How to trouble shoot a Stress Thermometer if it looks like your are not getting Hand Temperature feedback.
Is this a brand new unit? There is a label on the back of the unit with Month and Year of manufacture. This should be checked.
If it is Used.
If it has been used for some time, the tiny wires by the Thermistor or Temperature Sensor may have been broken through use and abuse. You cannot tell this by looking at the tip - it might be broken under plastic. A broken tip is not repairable or more accurately it is not cost effective to repair it. It will need to be replaced. See links below or above to order a new unit.
If it is New.
1. Remove the battery from the back of the unit. Slide the battery door off and the battery should pop up or you can carefully use a paper clip.
2. Wait one minute.
3. Reinstall the battery and close the battery door.
4. Try switching between Room and Body.
5. Swith to Body and Put the Thermistor under your arm for 1 minute. Temperature will read be in low 90s if the unit is working.
6. Then switch unit to Room and see if the temp is different. It should be lower in most room environments.
It is possible to have a Body temperature reading that is the same or similar to Room temperature. This above test will determine if the unit is working properly.
If it is a new unit and within the 30 day warranty, contact us for a return and replacement. We have an extremely low failure rate on new units but it does happen on rare occasion.
