KHAI THÁC. Xử lý sự cố
7.1 "Lo" Displayed on Screen
If the thermometer displays "Lo" instead of a temperature reading, this typically indicates low battery power. Replace the AAA batteries with fresh ones. Note that some 1.2V rechargeable batteries may trigger this warning even when fully charged, as the device is optimized for 1.5V alkaline batteries.
7.2 Đọc không chính xác
- Ensure the probe tip is inserted into the thickest part of the food and not touching bone, fat, or gristle.
- Verify the probe is fully inserted to the recommended depth.
- Perform a calibration check using an ice bath (refer to Section 5).
- Thay pin nếu pin yếu.
