• Dimensions: 161.05 x 40.20 x 29.32 mm (6.34 x 1.58 x 1.15 inch)
• Weight: 117.9 grams (4.16 oz) including batteries (AAA*2 pcs)
• Continuous use: 48 hours

Product Usage Instructions

1. Before using the thermometer, ensure that it is protected from electrostatic discharge and thermal shock caused by large or abrupt ambient temperature changes.
2. Allow the thermometer to stabilize for 30 minutes before use if it has been exposed to thermal shock.
3. Do not leave the thermometer on or near objects of high temperature.
4. Keep the thermometer out of reach of children.
5. If the thermometer displays an error message between 5-9, reset it by turning it off, removing the battery, waiting for a minimum of one minute, reinserting the battery, and turning it on. If other error messages occur, contact Scigiene Corporation for assistance.
6. If the temperature being measured is outside of the measurement range, the thermometer will display either “Hi” or “Lo”.
7. When the low battery icon appears, replace the batteries immediately with AAA, 1.5V batteries. Turn off the thermometer before replacing the batteries and ensure that the battery cover is in place before turning it back on.
8. To start the Bluetooth broadcast, turn on the thermometer and press the BLE Key. During the broadcast, if pairing failed, the Bluetooth of the thermometer will be in sleep mode until the broadcast time is over. When pairing is successful, the Bluetooth of the thermometer will be in sleep mode until the thermometer is turned off. Once disconnected, the thermometer will reactivate the broadcast for 30 seconds.
9. For Android users, download the LightBlue APP from Google Play to operate the Bluetooth app.

Thermometer Operating Instructions

Scigiene’s Bluetooth HACCP thermometer is a high-quality waterproof folding thermocouple thermometer with Standard HACCP zone lights and can be recalibrated to meet ISO/HACCP and SQF requirements. Powered by a replaceable AAA 1.5V batteries, the thermometer is a handy temperature measurement device for a whole range of measurement and control applications. Information that is useful and important for understanding the function is highlighted in the instructions text.

1. LCD
2. Thermocouple Probe
3. Battery Cover
4. Slide Switch
5. Trimmer Resistor
6. Battery Cover Pad
7. BLE Key

OPERATION

1. Power on
   Swing out the foldable thermocouple probe (②) greater than an angle of 20˚ for use.

2. Display LCD
   All necessary information is displayed on the LCD.
   The individual symbols have the following meanings:

3. Display for current measured values

4. minus (negative measured values)

5. Battery status indicator

6. Temperature unit

7. BLE sign

8. ˚C/˚F
   Please open the battery cover. Insert a pointed object to press left the slide switch (④), you can change the LCD display from ˚C to ˚F. Oppositely, press right the slide switch to change the LCD display from ˚F to ˚C.

9. Power off
   The thermocouple probe (②) swings back to switch off.

TRIMMER RESISTOR
Fine tune accuracy through the trimmer resistor (⑤).

HACCP CHECK

The “HACCP CHECK” feature is incorporated in our thermometer temperature to indicate critical temperature zone.
The LED backlight indicates a food product stays in a safe or unsafe HACCP “Danger Zone” temperature. The green and red LED backlight will always be lit before power off.
A green LED backlight indicates a safe cool or frozen condition below 4˚C (40˚F) or indicates a safe holding temperature above 60˚C (140˚F).
When temperature is between 4˚C and 60˚C, the red LED backlight indicates that the temperature is fallen within the HACCP “Danger Zone” from 4˚C to 60˚C (40~140˚F).

CAUTION
The thermometer should be protected from the following:

1. Electro Static Discharge

2. “Thermal shock” caused by large or abrupt ambient temperature changes.

   • Allow 30 minutes for unit to stabilize before use when exposed to “thermal shock”.
     Do not leave the unit on or near objects of high temperature.

3. Keep out of reach of all children.

STORAGE & CLEANING

Clean the device with a damp cloth. Do not use any solvents such as Acetone as they corrode the plastic. Isopropyl alcohol may be used to disinfect. Do not submerge any part of the thermometer. The thermometer should be stored at room temperature between -20˚C to +65˚F (-4˚C to +149˚F).

LCD ERROR MESSAGES

The thermometer incorporates visual diagnostic messages as follows:

‘Er2’ is displayed when the thermometer is exposed to rapid changes in the ambient temperature.
‘Er3’ is displayed when the ambient temperature exceeds the range of 0˚C~50˚C. The thermometer should be allowed plenty of time (minimum 30 minutes) to stabilize to the working/room temperature.
Error 5~9, for all other error messages it is necessary to reset the thermometer. To reset it, turn the instrument off, remove the battery and wait for a minimum of one minute, reinsert the battery and turn on. If the error message remains please contact the Scigiene Corporation for further assistance.
‘Hi’ or ‘Lo’ is displayed when the temperature being measured is outside of the measurement range.

BATTERIES

The thermometer incorporates visual low battery indication as follows :

BATTERY REPLACEMENT
When the ‘Low Battery’ icon indicates the battery is low, the battery should be replaced immediately with AAA, 1.5V batteries.
Note: You must turn the instrument off (swing back the temperature thermocouple probe ②) before replacing the batteries. Place the battery cover ③ before power on (swing out the foldable thermocouple ②) to prevent the instable power supply of loose batteries.

1. Pull out the Battery Cover Pad (⑥)
2. Loosen the screw and pull out the Battery Cover (③)
3. Replace and reinstall with new batteries
4. Place the Battery Cover (③) back and fasten the screw
5. Plug the Battery Cover Pad (⑥) to avoid failure of waterproof

If the device is not to be used for a long time, turn the power off, remove and store the batteries in a cool, dry place.
Dispose of used batteries properly and keep away from children.
Disposal of batteries into fire or hot oven, or mechanically crushing or cutting of batteries, can result in an explosion.
Leaving batteries in an extremely high temperature surrounding environment can result in an explosion or the leakage of flammable liquid or gas. Risk of explosion if battery is replaced by an incorrect type.
