Handle Grip
and point it toward the
surface to be measured.
②
Pull and hold the

testing. The display will light up if the battery is in good
condition. Replace the battery if the display does not light
up.
③
Release the Trigger, the HOLD display icon will appear
on the LCD indicating that the reading is being held. In
HOLD status, press the UP button to turn the laser on or
off. Press the DOWN button to turn the backlight on or
off.
④
The meter will automatically power down approximately 7
seconds after the trigger has been released.(Unless the
unit is locked on)
Note: Measurement considerations
Holding the meter by its handle, point the IR Sensor
toward the objects whose temperature you want to
measure. The meter automatically compensates for
temperature deviations from ambient temperature. Keep
in mind that it will take up to 30 minutes to adjust to wide
ambient temperatures that are to be measured, followed
by high temperature measurements, (several minutes)
are required after the low (and before the high)
temperature measurements are made.
This is a result of the cooling process, which must take
place for the IR sensor to work effectively.
