7.3. Installing or Replacing Batteries
Before using the thermometer, you will need to install batteries. If the
batteries are low and need to be replaced, the low battery indicator will
display in the bottom left of the display. If there is not enough power to
operate the thermometer, the battery icon will flash, accompanied by
a beep, and the device will power off.
•
Install two AAA batteries as shown in the illustration below. The
cathode is the negative (-) end of the battery. The anode is the
positive (+) end of the battery.
•
After installing the batteries wait 10 minutes before using the device.
Battery Notes
•
Dispose of used batteries promptly and properly. Do not burn or
bury them.
•
Use only fresh batteries of the required size and type.
•
Replace batteries when they are low. Do not mix old and new
batteries or batteries of different types, capacities, or chemistries.
•
If you do not plan to use the device for a long period of time, remove
the batteries. Batteries can leak chemicals that can damage
electronic parts.
•
For best results, we recommend using RadioShack alkaline batteries.
7.4. Securing the Batteries
You can use the included screwdriver and screw to more securely
close the battery latch. This added step will ensure that the battery
latch does not unintentionally open during operation, causing the
installed batteries to fall out of the thermometer.
While this step is optional, it is recommended, especially if the
thermometer is used often or around children.
