6. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| No display/Thermometer won't turn on | Batteries are dead or incorrectly inserted. | Replace batteries with new AAA batteries, ensuring correct polarity. |
| Inaccurate readings | Sensor is dirty; incorrect measurement distance; environmental factors (drafts, direct sunlight). | Clean the sensor lens; ensure proper distance (1-2 inches); measure in a stable environment. |
| Display shows 'Lo' or 'Hi' | Temperature is outside the measurable range for the selected mode. | Ensure you are in the correct mode (Body/Object) for the temperature being measured. |
| Memory recall not working | No readings stored or memory is full (older readings are overwritten). | Take new readings; the device stores the last 50 readings. |
