Changing the Temperature Scale

Your thermometer is set at the factory to display Fahrenheit (°F) 

temperature measurements. If you wish to switch to Celsius (°C) and/or 

back from Celsius to Fahrenheit, follow the following steps: 
1)  Press the Power Button to turn on the thermometer. 
2)  Open the Battery Door - use your finger to lift the 

battery door open. 

3)  Find inside the battery compartment a small pin 

hole with letters C/F nearby. 

4)  When the display is in the Ready state with <OK> 

displayed, insert a paper clip wire into the hole and 

press once to switch temperature display.

5)  Follow the steps in the previous “How to Take a 

Temperature” section of this manual.
