Tips

For best accuracy, ensure the target area is larger than the measurement spot. Adjust the emissivity setting according to the material: use 0.95 for most non-reflective surfaces, 0.85 for painted or oxidized metals, and 0.75 for shiny metals. Clean the lens regularly with a soft cloth to maintain performance.
