Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up your device, insert the provided batteries into the compartment. Always ensure the sensor lens is clean and free of fingerprints or smudges, as this is critical for infrared accuracy. If the sensor becomes dirty, gently wipe it with a soft, dry cloth or a cotton swab dampened with a small amount of alcohol. Avoid submerging the device in water or exposing it to extreme temperature fluctuations. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. To ensure longevity, replace the batteries when the low-battery indicator icon appears on the screen.
