Hold the thermometer by the handle grip and point it towards the surface to be measured. 

2)

 

Pull and hold the trigger to turn the thermometer on, the “SCAN” icon will appear and blink when 
measurement starts. 

3)

 

The surface temperature being measured will be displayed on the LCD screen. 

4)

 

Release the trigger, the “HOLD” icon will appear and the reading will stay on the display screen. 

5)

 

The thermometer will automatically shut off 25 seconds after the trigger is released. 

 

Note: If the thermometer is to be used in ambient temperature after a large temperature change wait 30 minutes for the 

thermometer to adjust to ambient temperature. 

The laser is designed for aiming only, it can be shut off while operating in shorter distances to save battery (Section 3.5.3).
