1.Plug the thermocouple into the input connector.

2.Place the thermocouple in a known, stable temperature environment (such as an ice bath or a dry well calibrator).

3.Allow the readings to stabilize.

4.In Setup change the offset until the primary display reading matches the calibration temperature. (See "Changing Setup Options.")
