9.  Maintenance 

 

The accuracy of measurement is affected by dust or dirt on the surface of 
the infrared lens. Prevent dirt or dust from adhering to the surface of the 
lens during use or storage.     
When  removing  dirt  from  the  infrared  lens,  use  a  blower  for  camera 
lenses. If stubborn stains persist, clean the surface of the lens softly with 
a swab moistened with lens cleaning liquid. 
 
Note: Never clean the infrared lens with water or detergent. Doing so may affect the performance 

of the lens and cause inaccurate measurements. 

 
 

 

10.  Error Messages 
 

Error message 

Cause 

Countermeasure 

 

Measuring temperature is 
lower than -21°C 

The unit cannot measure temperatures 
below -20°C. The temperature of the 
object must be -20°C or higher. 

(Sample) 

 
 

  (figure: 0 to 9) 

The element inside the unit 
may have been damaged. 

If the error message is still displayed even 
after replacing the battery and turning the 
power ON, contact us or the shop from 
which the product was purchased. 

 
 
 

11.  Troubleshooting 

 

Refer to the table below when a problem occurs before consulting your dealer for repair. 
 

Problem 

Possible Cause 

Remedy 

Power does not turn on.  Battery power is insufficient. 

Replace the battery (6F22 "006P"). 
See "Replacing the Battery". 

If the power does not turn on 
even after replacing the 
battery, an element inside the 
thermometer may have been 
damaged. 

If the element inside the unit has 
been damaged by impact or drop, the 
unit must be repaired.   
Contact us or the dealer from which 
the product was purchased.   

Laser marker does not 
operate. 

Laser marker is off. 

Set the laser marker on.   
See "Setting the Laser Marker"   

Backlight does not light.  Backlight is off. 

Set the backlight on.   
See "Setting the Backlight". 

Temperature reading

 

is abnormal. 

Battery power is insufficient. 

Replace the battery (6F22 "006P"). 
See "Replacing the Battery". 

The object is too small or 
large for the measurement 
spot size 

Check the relationship between the 
distance and measurement spot size. 
See "Measurement Spot Size". 

Temperature of the object is 
fluctuating. 

Try measuring the temperature of an 
object whose temperature is stable to 
check the reading.   

Dirt or dust is adhered to the 
surface of the infrared lens. 

Clean the infrared lens. 
See "Maintenance".
