BATTERY REPLACEMENT
When
Checktemp
®
-Dip
cannot be switched on or
the display fades, remove the two screws, remove
the battery cover and change the 1.5V AAA bat-
tery, while paying attention to its polarity.
Replace the cover and tighten the two screws.
Battery should only be replaced in a safe area
and using an alkaline 1.5V AAA type battery.
OPERATION
• Turn the
Checktemp
®
-Dip
on and dip the probe in
the sample to be measured.
• Do NOT wrench the probe. If the cable is dam-
aged, the meter may have to be replaced.
• Wait a few seconds for the display to stabilize.
• After use, always switch the meter off
• Variations in readings or a fading display can
indicate a low battery level (see “Battery Re-
placement” section for details).
•
Checktemp
®
-Dip
should not be used for continu-
ous measurement at high temperatures. In fact,
even though
Checktemp
®
-Dip
can reach 100ºC
(212°F), prolonged measurements at high tem-
perature will reduce the sensor life dramatically.
The ideal operating temperature is in the -20 to
50ºC (-4 to 120ºF) range.
CALIBRATION CHECK SWITCH
Move the Cal-check
®
switch on the back of the
meter to the “Test” position.
The display should show 0.0°C (±0.5°C) or 32ºF
(±0.9°F).
Contact your dealer or the nearest Hanna Service
Center for recalibration, if necessary.
Move the Cal-check switch back to the “Run” po-
sition, and the display will return to normal mea-
surement mode.
