Operation 5. If the thermocouple is not connected when the Type-K mode is selected, the display will show dashes in place of a reading. If the measurement is out of range, the display will show ‘OL’. 6. To find the optimum emissivity setting for a given surface, take an IR tem- perature measurement and then take a Type-K measurement. - Page 15 Operation 4. To send/view/delete images, access the Gallery mode in the main menu. In the Gallery, scroll through the stored images with the arrows and open an image with the MENU button. Once an image is opened, press MENU again to see the SEND/CANCEL/DELETE/DELETE ALL IMAGES menu. Select the SEND command to transmit an image, via Bluetooth®, to a paired mobile device.
