1. Wait until the device turns off automatically after 20 seconds.
2. Using a suitable Phillips screwdriver, unscrew the fastening screws at the back of the
housing.
3. Remove the battery compartment cover.
4. Connect a 9 V block battery to the matching terminal inside the battery compartment. The
9 V block battery is designed so that it can only be connected in one position to prevent
incorrect polarity. Do not use force when inserting the battery.
5. Close the battery compartment by tightening the fastening screws.
Replace the battery when the battery icon appears on the top right side of the display.
INITIAL OPERATION
1. The product can be turned on with any key. The function last set and the temperature reading
last measured will appear on the display.
The device will turn off automatically after approx. 20 seconds of inactivity.
2. Using the MODE key, select the infrared temperature measurement, insertion probe
measurement or the timer function.
MEASURING TEMPERATURE
a) Infrared temperature measurement
1. Select the infrared temperature measurement by using the MODE key.
2. Press the SET key to switch between the temperature units Celsius and Fahrenheit.
3. Point the IR sensor as vertically to the measuring surface as possible to achieve the best
measuring results.
4. Press and hold the MEAS key to measure the temperature. The word "SCAN" appears on
the display. When you release the MEAS key, the readings last shown on the display will be
frozen. The word "HOLD" appears on the display.
5. The measured temperature will be shown in the top area of the display. In the lower display
area, the maximum measurement value (MAX) will be shown.
b) Insertion probe measurement
1. Press and hold the black release button (open lock icon) and flip the insertion probe
downwards. Ensure the insertion probe is fully folded out and clicks into place.
2. Select insertion probe measurement by using the MODE key. On the right-hand side of the
display the insertion probe icon will appear.
3. Press the SET key to switch between the temperature units Celsius and Fahrenheit.
4. Insert and/or hold the insertion probe into/in the medium to be measured (max. 4 cm).
5. Press and hold the MEAS key to measure the temperature. The word "SCAN" appears on
the display.
6. When you release the MEAS key, the readings last shown on the display will be frozen. The

7. Remove the insertion probe from the medium when the measurement is completed.
8. Carefully clean the insertion probe after each use!
9. Fold the insertion probe back up while pressing and holding the black release button.
If the measured temperature is lower than -40 ºC, "----" is shown on the display.
c) HACCP temperature limit display
To the left of the display, there are three LED indicators:
• When the top green LED (60 ºC / 140 ºF) flashes, there is no or low risk of bacteria in
foodstuffs.
• If the middle red LED (4 to 60 ºC / 40 to 140 ºF) flashes, there is a serious risk of bacteria.
• If the lower green LED (4 ºC / 40 ºF) flashes, there is no or low risk of bacteria in foodstuffs.
