Thank you for purchasing a Taylor® Digital Thermometer. Please read this instruction manual carefully before use.
Keep these instructions handy for future reference.
First Use and Battery Information
1. Some models have a static cling label on the lens to prevent scratching. Please remove before use.
2. The thermometer operates on one CR1225 3 Volt lithium battery (included). To install the battery:
● Open the battery compartment by turning the cover on the back of the thermometer counterclockwise, using a
coin in the slot.
Be sure the arrow on the battery door points to the open lock symbol. Remove battery door.
● Insert the battery with the "+" sign facing up.
● Replace the battery door so that the arrow points to the open lock symbol. Then use a coin to turn the battery
door so the arrow points to the closed lock symbol. Note: If the battery door is not closed properly, water can get into
the battery compartment causing the unit to malfunction.
● Change the battery when the display becomes dim.
NOTE:
Electrostatic interference may affect first use of the thermometer. If the thermometer does not initially work,
remove the battery and reinstall it.
NOTE:
please recycle or dispose of batteries per local regulations.

PRECAUTION:
Do not dispose of batteries in fire. Batteries may explode or leak. Remove the battery if the unit will
not be used for a long period of time.
