Emissivity
Emissivity describes the energy-emitting characteristics of mate-
rials. Most organic materials and painted or oxidized surfaces have
an emissivity of about 0.95.
If possible, to compensate for inaccurate readings that may result
from measuring shinymetal surfaces, cover the surface to be me-
asured with masking tape or flat black paint (<150
0
C / 302
0
F ) and
use the high emissivity setting. Allow time for the tape or paint to re -
ach the same temperatures as the surface beneath it. Measure the
temperature of the tape or painted surface.
Changing the battery
To install or change the 9V battery, open the battery compartment
the battery.
Cleaning the lens
Blow off loose particles using clean compressed air. Carefully wipe
the surface with a moist cotton swab. The swab may be moistened
with water.
Cleaning the housing
Use soap and water on a damp sponge or soft cloth. To avoid dama-
ge to the Thermometer, do not soak the unit into water.
Caution
To avoid damaging the Thermometer, do NOT submerge it in
water.
