Surface Mode Operation
1. Press the button to turn on the device.
2. Point the device at the object you wish to measure the surface temperature of.
3. Press the button. The temperature of the object will be displayed on the screen and the word "HOLD" will appear. The temperature will remain on the screen until the button is pressed again or the unit turns off.
4. To continually take the temperature of a surface, press and hold the button while slowly moving the thermometer over the surface. When the desired area to measure is reached, release the button and the display will read "HOLD" and show the last measured temperature. The temperature will remain on screen until the button is pressed again or the unit turns off.

NOTE: For accurate results be sure to consider emissivity and distance-to-spot ratio which are explained later in the manual. The Escali DH7 is not recommended for use in measuring reflective surfaces as inaccurate results may occur. Inaccuracy may also occur when steam, dust, smoke, etc. is present and obscuring the path to the surface being measured.


Probe Mode Operation
1. Unfold the probe and the unit will automatically switch to Probe Mode.
2. Insert the probe into the item that you wish to take the internal temperature of. The internal temperature measured will display on the screen. For accurate results be sure to insert the probe into the center of the thickest part of the meat.
3. After the measurement has been taken, you can turn the unit off by folding the probe back into the body of the thermometer. If you forget to turn the unit off, the auto-off feature will automatically turn the DH7 off after 3 minutes.

NOTE: If the backlight turns off while using the thermometer you can turn it on again by pressing the button. It will remain on for approximately 25 seconds before turning off again.

CAUTION: The stainless steel probe can get very hot. Always wear heat resistant gloves when handling.

Probe Mode Settings
From Probe Mode you are able to adjust the unit of measure between °F / °C and the increment of measure displayed between one degree and tenth of a degree increments. To enter the setup mode, confirm that you are in Probe Mode and press and hold the MODE key. In the upper righthand corner of the display “°F” or “°C” will begin to flash. Press the button to toggle between °F and °C and press the MODE button to confirm your selection. After you confirm the unit of measure, “0.1” or “1” will begin to flash in the center of the display indicating readout to the tenth of a degree or one degree increments. Press the button to toggle between 0.1 and 1 and press the MODE button to confirm your selection.

NOTE: The selection made for one degree or tenth of a degree increments is only applicable while in Probe Mode. Surface Mode displays only to the tenth of a degree.
