BATTERY INSTALLATION
Remove the battery compartment cover (Fig. 1) by lifting it at both corners
simultaneously. This will expose the battery cover and setting buttons (Fig.
2). Loosen the battery cover screw and remove the battery cover. Install the
AAA battery according to the illustration in the battery compartment. Replace
the battery cover making certain to insert the tab of the battery cover first.
Carefully tighten the battery cover screw. Do not over-tighten the battery
cover screw, as this could damage the unit. Replace the battery
compartment cover (Fig. 1).
SETTING THE INTERNAL CLOCK
The internal clock must be set so that the minimum and maximum
temperature memories will automatically reset at the correct time (See
Maximum/Minimum Memory Reset section). The internal clock will begin
keeping time at 0:00 hours once the battery has been installed, follow this
procedure to enter the correct time-of-day.
1.
Remove the battery compartment cover (Fig. 1) by lifting it at both
corners simultaneously.
2. Press the MODE button to enter the setting mode. (The time-of-day
display will appear with the hours digits flashing.)
3. Press the + button to advance the hours. (Time-of-day must be
entered in 24-hour format.)
4. Once the desired hours appear on the display, press the MODE button
(minutes will flash).
5. Press the + button to advance the minutes.
6. Once the desired minutes appear on the display, press the MODE
button. (The unit will return to the temperature display.)
7. Replace the battery compartment cover.
MAXIMUM/MINIMUM MEMORY RESET
The maximum temperature is automatically cleared and reset to the current
temperature every 24 hours at 08:00 hours (8 am). The minimum
temperature is automatically cleared and reset to the current temperature
every 24 hours at 20:00 hours (8 pm). There is a 12 hour differential between
the maximum and minimum temperature being reset. It is not possible to
disable this automatic memory reset feature.
“CHEATING” THE TIME-OF-DAY FOR MEMORY RESET
To have the minimum and maximum temperature reset at a different time,
other than 8 am and 8 pm, the time-of-day may be adjusted to the desired
setting. There will always be a 12 hour differential between the maximum and
minimum temperature resets.
Example 1: To reset the maximum temperature at noon, and the minimum
temperature at midnight, the time-of-day would be set 4 hours behind the
actual time-of-day.
Example 2:
To reset the maximum temperature at 6 am, and the minimum
temperature at 6 pm, the time-of-day would be set 2 hours ahead of the
actual time-of-day.
MOUNTING THE THERMOMETER
The unit may be mounted to any clean, smooth surface by using the supplied
Velcro®. Prior to mounting, make certain that the surface is clean and dry.
The thermometer housing is weather resistant; however, the unit should not
be placed in an environment where it will be constantly exposed to moisture.
When mounting the unit, do not mount the unit in direct sunlight, this can
cause readings to be higher than the actual ambient temperature and may
also cause damage to the unit.
ALL OPERATIONAL DIFFICULTIES
If this unit does not function properly for any reason, replace the battery with
a new high-quality battery. Low battery power can occasionally 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, or no display are all indications that the
battery must be replaced. Remove the battery compartment cover (Fig. 1) by
lifting it at both corners simultaneously. This will expose the battery cover
and setting buttons (Fig. 2). Loosen the battery cover screw and remove the
battery cover. Install the AAA battery according to the illustration in the
battery compartment. Replace the battery cover making certain to insert the
tab of the battery cover first. Carefully tighten the battery cover screw. Do
not over-tighten the battery cover screw, as this could damage the unit.
Replace the battery compartment cover (Fig. 1).
