Operating Instructions
Read the ENTIRE IMPORTANT
SAFETY INFORMATION section at the
beginning of this manual including
all text under subheadings therein
before set up or use of this product.
Note: Do not expose this product to strong
electromagnetic fields, such as those generated
by an arc welder, induction heater, etc.
Note: When moving the Thermometer to an area
with significantly different ambient temperature,
allow the unit to adjust to the new ambient
temperature for 30 minutes before use.
1. Push the Laser ON/OFF button
to toggle the Laser.
2. Push the ºF/ºC button to toggle
from Fahrenheit to Celsius.
3. Squeeze the Trigger and move the laser
to see a constant temperature reading.
4. Release the Trigger to display the
most recent temperature reading.
5. Non-reflective surfaces will yield a more
accurate reading than reflective surfaces.
Duct tape (sold separately) can be applied
to reflective surfaces in order to get a better
measurement. Allow sufficient time for the
tape to match the temperature of the surface
it is applied to before trying to get a reading.
6. The maximum range for the Infrared
Thermometer is approximately 8 feet.
The object being tested should be
larger than the size calculated by the
