6. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Display shows "Lo" or "Hi" | Temperature is outside the measurable range. | Ensure the thermometer is held at the correct distance (1-5 cm) and pointed at the correct area (forehead center). If measuring an object, ensure it's within the device's object temperature range. |
| Display is dim or flashing | Low battery. | Replace the batteries with new ones. |
| Inaccurate readings | Dirty sensor lens, incorrect distance, or environmental factors. | Clean the sensor lens. Ensure proper distance and stable environment (avoid strong drafts or direct sunlight). Allow the thermometer to acclimate to room temperature for 15-20 minutes if moved from a different environment. |
