Remember to ensure the person whose temperature you’re taking is relaxed and has not been exposed to cold or hot temperatures immediately before the measurement;

Object Temperature Measurement

Your Mobi Thermometer isn’t just for body temperature; it can also accurately measure the temperature of various objects. This is particularly useful for checking the temperature of food, liquids, or even surfaces. Here’s how to use it for object temperature measurement⁚

1. Power On⁚ Start by turning on the thermometer by pressing the ON/Scan button. The screen will display “Lo” and you’ll hear three beeps indicating it’s ready.
2. Select Object Mode⁚ Press and hold the Ear Button for 2-3 seconds to switch the thermometer into Object Temperature Measurement mode. The screen will display “Obj”, confirming the mode change.
3. Clean the Probe⁚ Before taking a reading, ensure the probe is clean. Wipe it with a cotton swab dipped in rubbing alcohol to prevent contamination and ensure accuracy.
4. Insert the Probe⁚ Gently insert the probe into the object you want to measure. For liquids, ensure the probe is fully submerged. For food, insert the probe into the thickest part.
5. Hold Steady⁚ Keep the probe in the object for a few seconds until the thermometer beeps three times. This indicates it’s taken a reading.
6. Read the Temperature⁚ Once the beeps have stopped, the thermometer will display the measured temperature on the screen.
7. Remove the Probe⁚ Carefully remove the probe from the object.

Remember, the thermometer’s probe is designed for measuring surface temperatures. Avoid inserting it too deep into objects, especially those with delicate surfaces, as this could damage the probe or the object.

For accurate results, ensure the probe is making good contact with the surface of the object you’re measuring. If you get a “HI” reading, it might indicate the temperature is higher than the thermometer’s range or the probe is too close to a very hot source.

Troubleshooting⁚ “HI” Reading

If your Mobi thermometer displays “HI” on the screen, it means the temperature being measured is exceeding the thermometer’s measurement range. This is a common occurrence when measuring very hot objects or surfaces. Here’s a breakdown of why you might see this reading and how to troubleshoot it⁚

• Object Temperature⁚ The most likely reason for a “HI” reading is that the object you’re measuring is simply too hot for the thermometer to register. The Mobi thermometer has a specific temperature range it can measure, and exceeding that range will result in the “HI” display.
• Probe Placement⁚ The probe should be in proper contact with the object’s surface. If it’s too close to a very hot source or inserted too far into a very hot object, it can lead to a “HI” reading. Try adjusting the probe’s position or using a different measurement method, such as holding the probe a short distance away from the object.
• Malfunctioning Probe⁚ In rare cases, the thermometer’s probe might be malfunctioning. If you’re consistently getting “HI” readings even when measuring objects within the thermometer’s range, consider contacting Mobi Support for assistance.

If you’re unsure about the cause of the “HI” reading, it’s best to consult the Mobi Thermometer’s user manual or contact Mobi Support for guidance. They can provide specific troubleshooting steps based on your situation.

Remember, safety is paramount when working with potentially hot objects. Avoid touching extremely hot surfaces directly and use proper safety precautions when handling them.

Battery Replacement

Your Mobi thermometer relies on batteries to power its operation. When the batteries begin to run low, you’ll notice a decrease in the thermometer’s performance, including slower readings and potentially inaccurate results. To ensure your Mobi thermometer functions optimally, it’s crucial to replace the batteries promptly when needed.

Here’s a step-by-step guide to replacing the batteries in your Mobi thermometer⁚

1. Locate the Battery Compartment⁚ The battery compartment is typically located on the back or underside of the thermometer. You may need to slide a cover or release a latch to access the compartment.
2. Remove Old Batteries⁚ Carefully remove the old batteries from the compartment. Note the correct polarity of the batteries (positive and negative ends) as you remove them, as this will be important when inserting the new ones.
3. Insert New Batteries⁚ Insert the new batteries into the compartment, ensuring they are correctly aligned with the polarity markings. Double-check that the positive and negative ends match the markings in the compartment.
4. Secure the Battery Compartment⁚ Close the battery compartment securely, making sure the cover or latch is properly in place.
5. Power On the Thermometer⁚ Turn on your Mobi thermometer and verify that it’s working correctly.

Always use the correct type and size of batteries recommended in your Mobi thermometer’s user manual. Avoid using old or damaged batteries, as they can cause performance issues or even damage the thermometer.

Dispose of old batteries responsibly according to your local regulations.
