One caution is that radiant heat from the hand can quickly upset the
readings. If anything, the instrument is TOO sensitive.

Yes very pleased with mine. Kind of difficult to get reading when temp is
low. Heat from body quickly sends temp rising. I place mine outside with
30 sec recording to get temps. Was wondering if you could get hidden
screens like for maintanance, eg. by turning on while holding one or more
buttons etc. Other instruments, like gps, have "secret screens" for
testing.
