2. Nga Tohutohu Haumaru
- Always read the user manual thoroughly before operating the device.
- Do not point the infrared laser directly at eyes or reflective surfaces.
- Ensure the penetration probe is clean before and after each use, especially when measuring food items.
- Kaua e tukuna te taputapu ki te wera nui, ki te ra tika ranei mo te wa roa.
- Use only the specified battery type (2 x AAA batteries).
- Tiakina te taputapu kia kore e taea e nga tamariki.
- Makahia nga pākahiko me te taputapu kia rite ki nga ture o te rohe.
3. Tatūnga
3.1 Tāuta Pūhiko
- Kimihia te wahanga pākahiko kei muri o te taputapu.
- Whakatuwheratia te uhi o te wahanga pākahiko.
- Whakauruhia nga pākahiko AAA e rua, kia tika te polarity (+/-).
- Katia kia mau te uhi o te wahanga pākahiko.

3.2 Hiko Tuatahi
The device automatically powers on when the penetration probe is unfolded. Ensure the display illuminates upon unfolding.
4. Nga Tohutohu Whakahaere
4.1 Infrared (IR) Measurement (Non-Contact)
For quick surface temperature readings, use the infrared sensor. This is ideal for checking temperatures of packaged goods or surfaces without direct contact.
- Ensure the penetration probe is folded in.
- Point the front of the thermometer towards the surface to be measured.
- Press the "ON" button to activate the infrared measurement and laser pointer. The laser dots indicate the measurement area.
- Pānuihia te pāmahana e whakaatuhia ana i te mata LCD.

4.2 Penetration Probe Measurement (Contact)
For accurate core temperature readings of semi-solid or liquid substances, use the foldable penetration probe.
- Unfold the penetration probe. The device will automatically power on.
- Insert the probe into the substance to be measured, ensuring the tip is fully immersed to the desired depth.
- Wait for the reading to stabilize on the display. The device has a fast reaction time (t99 = 10 seconds in moving liquid).

4.3 Hold and Min/Max Functions
- Tohu: Press the "HOLD" button to freeze the current temperature reading on the display. Press again to release.
- MIN / MAX: While in measurement mode, press the "MIN/MAX" button to cycle through the minimum and maximum temperatures recorded during the current measurement session.
4.4 Whakaweto Hiko
To turn off the device, fold the penetration probe back into its housing. The device will automatically power down.
5. Tiaki
5.1 Te horoi
The Testo 104-IR is waterproof (IP65 rated), allowing for easy cleaning under running water or with a damp cloth. Ensure the probe is thoroughly cleaned and disinfected after each use, especially when used with food products.

5.2 Whakakapinga Pūhiko
When the battery indicator on the display shows low power, replace the batteries as described in Section 3.1. Always use fresh AAA batteries.
5.3 Rokiroki
Store the thermometer in a clean, dry place at room temperature. Ensure the probe is folded in to protect it from damage.
6. Te Raru
| Raruraru | Take pea | Rongoā |
|---|---|---|
| Kaore e tahuna te taputapu. | Kua mate nga pākahiko, kua he ranei te whakaurunga. | Tirohia te polarity pākahiko whakakapi ranei pākahiko. |
| Ko nga panui kore tika. | Probe not fully immersed; IR sensor obstructed; Emissivity setting incorrect (for IR). | Ensure probe is fully immersed. Clean IR sensor. Refer to advanced settings for emissivity adjustment if applicable (not detailed in basic manual). |
