Notes about Temperature:

When the watch is worn on the wrist, your body temperature will affect the temperature
reading and the accuracy will decrease.
•
When the ambient temperature changes rapidly, the MFJ-185 may take up to 30 minutes to
achieve an accurate reading.
•
For the most accurate temperature reading, remove the watch from your wrist and place it in
the environment to be measured.

Do not expose the temperature to direct sunlight. Exposure to direct sunlight can cause the
temperature to read higher than the actual temperature and not be accurate.
