InfraRed Measurement Considerations When taking IR measurements the meter automatically compensates for ambient temperature changes. Note that it may take up to 30 minutes to adjust to extremely wide ambient changes. Low temperature measurements quickly followed by high temperature measurements may require several minutes to stabilize as a result of the IR sensor cooling process.
Maintenance Cleaning and storage 1. The meter should be cleaned with a damp cloth and mild detergent when necessary. Do not use solvents or abrasives. 2. Store the meter in an area with moderate temperature and humidity. Battery Replacement The battery symbol appears on the lower right of the LCD when the 9V battery needs to be replaced.
WARNING: To avoid electric shock, do not operate the meter until the battery cover is in place and fastened securely. NOTE:: If your meter does not work properly, check the fuses and batteries to make sure that they are still good and that they are properly inserted.

Emissivity Most organic materials and painted or oxidized surfaces have an emissivity of 0.95 (fixed setting in the model RHT70). Inaccurate readings will result when measuring shiny or polished surfaces. To compensate, cover the surface under test with masking tape or flat black paint.
