Intro

Some are interested in knowing the temperature outside and some, how hot the chipset is running. These are only two examples of many kinds of different temperature measurement needs out there. Also, there are almost as many types of thermometers as there are situations that require them. This time we'll show you one very interesting product from Q3 Innovations that might get you interested in getting the temperature.

ThermoHawk 400

Content

From the package we can find the ThermoHawk 400, couple of LR44 button batteries and the instruction manual. As the unit can be attached to a keychain, it doesn't need a separate pouch or casing for carrying. So, everything needed to get the unit operational can be found from the package.
