Mine won't read two probes at once now, I dunno wtf is up.

[Hondacity]

just now?

My old battered DT200 has had the same issue the last few months.

1 probe OK
2 probes I get wildly weird readings - super high temps on one and super low on the other.

It fixed itself for one battery change, but the problem is back for the last few batt changes.

Funny thing is I started having the exact same problem with an el cheapo from Hong Kong. Been using separate probes for things.

Yea mine is a POS too. I lost calibratioon a while ago. Threw it on the shelf and bought a Extech. UEi read is off by aboout 40 degrees.

What batteries are you guys using? Have any of you tried cheap branded batteries?

[Hondacity]

i think we ought to replace the batteries when the battery light is blinking...mine died completely so it prolly lost its charge...

i'll call uei today

I had a DT302 . Batteries last looonger than DT200, that's for sure :D
It is as fast as Fluke series 5 . No difference .
Never had a problem with it , I bought it brand new though .
That's my experience on it :D

[Hondacity]

what i'm trying to message out is ...change the battery when its blinking..but for now..i'll do rma on it.

Funny my UEI did the same thing after my battery was dying. I changed for a new 9v one but the temp sensors are not accurate anymore, I retired it and got another Fluke...

Mine is a DT302. I dont remember where i got it. And i don't have a receipt. I do know its oonly about a year old though.

[Hondacity]

anything bought online should have some sort email invoice...

[Kal-EL]

Pressed and held settings button and then scrolled to reset, works like a charm again.

[Hondacity]

did that a couple of times..still the readings are borked....its on its way to oregon..so i'll have something next week

[Chuchnit]

Honda how did your RMA turn out? I'm having the same bs issues with mine now. Batteries died, changed and T1 reads 586c while T2 won't read anything. Pisses me off.

[Hondacity]

good

i got one uei 302 and a 304 now....

again replace battery when the battery indicator is blinking....heheheh

rma is smooth..it takes a week or so...

print your invoice/receipt..... and call them up...easy like pifast

I sent my 302 back for calibration a few weeks ago. They sent me a brand new ne. I guess they couldn't calibrate it either.
