1.
Using the touchscreen,
tap the Settings icon to open the settings menu.
2.
Tap Parameters. A submenu opens.

SURFACES WITH AN EMISSIVITY OF < 0.60 MAKE RELIABLE AND CONSISTENT
MEASUREMENTS PROBLEMATIC. THE LOWER THE EMISSIVITY, THE GREATER
POTENTIAL FOR ERROR WITHIN THE DEVICE’S CALCULATIONS. ERRORS MAY
STILL OCCUR EVEN WHEN ADJUSTMENTS ARE PERFORMED PROPERLY.
SEE SECTION 9-2 EMISSIVITY FOR A TABLE OF COMMON EMISSIVITY VALUES.
