Setup, Compatibility & Care
To get started, insert the two included 1.5V AA batteries into the designated compartment on the handle. The device uses simple button controls to cycle through the measurement modes. Keep the sensor lens clean by gently wiping it with a soft cloth moistened with a small amount of rubbing alcohol; never submerge the device in water or use abrasive cleaners. When not in use, store the device in a stable environment between -20°C and 55°C to protect the internal sensors from damage. Always allow the thermometer to acclimate to the ambient room temperature for at least 30 minutes before taking a measurement if it has been moved between different environments.
