2.2 Temperature Unit Conversion
Press the '°C/°F' button to switch between Celsius and Fahrenheit temperature units on the display.
2.3 Alarm Setting
The device allows setting two alarm values (AL1 and AL2). To set an alarm:
- Press the ALARM button to enter the setting state. The display will show "AL1" for the first alarm setting mode.
- Use the Increment (up arrow) and Decrement (down arrow) buttons to adjust the alarm value. A short press changes the value by 0.1, while a long press changes it by 1.
- Press the ALARM button again to enter "AL2" second alarm setting mode. Adjust as needed.
- Press the MODE button to exit the alarm setting mode.
2.4 Auto Power Off (APO)
The device features an Auto Power Off function. To toggle this feature:
- Press the MODE button. The display will show "APO ON" or "APO OFF".
- Use the Increment or Decrement buttons to switch between "APO ON" (auto power off enabled) and "APO OFF" (auto power off disabled).
- Press the MODE button again to confirm your selection and exit.
