Errors and troubleshooting
Error message
Situation
When 20% of battery life is left, the
display flashes the low battery
warning symbol; however, the device
can still work until the battery life has
0% left.
If the steady battery icon is
the only symbol shown on the display,
the device cannot work. The battery
should be replaced immediately.
This message displays when the
measured temperature is lower than
34.4 °C (93.9 °F) or higher than 42.2 °C
(108 °F) or when the room
temperature is outside the operating
range of 15 °C – 40 °C (59 °F – 104 °F).
Blank display. Thermometer does not
have power.
Care and cleaning
Use an alcohol swab or cotton swab moistened with alcohol (70% isopropyl) to clean the
thermometer casing and the measuring probe. Ensure that no liquid enters the interior of the
thermometer. Never use abrasive cleaning agents, thinners or benzene for cleaning and never
immerse the instrument in water or other cleaning liquids. Wait 10 minutes after cleaning before
taking a temperature measurement. Make sure to replace the protective cap after use to prevent
scratches or damage from occurring to the thermometer.
Never insert a sharp object into the scanner area or any other open surface on the thermometer.
Replacing the batteries
The No touch + touch thermometer comes with 2 AA batteries. Replace with 2 new AA batteries
when the flashing battery symbol appears on the LCD display. To change the batteries, slide open
the battery cover and remove batteries. Replace the batteries being sure to align properly as
indicated inside the battery compartment. Remove the battery from the product if it is not required
for extended periods of time in order to avoid damage to the thermometer resulting from a leaking
battery.
To protect the environment, dispose of empty batteries at appropriate collection sites
according to national or local regulations.

Solution
Replace batteries.
Replace batteries.
Re-measure the temperature,
carefully following the instructions
in "How to use" section.
Please check if the batteries have
been loaded correctly. Also check
polarity (<+> and <–>) of batteries.
Contact customer service if
thermometer still does not function.
