Temperature measurement without ambient compensation
If you are working in a constantly varying environment, 
where ambient temperatures are not constant, do the 
following:
1 Press and hold   for more than 1 second to select the 
0 °C compensation ( ). This allows a quick measurement 
of the relative temperature.
2 Avoid contact between the thermocouple probe and the 
surface to be measured.
3 After a constant reading is obtained, press   to set the 
reading as the relative reference temperature.
4 Touch the surface to be measured with the thermocouple 
probe and read the display.
