 minutes) to stabilize to the working/room temperature.
「
」
Error 5~9, for all other error messages it is necessary to reset the thermometer. To reset it, turn the
instrument off, remove the battery and wait for a minimum of one minute, reinsert the battery and turn
on. If the error message remains please contact the Service Department for further assistance.
「
」「
」
‘Hi’ or ’Lo’ is displayed when the temperature being measured is outside of the measurement range.
BATTERIES
The thermometer incorporates visual low battery indication as follows:
‘Battery OK’: measurements
are possible
‘Battery Low’: battery needs to be
replaced, measurements are still possible
‘Battery Exhausted’: measurements are not
possible
When the ‘Low Battery’ icon indicates the battery is low, the battery should be replaced immediately with AAA, 1.5V batteries. Please
note: It is important to turn the instrument off before replacing the battery otherwise the thermometer may malfunction.
Dispose of used battery promptly and keep away from children.

The thermometer will automatically shut off if left idle for more than 15 sec.
EMC/RFI:
Readings may be affected if the unit is operated within radio frequency electromagnetic field strength of
approximately 3 volts per meter, but the performance of the instrument will not be permanently affected.
