Troubleshooting and Displays
The thermometer has been designed to display feedback/warnings to ensure proper usage and accurate temperature measurement. When an error or indication appears, one “beep” signal will be heard once every 5 seconds for 10 seconds and then the thermometer will turn off automatically. In the event of a malfunction or incorrect temperature measurement, the following warnings will be displayed:
