How the Thermometer Works
This thermometer is a non-contact infrared thermometer. It measures the sur-
face temperature of a non-translucent object by detecting the infrared energy
emitted by the object. The laser is used for aiming purposes only.

Warning:
This thermometer is not recommended for use in measuring the tem-
perature of shiny or polished metals. It may be possible to compen-
sate for inaccurate readings that may result from measuring shiny
metal surfaces by covering the surface with tape or flat black paint
and directing the laser at the taped or painted surface.
