How the hell do you keep it from turning off every 10-15 minutes lol?

"Auto Power OFF
The meter will automatically turn off after 30 minutes if no keys are pressed during this
period. Auto power off is disabled in the max/min recording mode."

EDIT: RTFM ;)

If yours is shutting off every 10-15 minutes, you've either overclocked time, or the batteries are low. Honestly, neither would surprise me lol.

^ Nice find homie.

Good job reading the manual! :taunt:

that's what they're for apparently :P ;)

EDIT: I could have been a knob and provided this.... lol

Mine turns off every 15min like clockwork ... I want to smash it every time lol

lol so thats how the interweb work?

question though doesnt the max min recording mode burn more batteries?

I'm surprised you lads don't use it.

negative. It doesn't really "record" just saves the min and max.

I have used the min/max mode in the past, but I undoubtedly forget to turn it off and have to replace the batteries the next day,....so needless to say, I always just re-turn them on (x2 ea-10's) thru my sessions.

I just press the power button when it turns off, its a daunting task, I know, but I'm tough like that.

sucks mid bench when you are pouring 2 pots though lol

lol, yah but after benching with a crap probe temp reader, you sorta overlook any indiosyncracies of a solid temp reader ;) lol

:clapping::taunt:lmao

:D Yes you are and so am I! Just keep turning this dam thing back on.

ditto

Grabbing another jld7100... its consistent, and no friggin batteries. Wired for ac, and I'm putting in an inline switch when the 2nd gets here... Easy breezy. :thumbsup:
