Initial calibration

For stable and reliable results, The thermometer provides a user-correction function, the operation of the method is as follows: 1st step take the temperature of a person using a conventional thermometer; you will get 37.5°C (99.5°F) for instance 2nd step take the temperature of the same person using the Noncontact Body lnfrared Thermometer keeping the 5 to 15 cm (2 into 5.9 in) distance between the thermometer and the forehead (Take care to remove any obstacle which could alter the measurement (hair, perspiration …). lf you get 37.5°C (99.5 °F), the Non-contact Body lnfrared Thermometer is properly set and ready for use lf you get a lower temperature, 36.4°C (97 .4°F) for example, your difference is 1.1°C (2 .2°F). You should adjust the temperature on the Non-contact Body lnfrared Thermometer and add the difference, i.e. 1.1°C (2 .2°F): Press MODE key for 2 seconds, the screen displays “F1” Press the MODE key again until you get “F3” Press UP key in order to add the difference (in our example, 1.1°c – 2.2°F) To check, take the temperature again using the Non-contact Body mode

Use of instrument

1. Insert the batteries
2. For the first use or when inserting new batteries wait between 10 minutes for the warm-up of the apparatus and when inserting the new batteries)
3. lf the device is not used for a long time, once you turn it on again, the device will test the room temperature first and will delay turning on for one or two seconds.
4. Aim towards the forehead (see the diagram below for the positioning), from a distance of 5cm(2in), press the measuring key, the temperature is displayed immediately
5. Making sure there is no hair, perspiration, cosmetic or cap covered on the forehead.
6. When the room temperature is significant difference, or there is perspiration on the forehead, You can take the temperature behind the ear lobe
7. Making sure there is no hair, perspiration, cosmetic or cap covered

3. The screen displays the “Lo” message
   When using the Non-contact Body lnfrared Thermometer the message “Lo” can show on the screen. The temperature analyzed is under the measuring range selected, either less than 32°C (90°F) in Body mode or less than 0°C (32°F) in Surface mod

List of possible wrong conditions during a measurement

Temperature reading hampered by hair, perspiration. . .| Make sure that there is no

obstruction prior to taking a temperature.

---|---
Temperature hampered by an air flux.| Make sure there is no air flux as

this could interfere with the infrared system.

The measuring distance is too far| Please respect the measuring distance (between 5 to 15cm

– 2 to 5.9 in).

From high/low temperature condition to room temperature| Waiting for 10 minutes before taking the body temperature
