correct for the temperature differential. The amount of error that can occur when the meter and probe are operating at different temperatures depends on the particular probe design as well as the temperature differential. The maximum error that can occur is about 1% per degree Centigrade for diode probes and about 0.1% per degree Centigrade for thermocouple probes. The change may either increase or decrease the meter reading from the true value, depending on the probe model.
To correct for a significant temperature differential...
1.Access the settings menu by following the procedure described in Accessing the Settings Menu.
2.Press 2 to select TEMP. A new screen will appear that shows the current mode. The default mode is Auto Correct.

3.Press F1 (OK) to continue with the same setting without change.
4.Press F4 (SET) to either set or change to a specific probe temperature.
5.If the meter was set for a specific temperature and you want to return to the auto correct mode, press F1 (AUTO).
6.A new screen will appear that shows two underscored lines where the probe ambient temperature should be entered. Use the numeric keypad to enter the temperature of the probe in degrees Centigrade.
