Noncontact (Infrared) Mode
Pressing and holding the ON button starts
the food safety thermometer in noncontact
(infrared) measurement mode. The measure-
ment will continue as long as the ON button is
depressed, indicated by the blinking “SCAN”.
When the button is released, “HOLD” appears
on the display and the last measurement
remains visible for 7 seconds before the
display goes blank.
The unit will display the temperature of an
area highlighted by the target illuminator. The
maximum reading is indicated in the lower
portion of the display.

Note:
The infrared temperature measurements
are used for screening and measuring surface
temperatures only. Critical internal tempera-
tures must be verified by using the probe.
Mode Selection
The MODE button has two functions. Pressing
the MODE button after the display has gone
blank will recall the last display. Pressing the
MODE button with an active display cycles
through the three different operating modes:
Noncontact, Probe, and Countdown Timer.
