3.11 Digital Thermometer
The digital thermometer eliminates many of the problems associated with a liquid in glass
thermometer, such as hazardous materials and column separation.
To activate a new thermometer, pull out the plastic tab from the battery compartment and remove
the plastic sheath.
The thermometer is now ready to use and may be inserted into any rack location that will not
interfere with the barcode reader or its cable.
When the thermometer is not being read, turn it off by pressing the On/Off button. This will prolong
the battery life.
