V. OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS

•Measuring Trigger

To measure a temperature, point the unit at an object and pull the trigger. Be sure to consider distance-to-spot size ratio and field of view. The laser is used for aiming the target for reference. When the laser is on, you can switch between laser dot and circle by moving a lever in front of optics. Laser dot is an indication of the center of the field of view. Laser circle is an indication of the perimeter of the field of view. The temperature reading will be updated on the LCD. When the operator releases the trigger, the reading will automatically be held on the LCD for 10 more seconds. After 10 seconds this thermometer will power down itself to save battery.

•Distance to Spot Ratio (D/S)

You have to make sure that the detection area you want to measure is larger than the required spot size to get a correct reading. The temperature you get is an average temperature of the detected region. The smaller the target, the shorter distance is required for the measuring. ￿ (Please refer to the diagram on the side of the unit)
