• Battery: Replace the CR2032 battery when the display becomes dim or the unit fails to power on.
• Avoid Extreme Temperatures: Do not leave the thermometer in extremely hot environments (e.g., inside an oven or on a hot grill surface) for extended periods, as this can damage electronic components.
