Operation Instruction

NOTE: After abrupt ambient temperature changes, allow instrument temperature to stabilize for 20 minutes before using for measurement.

1. Put the instrument with enough battery power in the hand, press the SHIFT ON/OFF key to turn the power on and enter into the measuring mode.
2. If the instrument is connected to the thermocouple, it will display the thermocouple temperature of the port T1 or T2. otherwise, it will display OL.
3. You can Press the function key to change temperature unit, select T1-T2/MAX/MIN/HOLD mode and K/J type, set Hi/Lo alarm, and store data. (refer to “function keys”) HOLD
4. Press the Light key >2sec. to turn the back light on or off.
5. Press the SHIFT ON/OFF key >2sec. to turn the power OFF. If you still need more operations, please see the description of function keys.
