Operating Instructions
The Taylor 6709E thermometer is designed for straightforward operation:
- Temperature Display: The thermometer displays the current ambient temperature in Fahrenheit.
- Reading the Dial: Observe the position of the black needle on the large, clearly marked dial. The bold numbers and distinct markings allow for easy reading from a distance.
- Continuous Monitoring: The thermometer continuously measures and displays the outdoor temperature without requiring any manual adjustments after initial setup.
Maintenance
- Cleaning: To clean the thermometer, gently wipe the surface with a clean, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners, solvents, or immerse the unit in water, as this can damage the internal components and affect accuracy.
- Mounting Check: Periodically inspect the mounting hardware to ensure the thermometer remains securely attached to its surface.
- Storage: If storing the thermometer for an extended period, keep it in a dry, protected environment away from extreme temperatures.
Troubleshooting
- Inaccurate Readings:
- Ensure the thermometer is not in direct sunlight or near any heat sources (e.g., vents, hot walls) that could artificially inflate the temperature reading.
- Allow the thermometer sufficient time (at least 30 minutes) to acclimate to the ambient temperature of its location.
- Physical Damage: If the thermometer appears physically damaged or is not functioning correctly, do not attempt to repair it yourself. Contact customer support for assistance.
