OPERATING THE THERMOMETER A. Temperature Measurement To measure temperature, point the thermometer at an object and pull the Trigger. You can use the laser pointer to help aim the thermometer. Be sure to consider distance-to-spot size ratio and field of view (see “Distance and Spot Size”...
B. Locating a Hot or Cold Spot To find a hot or cold spot, aim the thermometer outside the desired area. Then, slowly scan across the area with an up and down motion until you locate the hot or cold spot. C.
D. Field of View For accurate measurements, make sure that the target is larger than the unit’s spot size. The smaller the target, the closer you should be to it (see following Figure). E. Emissivity Emissivity describes the energy-emitting characteristics of materials. Most organic materials and painted or oxidized surfaces have an emissivity of approximately 0.95, the default setting for the thermometer.

tape or paint to reach the same temperature as the surface beneath it. Measure the temperature of the tape or painted surface. If you cannot paint or use tape, then you can improve the accuracy of your measurements by either numerically adjusting emissivity or by using the Emissivity Menu to access a table of some common materials.
F. Switching between °C and °F To switch, press the button until SET is displayed. Press ▲and▼to switch between °C and °F. (Display sample below) G. Setting Max / Min Select Max mode by press the button until MAX is display. Press Trigger to measure.
H. Data Logging This feature is to store the data measured. To store data, at either RT, MAX or MIN mode, press either▲or▼. The Thermometer will show data no. Pull the Trigger together with button to store the measurement. To retrieve, at RT, MAX or MIN mode, press either▲or▼to view the stored value Note: Data stored can only override previous stored results.
