TEMPERATURE MEASUREMENT
1. Insert the probe plug into the socket at the top
 of the meter. The plug and sockets are keyed
 with a small and large pin. Make certain that the
 plug is inserted correctly. Do not insert the plug
 incorrectly and force the connection.
2. Press the
button to turn the meter on.
3. Press the
button to select °F or °C.
4. Place the probe in contact with the material to
 be measured and read the temperature on 
 the display. 
5. Press the
button again to turn the meter
 off. To conserve battery life, always turn off the
 meter when not in use.
After 20 minutes, the meter will automatically turn 
off to preserve battery life. To disable this feature, 
see the “Automatic Shutoff Disable/Enable” 
section. 
DATA HOLD FUNCTION
To “freeze” the display at the current temperature 
reading, press and release the 
button
(“HOLD” will appear at the top of the display).
Note: While in this mode, pressing the
button will have no
affect and will not change the display.
Press and release the
button a second time
to return to current temperature display (“HOLD” 
will no longer appear on the display).
MEMORY RECORD MODE
Press the 
button to activate the Record mode
and start the timer (“REC” will appear on the display).
While in the Record mode, the meter will record 
the minimum and maximum temperature readings 
achieved along with the relative time (count-up time) 
that the minimum and maximum were achieved.
Note: While in this mode, pressing the
button will have no
affect and will not change the display.
Note: If the Automatic Shutoff feature has not been 
disabled, the meter will turn off automatically after 
20 minutes. For long term monitoring, disable the 
Automatic Shutoff feature. (See the “Automatic 
Shutoff Disable” section.).
Press and hold the
button for 3 seconds to
exit the Record mode (“REC” will no longer appear 
on the display).
The minimum and maximum temperature recordings 
are automatically cleared once the Record mode 
has been exited.
MEMORY RECALL
1. While in the Record mode, press the 
 button to display the maximum temperature and 
 relative time (count-up time) that the maximum
 temperature was achieved. (“MAX” will appear
 on the display.)
2. Press the
button a second time to display
 the minimum temperature and relative time
 (count-up time) that the minimum temperature
 was achieved. (“MIN” will appear on the display.)
3. Press the
button a third time to return to
 the current temperature display and relative 
 time (count-up time).
AUTOMATIC SHUTOFF DISABLE
The Automatic Shutoff feature will turn the meter 
off after 20 minutes to preserve battery life. This 
feature is automatically enabled each time the 
meter is powered on, regardless of whether the 
feature was disabled previously.
To disable the Automatic Shutoff feature:
While the meter is turned off, press and hold the 
button, then press and release the
button. Continue to press and hold the
button while the meter turns on. Once “n” appears 
on the display (indicating that the Automatic Shutoff 
feature has been disabled), release the 
button. The meter will then display the current 
temperature.
With the Automatic Shutoff feature disabled, 
the meter will remain on until the 
button is
pressed, or until the battery is fully drained.
RELATIVE MEASUREMENT MODE
Press and hold the 
button for 3 seconds to
activate the relative measurement mode (“REL” will 
appear on the display. When the relative measure-
ment mode is activated, the display will show the 
“relative zero” based on the temperature that was 
being measured when the mode was entered. The 
display will then indicate the temperature difference 
from the “relative zero” value.
Example--
If the temperature being measured is 25.0 °C 
when the relative measurement mode is entered, 
the meter will set 25.0 °C as the “relative zero” 
and the display will show 0.0 °C as long as the 
temperature being measured is 25.0 °C. If the 
temperature rises to 27.5 °C, the display will show 
2.5 °C. If the temperature falls to 20.0 °C, the 
display will show -5.0 °C.
Note: While in this mode, pressing the
button will have no
affect and will not change the display.
To exit the relative measurement mode, press 
and release the 
button (“REL” will no longer
appear on the display.)
MEMORY RECORD - RELATIVE MEASUREMENT
While in the relative measurement mode, press the 
button to activate the Record mode and start
the timer (“REC” will appear on the display).
While in the Record mode during relative 
measurement, the meter will record the minimum 
and maximum temperature difference from the 
“relative zero” value achieved along with the 
relative time (count-up time) that the minimum and 
maximum were achieved.
Note: If the Automatic Shutoff feature has not been 
disabled, the meter will turn off automatically after 
20 minutes. For long term monitoring, disable the 
Automatic Shutoff feature. (See the “Automatic 
Shutoff Disable/Enable” section.).
Press and hold the
button for 3 seconds to
exit the Record mode (“REC” will no longer appear 
on the display).
The minimum and maximum temperature recordings 
are automatically cleared once the Record mode 
has been exited.
MEMORY RECALL - RELATIVE MEASUREMENT
1. While in the Record mode during relative
 measurement, press the 
button to display
 the maximum temperature difference and
 relative time (count-up time) that the maximum
 temperature difference was achieved. (“MAX”
 will appear on the display.)
2. Press the
button a second time to
 display the minimum temperature difference and
 relative time (count-up time) that the minimum
 temperature difference was achieved. (“MIN” will
 appear on the display.)
3. Press the
button a third time to return to
 the current relative temperature display and 
 relative time (count-up time).
COUNT-UP TIMER
The count-up timer feature offers a relative time 
reference while taking temperature measurements.
To turn on the count-up timer and begin timing, 
press the 
button.
To stop timing and turn off the count-up timer, 
press the 
button a second time.
BACKLIGHT
Press the 
button to turn on the display
backlight when in dim or dark conditions. The 
light will automatically turn of after 30 seconds to 
preserve battery life.
THERMOCOUPLES
The meter is supplied with a Type-K thermocouple 
but is also able to accept Type-J and Type-T 
thermocouples.
Thermocouple range:
Type-J = -328 to 940°F/-200 to 760°C
Type-T = -328 to 730°F/-200 to 390°C
To change the thermocouple type:
1. While the meter is turned off, press and hold
 the 
button, then press and release the
button. Continue to press and hold the
button while the meter turns on. Once the
 display appears with only “K”, “J”, or “T”, release
 the 
button.
2. Press the
button to select the desired
thermocouple type (K, J, or T).
3. With the desired thermocouple type on the 
 display, press the 
button. “S” will
 momentarily appear on the display indicating
 that the setting has been saved and the meter
 will then display the current temperature.
