Key factors affecting lifespan:
1. Usage frequency and environment: The more frequently it is used and the more extreme the environment (e.g., high temperature and humidity), the faster it wears out, potentially shortening its lifespan to around 3 years.
2. Battery life: Batteries generally last 1-2 years. Insufficient power will affect accuracy and may even cause the device to malfunction.
3. Sensor accuracy: Sensors will gradually age, leading to a decrease in accuracy; this is a natural process.
4. Maintenance: Regular cleaning and proper storage can effectively extend the lifespan.
How to extend lifespan?
1. Regular calibration: It is recommended to calibrate every six months or one year using an ice-water mixture (0℃).
2. Proper storage: Store in a dry, cool place. Remember to remove the battery if not using the device for an extended period.
3. Avoid physical damage: Handle with care and avoid impacts to the probe.
