consequences resulting from them.
• Please pay particular attention to the safety notices!
• Please keep this instruction manual safe for future reference.
2. Field of operation and all the benefits of your new instrument at a glance
• For contact-free measuring of surface temperature even of hot, hazardous, or hard-to-
reach objects.
3. For your safety
• This product is exclusively intended for the field of application described above. It should
only be used as described within these instructions.
• Unauthorized repairs, modifications or changes to the product are prohibited and might
result in dangerous laser radiation
• The product is not recommended for taking body temperature.
Caution!
Risk of injury:
• The product is equipped with a class 2 laser. If the sign on the device is not written in the
language of your country, please affix the sign below onto the device.
Never look directly into the laser beam.
Do not direct the laser beam into the eyes of a person or animal.
It can cause permanent damage to the eye.
Wavelength: 630-670nm Output: <1mW
• Do not point the laser beam at mirrors or other reflective surfaces. The uncontrolled
reflected beam may strike people or animals.
• Do not aim too close at hot or dangerous targets.
• Keep this device and the battery out of reach of children.
• Small parts can be swallowed by children (under three years old).
• Batteries contain harmful acids and may be hazardous if swallowed. If a battery is swal-
lowed, this can lead to serious internal burns and death within two hours. If you suspect
a battery could have been swallowed or otherwise caught in the body, seek medical help
immediately.
• Batteries must not be thrown into a fire, short-circuited, taken apart or recharged.
Risk of explosion!
• Low batteries should be changed as soon as possible to prevent damage caused by leak-
ing. Make sure the polarities are correct. Wear chemical-resistant protective gloves and
safety glasses when handling leaking batteries.

Important information on product safety!
• Do not expose the device to extreme temperatures, vibrations or shocks.
• Protect the unit from large or abrupt ambient temperature changes.
• Do not leave the unit near objects of high temperature.
• Do not immerse the unit in water. Water can penetrate and cause malfunction.
• Protect it from moisture.
• Check the housing before using the device. Do not use the device if it seems to be dam-
aged. Check for cracks or missing plastic parts.
• Steam, dust, smoke, etc., can prevent accurate measurement by obstructing the unit's
optics.
EMC/RFI
• Protect the unit from EMI (Electro Magnetic Interference) from induction heaters and
microwave ovens and Electro Static Discharge. Readings may be affected if the unit is
operated within a radio frequency electromagnetic field strength of approximately 3 volts
per meter, but the performance of the instrument will not be permanently affected.
4. Getting started
• Open the battery compartment.
• The battery compartment is inside the handle. Lift the battery compartment lid.
• Insert the 9 volt battery. Ensure that the battery polarity is correct.
• The °C/°F slide is located above the battery.
• To change the temperature display from °C (default) to °F, slide the °C/°F slide with a
pointed object to the right.
• he temperature is displayed in degrees Fahrenheit (°F).
• Put the battery back into the battery compartment. Please pay attention to the connection
wires.
• Close the battery compartment again. The cover is properly inserted in the housing, as
soon as a click is heard.
5. Use
• Press and hold the measuring button activate the measuring process. SCAN appears on
the display.
• The backlight is automatically activated.
• With the laser the measuring point can be focused exactly.
• Release the measuring button.
• On the display appears HOLD and the latest measured temperature for about 10 seconds.
• When the device is not used, it will automatically switch off after 10 seconds.
6. Distance, Spot Size, and Field of View
• As the distance (D) from the object increases, the spot size (S) of the area measured by
the unit becomes larger a ratio D:S = 12:1 (e.g. 120 cm distance = 10 cm spot size). To
get the most accurate temperature reading, aim at the target as near as possible.
• Should the distance be too great, there is a risk that the temperature has also been taken
outside the aimed target.
Please take note of the following:
• Not recommended for use in measuring shiny or polished metal surfaces (stainless steel,
aluminum, etc.).
