Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| No display or weak display | Low battery or incorrect battery installation. | Replace the battery with a new DC9V battery, ensuring correct polarity. |
| Inaccurate readings | Sensor lens is dirty; incorrect measurement distance; environmental factors (e.g., drafts); recent change in ambient temperature. | Clean the sensor lens; ensure proper measurement distance (1-5 cm); allow the thermometer to acclimate to room temperature for 15-20 minutes before use; avoid measuring in drafts. |
| "Lo" or "Hi" displayed | Temperature is outside the measuring range. | Ensure the temperature being measured is within the specified range (Body: 32.0℃~42.9℃). |
| Thermometer does not respond to button presses | Device frozen or malfunction. | Remove and reinsert the battery to reset the device. If the problem persists, contact customer support. |
