EMISSIVITY
Emissivity adjustment is optional. Emissivity adjustments are used to provide a
truer temperature reading. Different materials radiate infrared energy at slightly
different temperatures. The emissivity adjustment is used to compensate for
different types of materials. The default emissivity of 0.95 will cover 90% of
typical applications.

The emissivity table provides a guide of different emissivity values for different
materials.

When the emissivity of an object is unknown use a non-infrared thermometer,
such as a thermometer with a surface probe to measure the object’s surface
temperature. Adjust the emissivity until the temperature of the infrared
thermometer matches the temperature of the surface probe. The emissivity
value arrived at by this method may be used to measure similar materials.

To adjust the emissivity (optional):
1. Press and release the trigger to turn on the display.
2. With a pointed object, press the EMIS. button, until ▲E▼ appears on the

display.

3. To adjust the emissivity value, press the ↑ and ↓ buttons. (Do not press the

trigger while adjusting the emissivity value). Press and hold to advance the
display rapidly. The emissivity can be set from 0.10 to 1.00.

4. Once the desired emissivity value appears on the display, press MODE

button to confirm the value. (▲E▼ will no longer appear on the display.)

This emissivity value will be used for all temperature measurements until the
value is reset.

DISPLAY MESSAGES
“Er2” will appear on the display when the unit is exposed to rapid changes in

ambient temperature.
“Er3” will appear on the display when the ambient temperature is below 32°

F (0° C) or above 122° F (50° C).
“Er” will appear on the display when the unit needs to be reset. To reset the

unit, remove the batteries, wait 2 minutes and then reinstall the batteries.

ALL OPERATIONAL DIFFICULTIES
If this thermometer does not function properly for any reason, replace the
batteries with new high-quality batteries (see Battery Replacement section). Low
battery power can occasionally cause any number of “apparent” operational
difficulties. Replacing the batteries with new fresh batteries will solve most
difficulties.

BATTERY REPLACEMENT
Erratic readings, faint readings, no display, or

appearing on the display

are all indications that the batteries must be replaced. Open the battery
compartment by sliding the battery cover in the direction indicated by the arrow
and then lift the battery cover. Remove the exhausted batteries and replace
them with two (2) new AAA alkaline batteries. Make certain to install the new
batteries in the directions indicated in the battery compartment. Close the
battery cover.
