Taylor 9877FDA Instruction Manual

Thank you for purchasing a Taylor® Digital Thermometer. Please read this instruction manual carefully before use.
Keep these instructions handy for future reference.
1. Some models have a static cling label on the lens to prevent scratching. Please remove before use.
2. The thermometer operates on one CR1225 3 Volt lithium battery (included). To install the battery:
● Open the battery compartment by turning the cover on the back of the thermometer counterclockwise, using a
coin in the slot. Be sure the arrow on the battery door points to the open lock symbol. Remove battery door.
● Insert the battery with the "+" sign facing up.
● Replace the battery door so that the arrow points to the open lock symbol. Then use a coin to turn the battery
door so the arrow points to the closed lock symbol. Note: If the battery door is not closed properly, water can get into
the battery compartment causing the unit to malfunction.
● Change the battery when the display becomes dim.
NOTE: Electrostatic interference may affect first use of the thermometer. If the thermometer does not initially work,
remove the battery and reinstall it.
NOTE: please recycle or dispose of batteries per local regulations.
WARNING: Batteries may pose a choking hazard. As with all small items, do not let children handle batteries. If
swallowed, seek medical attention immediately.
PRECAUTION: Do not dispose of batteries in fire. Batteries may explode or leak. Remove the battery if the unit will
not be used for a long period of time.
1. Press ON/OFF to turn the unit on. Press and hold ON/OFF to turn the unit off. (Auto-off feature: The unit will turn
off to conserve battery power after 5 minutes of non-use or if there is no change in temperature and the temperature
reading is lower than 122°F (50°C)).
2. Press °F/°C to switch between Fahrenheit or Celsius temperature readings.
3. Hold Function: The HOLD function "freezes" the current temperature reading on the display so the thermometer
can be removed from the food and still show the reading. Press HOLD/▼ to hold the temperature display ("HOLD"
will appear). Press again to release.
4. Min/Max Function: Press MAX/▲ to get the highest (maximum) temperature reading. ("MAX" will appear.) Press
again to get the lowest (minimum) temperature reading. ("MIN" will appear.) Press again to release. To clear the
max/min memory, remove the battery for 1 minute and then replace it.
5. Recalibration Function: Press and hold SET ("SET" will appear). Then press MAX/▲ and HOLD/▼ at the same
time. The temperature display blinks. Suspend probe at least 1" into a 'slush' of crushed ice and water (32°F / 0°C)
for at least 30 seconds. Press MAX/▲ or HOLD/▼ to set the calibration back to 32ºF/0ºC. Press and hold SET to
confirm calibration ("---" and "OK" will appear). Calibration is complete.
NOTE: If no buttons are pressed for 30 seconds, the unit will automatically return to normal mode. To restore the
default calibration temperature, remove the battery for 1 minute and replace it.
