6. How to Use
6-1. Loading Batteries
Set or replace the batteries with the following procedure.
(1) Rotate the screw on the battery lid on the back of the main unit
counterclockwise using a blade screwdriver or a coin until it comes
free and then remove the lid.
* Be careful not to be missing the rubber packing that is in the groove
of the battery compartment.
* If the body is wet, remove the battery lid after wiping off the moisture in
order to prevent water invasion into the battery compartment.
*
The screw does not come off the lid. Pulling it by force will cause breakage.
(2) Load the batteries so that each positive or negative terminal faces the correct direction as shown in the
battery compartment.
(3) Reinstall the battery lid after confirming that the rubber packing is properly in the groove and close the lid
in the reverse order of the removal procedure.
Cautions
Firmly attach the battery lid putting the rubber packing in the groove and secure the screw. Otherwise,
waterproofness will not be guaranteed.
The replacement batteries must be new and of the same type. Mixed use of different types or new and old
batteries could cause an explosion or leakage.
Do not dispose of used batteries in a fire. Doing so could cause the batteries to explode, resulting in
injuries or burns.
Keep the batteries out of the reach of children. If a child accidentally swallows a battery, contact a doctor
immediately.
For environmental protection, dispose of used batteries in compliance with local rules and regulations.
This thermometer has a sealed structure. Rechargeable batteries must not be used. Gas could be
generated in the battery, resulting in an explosion or fire.
6-2. Putting Vinyl Cover onto the Thermometer
The unit comes with a vinyl cover to keep it clean, and to protect the unit from damage if dropped.
(1) Open the mouth of the vinyl cover and place the unit in it so that the side with a slit comes to the back of the
unit.
(2) Pass the connector and the wall-mount hook of the unit through the hole on the upper surface of the vinyl
cover, and then insert the strap at the end of the cover into the slit to close the cover.
Note: Static electricity could build up under the vinyl cover, resulting in unstable readings. If this happens,
remove the vinyl cover before using the unit.
6-3. Install the neck strap
Install the neck strap as shown in the following figures.
(1) Run the string through the hook
(2) Pass the strap through the ring string.
