INSTRUMENT OPERATION
The instrument is switched on by unfolding the probe and turned off by folding the probe until fully located in the rubber probe retainer. The probe should not be rotated more than 180 degrees as damage will occur. It is recommended to store the probe in the closed position, when not in use. This instrument will automatically sleep if no movement is detected; any movement such as handling or using the instrument will cause the unit to wake up.
Apply the tip of the probe to the substance, medium or surface to be measured. The sensor is located at the tip of the probe, therefore the minimum depth insertion should be 3 mm. The probe tip is very sharp and therefore caution should be taken when using it. Care should also be taken when closing the probe after taking hot temperatures as the probe may remain hot. ****
**INTELLIGENT BACKLIGHT
**
This instrument features a light sensor which will automatically turn the backlight on in low light conditions. The backlight will remain on for 10 seconds and automatically turn off if no movement is detected.

BATTERY REPLACEMENT
A low battery symbol ‘ ’ will appear when the battery (1 x AAA) needs replacing, in this condition the backlight is set to a low level to save battery life. The instrument continues to measure accurately but we recommend that the battery is changed as soon as possible.
To replace the battery, loosen the battery cover screw using a Pozi (PZ1) screwdriver to remove the battery cover. Replace with a single AAA battery noting the polarity. Tighten the battery cover screw until the battery cover is snug onto the seal. Do not over-tighten. For further information on changing the battery visit thermapen.co.uk
