**TrueLife Care Q5 Non Contact Medical Thermometer Instructions

**

Before first use, the consumer must first read the instructions and safety precautions of the product.

Introduction

The True Life Care Q5 uses infrared technology to achieve highly-accurate results. The Care Q5 thermometer measures body temperature in two possible ways, from the body surface, or with a special temperature sensor in the ear for even more accurate readings.

Thermometer Features

a) Choice of 2 measurement options – forehead and in-ear.
b) The measurement is performed using infrared radiation technology in contact with the ear or non-contact measurement (1-2 cm from the skin) of the forehead. For more accurate readings, the thermometer can be placed directly on the forehead..
c) Hygienic and practical to use.
d) Automatically shows last taken reading when switched on.
e) Has a built-in clear and legible colour backlit display.
f) Automatically changes display colour relative to measured temperature: green (32.0 – 37.4 °C), orange (37.5 – 38.0 °C), red (38.0 – 42.9 °C).
g) The backlight remains on for 15 seconds after taking a reading, which means it can be read in the dark. It turns off automatically when inactive. This significantly increases battery life.

Temperature Measurement

To measure the temperature on the forehead, remove the sensor cover from the thermometer. The display will show the icon . When you remove the sensor cover, the thermometer automatically switches to ear temperature measurement mode. The display will show the icon .

Measuring the temperature on the forehead
Switch on the device by pressing the button. Aim the sensor at the forehead (1-2 cm from the skin). For more accurate readings, place the sensor on your forehead so that it touches the skin. Press the Power/Reading button. When you release the button, an audible signal informs you of the results.
Measuring your in-ear temperature
Press the button to turn it on, then remove the sensor cover and insert the sensor carefully into your ear. Press the On/Measure button. When you release the button, a beep indicates that the reading has been taken.
Ambient temperature
Insert the thermometer into the stand and wait for it to turn off. The ambient temperature and the time will alternate on the display.
Settings
If you need to change the thermometer settings, turn on the device, remove the battery cover and press the set button. Press the button to toggle between the setting options. After selecting the option, wait 2 seconds and the thermometer will automatically go to the settings of the selected option. We recommend that you keep to the default settings as by default the device is properly calibrated. If changes are made there is a risk of inaccurate results.

---|---|---
F-2| Full body or forehead measurement settings| Choice between the measurement options Ear/Forehead or Ear/Body. Ear is pre-set in both options.
F-3| Time settings| After setting the time, the time and room temperature are displayed alternately on the thermometer display
F-4| Measurement value adjustment| If necessary, you can adjust the measurement value by +/-2.0 degrees, by tenths of a degree.
F-5| Measurement range for orange display| Here you can change the default values (37.5 °C – 37.4 °C)
F-6| Measurement range for red display| Here you can change the default values (38.0 °C – 42.9 °C).

Replacing the Battery

Low Battery: When the battery power is low, the thermometer displays the „Low Battery“ icon at the bottom of the display.

Please replace the battery as soon as possible, even though the thermometer will continue to operate normally for some time. Do not leave low batteries in the device as the thermometer may be damaged.

When the battery is completely discharged, “Lo” appears on the display and the unit automatically turns off.

When replacing the battery, take off the battery cover and remove the old battery. Insert the new CR2032 battery according to the polarity labelled in the thermometer. When disposing of an old battery, follow the instructions on the safety information that is included in the box, or return it to a collection point or designated location.

Troubleshooting

The measurement result is not as expected – The thermometer should be used in stable conditions. Measurements may show deviations when ambient conditions change frequently or when very hot and cold objects are measured within a short space of time

Display shows „Hi“	Measured temperature is higher than 42.9 °C
Display shows „Lo“	Measured temperature is lower than 32.0 °C

Warning

a) Please read this manual before turning on the thermometer for the first time.
b) The thermometer can be used in places where the temperature is between 10–40 °C.
c) Do not place the thermometer near objects that generate strong magnetic fields or static electricity.
d) Do not expose the thermometer to direct sunlight, do not place it near fire or soak in water.
e) Avoid dropping it or other mechanical damage.
f) Store the thermometer at an ambient temperature of 0–50 °C.
g) Do not take measurements in an environment with a humidity level greater than 85%.
h) Body temperature measurement may be affected by sweat, cosmetics, hair, or other obstacles in the measurement path. If the reading shows non- standard measurement deviations, wipe away sweat and remove the obstructions or take readings behind the ear.
i) In the event of a sudden change in ambient temperature or the thermometer is moved to a place with different ambient conditions, perform the first measurement after about 15-20 minutes in this new environment.
j) It is important to keep the infrared probe clean and prevent damage.
k) You can clean the thermometer with a cotton swab or cloth moistened with alcohol.
