4. Konfigurazioa
4.1 Bateriaren instalazioa
The BTMETER 980G requires one 9V battery (included). To install:
- Ireki heldulekuaren behealdean dagoen bateriaren konpartimentuaren estalkia.
- Connect the 9V battery to the terminal clips, ensuring correct polarity (+ to + and - to -).
- Jarri bateria konpartimentuan eta itxi estalkia ondo itxita.

5. Funtzionamendua
5.1 Neurketa bat egitea
- Zuzendu termometroa helburuko gainazalera.
- Press and hold the trigger to begin scanning. The laser pointer will activate (if enabled) to help aim. The display will show the current temperature.
- Release the trigger to hold the reading on the display for approximately 7 seconds. The 'HOLD' icon will appear.

Image: Visual guide showing the action of holding the trigger to scan and releasing it to hold the temperature reading on the display.
5.2 Distantzia-puntuaren arteko erlazioa (D:S)
The BTMETER 980G has a D:S ratio of 16:1. This means that at a distance of 16 units, the measurement spot diameter will be 1 unit. For accurate readings, ensure the target area is larger than the spot size. Measuring closer to the object will result in a smaller spot size and more precise readings.

5.3 Emisibitatearen doikuntza
Emissivity (ε) is the ability of a material to emit thermal energy. Different materials have different emissivity values. For accurate measurements, adjust the emissivity setting (0.1 to 1.0) to match the target material. The default setting is 0.95, which is suitable for many organic materials and painted surfaces.
- Press the 'MODE' button until 'EMS' appears on the display.
- Use the Up/Down buttons to adjust the emissivity value.

5.4 Unitatearen hautaketa (℃/℉)
Sakatu ℃/℉ botoia Celsius eta Fahrenheit tenperatura unitateen artean aldatzeko.
5.5 Mode Functions (MAX/MIN/AVG/HAL/LAL)
Press the 'MODE' button repeatedly to cycle through the following functions:
- MAX: Displays the maximum temperature recorded during the current scan.
- MIN: Displays the minimum temperature recorded during the current scan.
- Batez bestekoa: Displays the average temperature recorded during the current scan.
- HAL (Alarma Handia): Set a high temperature threshold. If the measured temperature exceeds this value, an alarm will sound and 'H' will display.
- LAL (Alarma Baxua): Set a low temperature threshold. If the measured temperature falls below this value, an alarm will sound and 'L' will display.
To set HAL or LAL values:
- Select HAL or LAL mode using the 'MODE' button.
- Use the Up/Down buttons to adjust the desired alarm temperature.

5.6 Itzaltze automatikoa
The thermometer will automatically shut off after approximately 10 seconds of inactivity to conserve battery life.
6. Mantentzea
6.1 Garbiketa
To clean the thermometer, wipe the casiniragarkiarekin gamp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or immerse the device in water. Keep the lens of the infrared sensor clean for accurate readings.
6.2 Bateria ordezkatzea
When the battery indicator on the LCD display shows low power, replace the 9V battery as described in Section 4.1. Dispose of used batteries responsibly.
7. Arazoak
- Pantailarik ez/Gailurik ez pizten: Egiaztatu 9V-ko bateria behar bezala instalatuta dagoen eta nahikoa karga duen. Ordeztu bateria beharrezkoa bada.
