Operating Instructions
Taking a Temperature Reading:
- Power On: Press and hold the trigger button located on the handle to power on the thermometer. The backlit LCD display will illuminate.
- Aim the Laser: Point the thermometer's laser beam at the surface you wish to measure. For Ooni pizza ovens, aim at the center of the baking stone.
- Read Temperature: While holding the trigger, the temperature will be displayed on the LCD screen. The display provides numerical and color-coded temperature information.
- Release Trigger: Release the trigger to hold the last measured temperature on the display. The device will automatically power off after a period of inactivity to conserve battery.

Adjusting Emissivity:
The thermometer is pre-calibrated for Ooni cordierite baking stones. For other surfaces (e.g., steel, different materials), you may need to adjust the emissivity setting for accurate readings. Refer to the thermometer's on-screen menu or specific instructions for emissivity adjustment, typically accessed via dedicated buttons on the device.
Using Temperature Scan Mode:
To utilize the Temperature Scan Mode, continuously hold the trigger button while sweeping the thermometer across the surface. The display will dynamically update to show minimum, maximum, and average temperatures encountered during the scan, providing a comprehensive temperature profile of the area.

Maintenance
- Cleaning: Wipe the thermometer clean with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or immerse the device in water.
- Storage: Store the thermometer in a dry, cool place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. The included hang loop can be used for convenient storage.
- Battery Replacement: Replace batteries when the low battery indicator appears on the display. Always use new AAA batteries.

Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| No display/Device won't turn on | Dead or incorrectly installed batteries. | Check battery polarity. Replace batteries with new AAA batteries. |
| Inaccurate readings | Incorrect emissivity setting for the surface being measured; sensor obstruction; device too far from target. | Adjust emissivity setting. Ensure sensor lens is clean. Move closer to the target surface. |
| Laser not visible | Laser function disabled; bright ambient light. | Check device settings to ensure laser is enabled. Use in less bright conditions if possible. |
