4. Tatūnga
4.1 Tāuta Pūhiko
- Locate the battery compartment cover on the handle of the device.
- Whakatuwheratia te uhi ma te retireti, te wetewete ranei.
- Insert the 2 AA batteries and 1 9V battery, ensuring correct polarity (+ and -) as indicated inside the compartment.
- Katia kia mau te uhi o te wahanga pākahiko.
4.2 Te Whakakā-Tūatahi me te Kōwhiringa Wāhanga
- Press the measurement trigger to turn on the device. The display will illuminate.
- To switch between Celsius (°C) and Fahrenheit (°F), press the dedicated unit selection button (usually labeled °C/°F or similar) located near the display.
- Kua reri te taputapu mo te whakamahi.
5. Nga Tohutohu Whakahaere
5.1 Te Whanganga
- Point the infrared sensor towards the surface you wish to measure.
- Press and hold the measurement trigger. The 8-point laser will activate, indicating the approximate measurement area.
- The temperature reading will appear on the display. Release the trigger to hold the reading.
- The device has an optics ratio of 12:1, meaning that at a distance of 12 units, the measurement spot diameter is 1 unit. For example, at 12 meters, the spot diameter is 1 meter. Ensure you are at an appropriate distance for accurate readings.

5.2 Aratau Ine
The PTIA 1 offers different operating modes:
- Inenga ngawari: This is the default mode for quick, direct temperature readings of a surface.
- Reference Measurement: In this mode, you can set a reference temperature. The device will then display color indications and signals to highlight differences between the measured value and the set reference value, which is useful for identifying anomalies like thermal bridges. Consult the on-screen prompts or specific mode button for activation.

5.3 Whakaweto Aunoa
To conserve battery life, the device will automatically shut down after approximately 60 seconds of inactivity.
6. Tiaki
6.1 Te horoi i te taputapu
- Horoia te taputapu ki te ngohengohe, damp kakahu. Kaua e whakamahi i nga kai horoi me nga whakarewa.
- Ensure the infrared lens is clean and free of dust or debris for accurate measurements. Use a soft, lint-free cloth specifically designed for optics.
- Kaua e rukuhia te taputapu ki te wai, ki tetahi atu wai ranei.
6.2 Whakakapinga Pūhiko
