Noncontact Food Safety Thermometer
Proper Application and Operation
Note
The infrared temperature measurements are used for screening and measuring surface temperatures only. Critical internal temperatures must be verified by using the probe.
Mode Selection
The SELECT button has two functions. Pressing the SELECT button after the display has gone blank will recall the last display. Pressing the SELECT button with an active display cycles through the three different operating modes: Noncontact, Probe, and Countdown Timer (Figure 2).

Probe Mode
To measure the internal temperature of an object, extend the probe (see Figure 3) and press the SELECT button until the Probe Icon is displayed (see Figure 4). Insert the probe at least 12 mm (1/2 ") into the target and press the ON button to measure the core temperature.
The Probe Icon on the display will blink for approximately 15 seconds as the probe comes to equilibrium with the object being measured. Three short beeps will sound to indicate the reading is complete and the temperature will be shown on the display. When the highest accuracy is required, it is advisable to repeat the measurement cycle to insure the probe has fully stabilized and reached equilibrium with the object.
