TEMPERATURE MEASUREMENT
Single Probe measurement
Press the ON button to power unit. 1.
Select °F or °C by pressing the °F/°C button. 2.
Select 0.1° or 1.0° resolution by pressing the 1°/0.1° 3.
button.
Insert temperature probe into T1 socket. It may be 4.
necessary to press the FUNCTION button until “T1”
is displayed, indicating the unit is sampling from the
probe in the T1 socket.
Note: The cable and connectors are keyed, do NOT
insert connector incorrectly and force it.
Dual probe and differential measurement

Select °F or °C by pressing the °F/°C button. 2.
Select 0.1° or 1.0° resolution by pressing the 1°/0.1° 3.
button.
Insert temperature probe into T1 socket and another
4.
temperature probe into T2 socket.
Note: The cables and connectors are keyed, do NOT
insert the cables incorrectly and force them.
Press the FUNCTION button to alternate between 5.
viewing temperature readings from probe T1, probe
T2, and the differential temperature. The FUNCTION
button alternates between the following settings:
When “T1” is displayed, the upper display indicates
temperature reading from T1 probe. The T2 probe
temperature reading appears on lower display.
When “T2” is displayed, the upper display indicates
temperature reading from T2 probe. The T1 probe
temperature reading appears on lower display.
When “T1 - T2” is displayed, the upper display indicates
differential temperature of T1 and T2 probes. The T1
probe temperature reading appears on lower display.
DATA HOLD FUNCTION
To “freeze” the display at the current temperature 1.
reading(s), press the DATA HOLD button (“D.H” will
appear along the top of the display).
Note: While in the Hold mode, pressing the °C/°F,
FUNCTION, 1°/0.1°, MEMORY RECORD, or MEMORY
RECALL button will have no affect and will not change
the “frozen” display.
Push the DATA HOLD button a second time to return 2.
to normal temperature sampling (“D.H will no longer
appear on the display).
MEMORY RECORD
Press MEMORY RECORD button to activate the Record
mode. Once the Record mode, the unit will begin
recording minimum and maximum temperature readings
achieved for the probe indicated on the main display
(“T1” or “T2”) (“REC” will appear along the bottom of the
display).
Note: The Automatic Shutoff feature is disabled while
in Record mode so that long-term monitoring may be
performed.
MEMORY RECALL
While in the Record mode, press the MEMORY 1.
RECALL button to recall the minimum and maximum
temperature recordings for the probe appearing on
the upper display (“T1” or “T2”).
The maximum temperature recording appears on the
2.
fi rst press of the MEMORY RECALL button (“Max”)
and the minimum temperature recording appears
on the second press (“Min”). A third press of the
MEMORY RECALL button returns the display to the
current temperature reading.
Exit the Record mode by pressing the MEMORY
3.
RECORD button.
Warning: The minimum and maximum temperature
recordings are automatically cleared once the Record
mode has been exited.
AUTOMATIC SHUTOFF
After 10 minutes, if no button has been pressed, the unit
will automatically shut off to preserve battery life. The
automatic shutoff can be overridden by entering the
Record mode (see “Memory Record” section).

DISPLAY MESSAGES
“LBT” indicates that the battery is low and needs replace-
ment (see “Battery Replacement” section)
“---” indicates the reading is outside the range of the unit.
ALL OPERATIONAL DIFFICULTIES
If this thermometer does not function properly for any
reason, please replace the battery with a new, high-quality
battery (see “Battery Replacement” section). Low battery
power can occasionally cause any number of “apparent”
operational diffi culties. Replacing the battery with a new
fresh battery will solve most diffi culties.
BATTERY REPLACEMENT
An erratic display, faint display, no display, or “LBT”
appearing on the display are all indicators that the battery
needs replacement. Remove the battery cover. Remove
the exhausted battery and replace it with a new 9-volt
alkaline battery. Replace the battery cover.
