Thermometer Display Icons and Alarms
Thermometer operation is communicated to the user via the LCD display and an audible device contained inside the thermometer
case. After the probe cover is installed or the batteries have been changed, the thermometer will perform a system reset. The
thermometer will perform an internal test to verify that the system components are functioning properly.

If the display shows a system error 4 and the system error icon, the ambient conditions are changing too rapidly for the device to
be used. Allow the device to equilibrate for 20 minutes before using.
If the display shows any other system error, then reset the thermometer by installing a probe cover. If the system error does not
clear, then contact the factory for available service options. The applicable manufacturer addresses are located in Section XII,
Customer Service.
