OPERATIONAL GUIDE
INITIAL PREPARATION
Remove the battery cover on the back of the thermometer.
Unwrap the supplied 9V battery, connect it to the battery
clip and reattach the cover.
Connect a K-type thermocouple probe to the meter.
Note: In HI 9044, the probe is fixed.
To switch ON, press the ON/OFF key on
the front of the meter.
The thermometer will carry out a self
diagnostic test routine, the LCD will
show all segments for a few seconds
(or as long as ON/OFF is held),
followed by the percentage indica-
tion of the remaining battery life.
The thermometer then enters normal measurement mode.
If a temperature probe is plugged in, the meter displays
the measured temperature automatically switching to the
resolution suitable to the temperature range; i.e. 0.1° up
to 199.9°C (399.9°F), or 1° above.
If no probe is plugged in, or if
reading is over-range, the display
shows flashing dashes.
If a measurement is slightly over the range of the meter
specifications, the display flashes the closest full-scale value.
To switch the meter OFF, press the ON/OFF key.
MEASURING SCALE (°C/°F)
The instrument is factory set to the °C scale, but measurements
can be performed in either the Celsius or Fahrenheit scale.
Press the °C/°F button to select the
desired scale.
HOLD MODE
The HOLD function is activated by
pressing the HOLD key.
The measured temperature is held on
the display until HOLD is pressed again.
The "H" tag blinks on the display to
indicate the HOLD mode.
Note: Although the display is frozen, internally the meter
continues measuring and updating Hi and Lo values.

HIGH/LOW TEMPERATURES
The maximum and minimum tem-
peratures are continuously monitored
and displayed on the lower portion
of the LCD.
Note: When reading goes over-range, the Hi and Lo values
display dashes until cleared.
CLEAR FUNCTION
Upon pressing the CLEAR key, the
High/Low values may be cleared at
any time during measurement and
the current reading is assigned to
the highest and lowest temperature
values.
Recommendations for Users
Before using these products, make sure that they are entirely suitable for the environment in which
they are used.
Operation of these instruments in residential areas could cause unacceptable interference to radio
and TV equipment, requiring the operator to take all necessary steps to correct interference.
Any variation introduced by the user to the supplied equipment may degrade the instruments' EMC
performance.
To avoid electrical shock, do not use these instruments when voltage at the measurement surface
exceeds 24VAC or 60VDC.
To avoid damage or burns, do not perform any measurement in microwave ovens.

The instrument is powered by a 9 V battery and is provided
with the Battery Error Prevention System (BEPS), which
turns the unit off when a low battery signal is detected.
When the remaining battery level is
less than 10%, a warning symbol
blinks on the display to indicate a
low battery condition.
It is recommended to replace the battery as soon as the low
battery condition is detected.
Remove the cover on the meter's back by applying pressure
in the indicated direction. Unplug the rundown battery
and replace it with a new one.
Battery replacement must only take place in a non-hazard-
ous area using a 9V alkaline battery.
