Do not point the laser toward the eyes or face of a person or animal. The laser's potential to cause damage is retained for hundreds of feet. Be careful not to let the beam reflect off a surface to your eyes. Caution

the trigger to take a reading. Read the measured temperature on the LCD. The meter powers OFF automatically approximately 6 seconds after the trigger is released. Selecting Temperature units (C/F) Select temperature units by pulling and holding the trigger, then press the C/F key until the desired units are shown on the LCD. Data Hold The meter automatically holds the last temperature reading on the LCD for 6 seconds after the trigger is released. Backlight LCD Select backlight by first pulling the trigger and then pressing the BACKLIGHT key. Repeat the procedure to turn the backlight off. Laser Pointer To turn the laser pointer ON, press the LASER key while pulling the trigger. Repeat the procedure to turn the laser OFF. Measurement Considerations Point the IR Sensor toward the object whose temperature is to be measured. The meter automatically compensates for deviations from ambient temperature. However, the meter will take up to 30 minutes to adjust to wide ambient temp. changes. This results from the need to acclimate the IR sensor. Battery Replacement A flashing display indicates that the battery voltage has fallen into the critical region (6.5 to 7.5 V). Reliable readings can be obtained for several hours after the first appearance of the low battery indication. Open the Battery Compartment and remove the battery, then install a new 9V battery and reinstall the cover. Maintenance Case cleaning Use caution with a damp cloth to clean the exterior housing, ensure no water or soap is allowed inside the meter and on the infrared lens. Lens cleaning Keep the lens clean to ensure reading accuracy. Use low pressure compressed air to remove any particles on the lens. If the contamination can not be removed with air, use a soft cotton swab. Any swab should be slightly damp, and very light pressure should be applied to the lens. Do not use solvents to clean the lens. Operation
