Note
The infrared temperature measurements are used for screening
and measuring surface temperatures only. Critical internal
temperatures must be verified by using the probe.
Mode Selection
The SELECT button has two functions. Pressing the SELECT button after
the display has gone blank will recall the last display. Pressing the SELECT
button with an active display cycles through the three different operating
modes: Noncontact, Probe, and Countdown Timer (Figure 2).

To measure the internal temperature of an object, extend the probe (see
Figure 3) and press the SELECT button until the Probe Icon is displayed
(see Figure 4). Insert the probe at least 12 mm (1/2 ") into the target and
press the ON button to measure the core temperature.
The Probe Icon on the display will blink for approximately 15 seconds as
the probe comes to equilibrium with the object being measured. Three
short beeps will sound to indicate the reading is complete and the
temperature will be shown on the display. When the highest accuracy is
required, it is advisable to repeat the measurement cycle to insure the
probe has fully stabilized and reached equilibrium with the object.
