7. Maintenance

7.1 Battery Replacement

When the battery indicator on the display shows low power, replace the 3 AAA batteries. Refer to section 4.1 for battery installation instructions.

7.2 Cleaning and Care

To ensure accurate readings and prolong the life of your device:

• Wipe the device with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or immerse the device in water.
• Keep the external probe clean and free from debris.
• Avoid exposing the device to extreme temperatures, direct sunlight, or high humidity for extended periods.

8. Troubleshooting

• Device not turning on:
  Check if the insulating tab has been removed from the battery compartment. Ensure batteries are inserted correctly with the correct polarity and are not depleted. Replace batteries if necessary.
• Bluetooth connection issues:
  Ensure Bluetooth is enabled on your smartphone and the device is in pairing mode (Bluetooth icon flashing). Make sure the device is within the effective Bluetooth range (approx. 30m/98.5ft) and there are no significant obstructions. Restart both the device and the app, then try pairing again.
• Inaccurate readings:
  Ensure the sensors (internal and external) are clean and unobstructed. Avoid placing the device near heat sources, vents, or in direct sunlight, which can affect readings. Allow the device to stabilize in the environment for a few minutes after placement.
• Data not logging or exporting:
  Verify that the device is connected to the app. Check the recording interval settings in the app. Ensure sufficient storage space on your smartphone for exported files.
• No power switch to turn off:
