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.
Biotech Mode
The biotech function is used to select the operational mode of the thermometer and to verify the installed software version. All
operational mode settings in biotech mode are stored in nonvolatile memory and retained through system power cycles, such as
changing batteries. All factory calibration parameters are also stored in nonvolatile memory.
The factory default settings are shown below:
Temperature mode °C (unlocked)
Site mode Ear
Site text On
The biotech mode is accessed by pressing and holding the timer and °C/°F buttons for four seconds. All LCD segments will light for
one second, the thermometer will issue a single beep, and the display will show scrolling dashes. Pressing the timer button cycles
through the biotech modes. When options are available within a mode, the °C/°F button cycles through the options.
Pressing the timer button after the site text display will return the user to the installed software version. To exit biotech mode,
two options are available: (1) press and hold the °C/°F and timer buttons for one second, or (2) the device will automatically exit
biotech mode after about 30 seconds of inactivity. Any changes are saved.
The biotech mode sequence is shown below:
