After “88.8,” neither “L” nor the memory is displayed, and a room-temperature-like reading such as 33°C appears.

If the thermometer has warmed up, such as when measurements are taken consecutively, and the measurement area detects a temperature of 32°C or higher, measurement preparation may not be completed, and a room-temperature-like reading may appear instead of “L” or “Lo°C.” Turn off the power, cool the measurement area with a cold, wrung-out towel or a cup of cold water, and then take the measurement again.
