USER MANUAL
Introduction
Pocketherm P125W, P125W/82, P250W & P250FW are pocket-sized waterproof
handheld folding probe digital thermometers. Pocketherm thermometers are
intended for quick checks on frozen, chilled, or cooked food in catering
environments.
In addition, P250W and P250FW can be used for checking frying oil
temperatures.
There is an audible and visual indication when temperature measurements fall
into any of three HACCP temperature zones for frozen food, chilled food, and
cooked meat.

Operation
Switching On/Off
Swing out the probe to switch on the thermometer. Swing back the probe to
switch off. Clip the tip behind the retainer to avoid damage to clothing or
injury. To conserve battery life, the thermometer will automatically switch
off after 30 minutes. Fold back then unfold the probe to continue use.
Low Battery Indication
Low battery is indicated by an empty battery symbol appearing in the top left
corner of the display. Replace the battery as soon as possible after this
symbol appears. If the battery is too low, BATT is displayed briefly before
the instrument switches itself off.
Taking Measurements
Insert the tip of the probe approximately 20mm (3/4”) into the food item to be
checked. Allow a few seconds for the probe to reach a stable temperature then
note the reading.
If the probed item is within one of three HACCP zones then the beeper will
sound and the corresponding indicator will flash as below:
