Using the Milwaukee 2269-20 is a breeze. First, insert the 9V battery that comes with the package. You can use the infrared function to measure surface temperatures from -40°F to 1472°F. Just point the gun at the surface you want to measure and get an instant reading on the clear LCD display. For more accurate readings in some cases, you can use the included K - type thermocouple for contact measurement from -40°F to 1022°F. The gun has useful modes like hold, max, min, avg, and diff, which you can switch between as needed. You can also set up an audible high/low temperature alert according to your requirements. When it comes to storage, it can log 99 measurements, so you can keep track of performance over time. If you need to mount it on a tripod or other accessories, use the 1/4 - 20 thread. As for maintenance, keep it away from extreme temperatures and moisture. If it gets dirty, use a soft, dry cloth to clean it. And remember, because it can survive 6 - foot drops, it's durable, but still handle it with care to ensure its long - term performance.
