T1 Value- Do not measure beyond the temperature limits of the thermocouple probe
being used.
- Do not use thermocouple probe in places where presence of electric
shock is suspected.
- Avoid using the thermocouple probe to measure materials that may cause
rust or corrosion. If used, wipe the thermocouple probe with a dry clean
cloth after every use.
- Do not attempt to disassemble or bend the miniature connector of thethermocouple probe.
- Avoid bending, dropping or hitting the thermocouple probe, even when
not in use.
- When measuring surfaces, make sure that the thermocouple probe is incontact with the surface perpendicularly to record accurate measurements.
- In measuring surfaces of non-metallic materials, transfer of heat takes
longer than normal, therefore, make measurement time longer to get.

1)

Insert the Battery into the Battery Box.
(Refer to section 7.Battery Replacement).
Insert the thermocouple probe into the "T1 probe socket".
Press the [POWER/ESC] Button to switch-on the device.
Engage the thermocouple probe to the object to be measured.
The temperature reading will then be shown on the main display.
Press the [POWER/ESC] Button to switch-off the device.

3600 seconds, Press the [Setting/Logger] Button once to start the DataLogger function.
The REC symbol will flash with beep per sampling time period and savethe data into the memory.
When 0 second is selected as sampling time, the data will be saved one
time into the memory each time the [Setting/Logger] Button is pressed.
The "REC" symbol will flash with beep at the same time the[Setting/Logger] button is pressed.
While the Data Logger function is executed, press the [Setting/Logger]
Button once to stop the data logger function.
