This may be stating the obvious to some, but if it helps one person, it's worth it.
Finally decided to pick up one of these, to replace my Weber, which is C only. I had a vague recollection that some early models of the Thermapen didn't let you switch, so I checked their website for this model. Once I confirmed that it was switchable, I ordered from eBay - I bought two in the end, one red, one pink.
Arrived today, turned it on, and it was in C. No problem, checked the instructions for how to switch it, and there was nothing to be seen. No mention of it anywhere.
In the instructions, it did make mention of "Switch 1", which it said was "unused". I tried flicking that, and hey presto, F, and I am happy bunny after all.
Strange that the instructions said that Switch 1 was unused - anyone know why? Could it be something to do with the calibration being in C, so F is unsupported?
