• See emissivity information for actual temperatures. Reflective objects
result in lower than actual temperature measurements. These objects
pose a burn hazard.
• Do not look directly into the laser with optical tools (for example,
binoculars, telescopes, microscopes). Optical tools can focus the laser
and be dangerous to the eye.
• Do not look into the laser. Do not point laser directly at persons or
animals or indirectly off reflective surfaces.
• Replace the batteries when the low battery indicator shows to prevent
incorrect measurements.
• Do not use the Product around explosive gas, vapor, or in damp or wet
environments.
• Use the Product only as specified or hazardous laser radiation exposure
can occur.

Note
You cannot save a reading if the memory is full. If you push SET to save a new
reading when the memory is full, the last record flashes twice to remind you that the
memory is full, and the reading is not saved.
To delete a single saved reading:
• In record review status, push and hold SET for approximately 3 seconds. The reading
flashes once and is deleted.
After the deletion, all remaining records move one position forward. For example, if the
deleted record was in position “08”, then the record on “09” becomes the new “08”
record.
To delete all saved readings:
• In record review status, push and hold SET for approximately 10 seconds. At 3 seconds,
the display flashes to warn that all data will be lost. Continue to push SET to delete all
the records. To cancel this operation, release SET before you reach 10 seconds.
Once all records are deleted, the record count returns to “00”.

For Interval monitoring: The Product counts down from the time interval, wakes up
automatically and makes a measurement, and then saves the reading. The Product then goes
to sleep, restarts the count down and repeats the process. The feature automatically turns off
when the memory is full or you turn off the feature. To make repeated measurements at a
specified interval:
1. In HOLD status, push SEL for >3 seconds to enter in the second-level menu.
2. Push SEL until AUTO CAPTURE and INTERVAL show on the display.
3. Push SET to switch the feature on or off.
4. When the feature is on, push or to adjust the displayed value as necessary. The
displayed value is the start value of the countdown counter.
5. Push SEL several times or pull the trigger to exit the setup.
Note
• If the Interval monitoring feature is turned on when Auto Capture is
already on, both features work together. The automatic measurement will
be at the time set for Auto Capture. This allows the user to select the
specified time to start the Interval monitoring measurement.
