seconds to enter the Instrument settings menu. Press the Mode button again
to display the resolution (either 1° or 0.1°). Press the Scan button to change
the resolution setting and then press the Mode button to save and exit - ‘End’
is displayed.
EMISSIVITY – The Thermapen IR is supplied with a default emissivity setting
of 0.95, that can be adjusted between 0.10 and 1.00 when in IR mode.
To adjust, press the scan button to turn on IR mode. Hold down the Mode
button for 3 seconds to enter the IR settings menu. Press the Scan button to
increase the value in 0.01 steps or hold the Scan button down to increase
the value in 0.1 steps. Once you have set the required emissivity press the
Mode button twice to save and exit - ‘End’ is displayed.

www.thermoworks.com. Please note: Non-contact infrared thermometers
are not recommended for measuring the temperature of shiny or polished
metals.
AMBIENT – While in IR mode press and hold the Mode button for 3 seconds
to enter the IR settings menu. Press the Mode button again to view the
ambient temperature. To exit the menu, press the Mode button once more -
‘End’ is displayed.
LCD ERROR MESSAGES (PROBE & IR MODES) – If the ambient
temperature falls outside the operational range, then either ‘Ambient Lo’
or ‘Ambient Hi’ will be displayed. This will continue until the ambient
temperature has returned within the limits. The thermometer should be
allowed plenty of time (minimum 30 minutes) to stabilize to the working/
room temperature. ‘Hi’ or ‘Lo’ will be displayed when the temperature being
measured is outside of the instrument’s measurement range. ‘Err’ will be
displayed if the instrument has developed a fault.
AUTO OFF/SLEEP MODE – The instrument will automatically switch off after
30 seconds. The timer is reset with any button push in IR mode or with any
movement in Probe mode. While in a settings menu the sleep interval is 10
minutes.
WAKE – When in Probe mode the instrument will wake from sleep when
movement is detected.
BATTERY REPLACEMENT – A battery symbol ‘ ’ indicates that the
batteries will need replacing. The instrument continues to measure
accurately but we recommend that the batteries be changed as soon as
possible. To replace the batteries, undo the retaining screw and lift the
battery cover. Remove the batteries by pulling the battery retaining clip back
while holding the unit upside down. Replace both batteries, placing them
positive side up, and ensuring the edge of the batteries are clipped under the
plastic lugs near the cover hinge. Finally, replace cover and tighten retaining
screw.
