How do you change the temperature reading from centigrade to Fahrenheit ?

There is a push button on the back under the kick stand. Click it once and it will change. Click it again and it will change back.

It can toggle between Fahrenheit and Celsius. The supplied power adapter is indeed for use in the USA and I had to replace it with a power adapter suitable for local (Australian) standards. As the plug for connecting the unit is not standard I had to cut if off from the supplied adapter and fitted it to my locally bought adapter. It works well but is a bit noisy.

No, this thermometer is in Celsius. -20C to 110C (you can easily convert from Fahrenheit using google).

Ok, what i need u to do is scroll past the 8 temp readings then when u see F-C hold the big button and it should switch to what u want.

Yes, it can. You hold down the "On/Select" button for a couple seconds and it toggles between Celsius and Fahrenheit.

I have the same problem as several other reviewers; mine no longer works in Fahrenheit, only Celsius. The lowest setting is 7 C.

I believe you have the thermometer reading in Celcius instead of Fahrenheit. Check the upper right hand corner to See if there is a C of F displayed. To change the scale, When you turn on the unit hold done the button until you see the hourglass. The thermometer will change.

Check the manual. If you no longer can find it go to http://luxproducts.com/support/TX500E_ENG_Manual121409.pdf On the first page, in the second column you find information about three small switches. They are on the backside or inside of the unit. One of the three switches lets you switch between Celsius and Fahrenheit. Good luck!

Expose the thermocouple to known temperature sources. For example, immerse it in a slush of ice chips and water. It should read 0 degrees Centigrade (32 degrees Fahrenheit). Immerse it in boiling water. It should read 100 degrees Centigrade (212 degrees Fahrenheit).

As far as I know the one I have is Celsius only. I just printed out a conversion chart.

I received this today and was not able to change to Celsius. I need to return it.

You can change the display from Celsius to Fahrenheit (and back again) by flipping a small switch on the back of the display. You would have to first remove the front panel (it's screwless so just pull it off) and then you should be able to see the switch.

There are two models of the DROK meter, one that reads Fahrenheit and one that reads Celsius. The Celsius model can't read Fahrenheit and vice versa. To switch to the temperature readout (from voltage or time) press the button marked "m" (mode). Hope that helps.

I called the company and they suggested flipping the unit over and removing the cover from the digital display. If there are dip switches on the digital display board then you can change to Fahrenheit. If there are no dip switches then you can't change to Fahrenheit. My suggestion is to find a good temp and Google the Celsius to Fahrenheit conversion just so you get an idea. You'll get used to Celsius.

Using the "+" and "-" buttons increase or decrease the temperature desired. On the display you will see the word "Hold" next to a button. Press that button and the temperature setting will stay at that temperature until you press the button next to "Run" (on the display) or until you change the position of the "Cool" / "Off" /"Heat" switch.

Yes, it can be switched between degrees F (the default temp reading when first turned on with the scan button) then simply press the middle small button to switch to degrees C and press scan button again to rescan in degrees C.

I uploaded a picture of how to convert it to Fahrenheit in "Customer Images". You can see it if you click on "Customer Images" to the right of the reviews area. In text: To convert this thermometer to Fahrenheit open it and find three small square pads on the circuit board. Connect the "inner" one (i.e. the one closer to the center of the board) and the pad in the middle together. Don't try to solder them it's far too difficult. Instead squish some foil into a ball and tape it in position.
