- Press the °C/°F button once. The display will toggle between the two units.
4.4 Data Hold Function
To hold the current temperature reading on the display:
- Press the HOLD button once. The current reading will be frozen, and the "HOLD" icon along with "°C" or "°F" will flash on the display.
- To release the hold function and return to normal display, press the HOLD button once again.
4.5 Maximum and Minimum Temperature Memory
The thermometer can store the maximum and minimum temperatures recorded during a measurement session.
- Press the MAX/MIN button once to display the maximum temperature reading. The "MAX" icon will flash.
- Press the MAX/MIN button again to display the minimum temperature reading. The "MIN" icon will flash.
