When nothing is displayed on the display if attempted, it may also be battery exhaustion. Replace the battery with new one. Open the battery cover as below figure shows, and insert a new battery with correct polarity, and then close the cover.
7. Setting emissivity (reference) 7. Setting emissivity (reference) Quantity of infrared emitted radiation from objects depends on the objects’ material, surface conditions, measuring temperatures and so on. The table below shows emissivity of some objects. Please note that these values are just for reference.
