PROBE CABLE COMPARTMENT
Open the cable compartment located at the top of the back of the unit
to access the probe cable. The bottom of the compartment is hinged
and will drop down. Open the bottom portion first. The top portion of
the compartment is designed to be pulled straight out approximately
1/4 inch allowing the probe cable to be un-wound/wound around the
cable spool. The top portion is not designed to be pulled out
completely.

OPERATION

Remove the plastic tip protector from the tip of the stainless steel
probe. Press the ON/OFF button to turn the unit on. Press the °F/°C
button to switch between Fahrenheit and Celsius temperature. Insert
the probe into the material to be measured and read the display.

Note:

The probe handle and cable are not waterproof. Do not immerse probe

handle or cable in liquid. Immersing the probe handle or cable in liquid can
cause permanent damage to the thermometer.

To turn the unit off, press the ON/OFF button. To conserve battery
life, always turn the unit off when it is not in use.

MINIMUM/MAXIMUM MEMORIES
While taking measurements, press the MAX/MIN button once. The
minimum temperature tested will be displayed. Press the MAX/MIN
button again and maximum temperature tested will be displayed.
The display will return to current temperature automatically after
three seconds.
The minimum/maximum memories are cleared when the
thermometer is turned off.

TEMPERATURE ALARM

While taking measurements, press the LO AL or HI AL button to set
an alarm at a desired minimum (LO AL) or maximum (HI AL)
temperature limit.
Press and hold the button to rapidly advance the display.
Once the desired alarm temperature appears on the display, wait 3
seconds, the temperature alarm point will be set and the display will
return to the current temperature reading. “LOW” and/or “HI” will
show on the display indicating the alarm has been set.
The alarm will sound 4 beeps per minute when the measured
temperature equals or is greater than the maximum or less than the
minimum set values. To silence/stop the alarm, press any button
while the unit is alarming.

To clear the alarm setting, press the °F/°C or ON/OFF button.

HOLD/TEST FUNCTION

While taking measurements, press the H/T (HOLD/TEST) button to
“freeze” the reading for recording purposes (“HOLD” will flash on the
display). Press the H/T button again to resume testing.

Note:

While the HOLD function is being used, the thermometer will not

measure/record any temperature values for the Minimum/Maximum
Memories, or High/Low Alarms.

BENCH STAND
The unit is supplied with a bench stand that is part of the back of the
unit. To use the bench stand, locate the small rectangular opening at
the bottom of the unit. Place your fingernail into the opening and flip
the stand out. To close the stand, simply snap it shut.

ALL OPERATIONAL DIFFICULTIES

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

BATTERY REPLACEMENT
Erratic readings, a faint display, no display, or appearing on the display
are all indications that the battery must be replaced. Flip open the
bench stand and slide the battery cover off in the direction of the arrow.
Remove the exhausted battery and replace it with a new 1.5 volt silver-
oxide 357 size battery. Make certain positive (+) side is visible.
Replace battery cover. Close the bench stand.
