SPECIFICATIONS
Range:
–58.0 to 1832 °F
–50.0 to 1000 °C
Resolution:
0.1° (-9.9 to 199.9) 1° (otherwise)
OPERATION
Press and continue to hold down the trigger to take temperature readings. 
The unit will take temperature readings while the trigger is pressed and held 
(SCAN appearing on the display indicates measurements are being taken). 
 
After the trigger is released, the last temperature measured will be displayed 
for approximately 7 seconds and the display will turn off automatically. 
HOLD will appear on the display when the trigger has been released to 
indicate that the unit is no longer taking temperature measurements. 
 
SELECTING UNITS OF MEASURE 
While taking measurements, press 
the °F button to display the temperature in °F, press the °C button to display 
the temperature in °C. Once the unit has turned off, the next time the trigger 
is pressed, unit of measure will return to the default of °C. 
 
LASER TARGETING 
While taking measurement, press the
button to activate laser targeting.
Aim the laser approximately ½ inch above the desired measurement point.
To turn off laser targeting, press the
button again.
CAUTION: Eye damage may result from direct exposure to laser light. 
 
BACKLIGHT 
While taking measurements, press the
button to turn on the LCD
backlight. Press the
button again to turn off the LCD backlight.
 
DISTANCE SPOT/RATIO 
There are other factors that may affect measurement accuracy. The target 
must completely fill the spot diameter seen by the infrared sensor; otherwise 
readings will be influenced by the surface surrounding the target. The ratio of 
the distance to the size of the spot being measured is 50:1. For example, an 
object’s diameter of 100mm can be measured from 5000mm. 
 
DISPLAY MESSAGES
“
1” will appear on the display when the temperature being measured is
outside the range of the unit. 
 
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 occasionally cause any number of “apparent” 
operational difficulties. Replacing the battery 
with a new fresh battery will solve most difficulties. 
 
BATTERY REPLACEMENT
Erratic readings, faint readings, no display, or a battery symbol appearing on 
the display are all indications that the battery must be replaced. 
 
 
 
 
Locate the indentions on either side of the 
plastic case near the trigger. Open the 
battery compartment by pulling the rubber 
portion of the handle out and away from the 
trigger. Pull hard, it requires a good amount 
of force to open the battery compartment. 
Remove the exhausted battery and replace it 
with a new 9-volt alkaline battery. Close the 
battery cover by snapping it shut.
