I. Try basic repairs first.

Replace the battery: Low battery is a common cause. Replace the battery and test again.

Clean the probe: Gently wipe the probe with an alcohol swab to ensure good contact.

Check the environment: Avoid operating in areas with strong electromagnetic fields or drastic temperature changes.

II. Try professional calibration methods.

If the basic methods are ineffective, you can:

Contact the manufacturer or a professional organization: They have professional equipment and blackbody radiation sources and can perform full-range calibration.

Comparative calibration: Measure simultaneously with a certified mercury thermometer or medical electronic thermometer, take the average value as a reference, and adjust according to the difference.

III. Assess if replacement is needed.

If calibration fails or the device is damaged, replacement is recommended. Choose products from reputable sources and cross-validate measurement results.

IV. Daily maintenance tips.

Regular calibration: It is recommended to calibrate every six months to one year.

Proper storage: Remove the battery when not in use for extended periods and store in a dry, cool place.

Proper Use: Ensure the measurement area is dry and clean, the probe is in full contact, and allow sufficient measurement time.
