“Body” mode is used for measuring human body temperature, the “surface ” mode is used to measure the surface temperature. (The
Use the Memory
The last temperature taken before the thermometer powers off is stored in memory. The memory can save up to 50 readings. To access and clear the data from the memory, follow these steps:
- When the device is off, press the down”T”function key, or press the up”.._” function key to view the history of measured values.
- An empty memory cell shows” -‘C” or” -“F”.
- If you want to clear the saved measurements, switch on the thermometer. Enter the boot mode by pressing the mode button for a few seconds. Release the button when “RST” or “CLR” appears on the display.
Change Settings
Some settings of this thermometer can be adapted according to specific wishes of the users, depending on their individual characteristics or environments.

- If the system doesn’t work properly after changing battery, take off the batteries and wait for 30 seconds. Then try again.
Warning
- The typical service life of the new and unused batteries is 2000 measurements when the operating time is 18 seconds.
- Only use the recommended batteries, do not recharge non-rechargeable batteries and do not burn them.
Cleaning Care and Storage
- It is very important to protect the lens from dirt and damage. You may use a cotton swab dampened with isopropyl (rubbing alcohol) or warm water to gently clean the lens if dirty.

- The thermometer has to acclimatise to a change In ambient temperature. If the ambient temperature changes, you get the most accurate results if you allow the thermometer to remain In that room for 30 minutes before taking a measurement. Make sure the thermometer is In a room with a stable ambient temperature (between 59°F to 95″F or 1 s·c to 35’C).
