5.1 How Does The Infrared Thermometer Work?

The thermometer detects infrared energy, which is emitted by all objects. 
This infrared energy is captured by the thermometer and processed through a
sensor. The sensor generates a measurable voltage output which is in proportion
to the target temperature. The output is processed and displayed on the LCD. 

5.2 Instructions For Use

Pull and hold trigger (laser pointer is off by default) to
activate the thermometer. Point the thermometer
toward the target object and depress the trigger. On
releasing the trigger the reading will display for 10
seconds before the auto off function is activated. While the trigger is depressed,
alternative formats and features can be accessed via the keypad. 
Pressing the laser button       (see Fig. 3) activates /deactivates the laser facility. 
The temperature format can be changed from Fahrenheit (default) to Celsius by
means of the °

°C

C/

°F

F button (see Fig. 3). Pressing this button allows the user to

work between the two temperature scales. A backlight feature       is also
available (see Fig. 3), allowing the user to work in reduced light conditions. The
M

E key will let you check temperature variations between ‘Average’ (default),

‘Maximum’, ‘Minimum’ or ‘Maximum/Minimum’ reading. Just press the M

MO

DE

E

key consecutively to achieve the desired setting.
