HOW TO USE YOUR NON-CONTACT INFRARED THERMOMETER

1. Install 2 AA batteries according to instructions provided in Section VII.
2. For the first time use after installing batteries, wait 10-15 minutes for the device to warm up and adjust to the room temperature.
3. Press On/Scan button, place 1.2-2 in (3-5 cm) away from forehead, aim lens toward forehead. Make sure the measurement mode is ‘BODY”, press the thermometer’s On/Scan button, and the temperature will be displayed instantly.
4. Before taking an individual’s temperature, make sure any hair, dirt or dust is removed from forehead and forehead is dry. Wait 10 minutes after such removal prior to measuring temperature.

For reliable results:

• Do   NOT attempt to take an individual’s temperature by aiming the device at a body part other than the forehead (i.e. arms, legs, torso, etc.).
• Do NOT move the thermometer before the final result is displayed.
• Do NOT take an individual’s temperature near any drafts (i.e. wind, air conditioner, fans)
• Do NOT take an individual’s temperature shortly after he or she participated in vigorous physical activity, bathed, took medicine, ate or drink, or had a cold or warm compress on his or her forehead.
• Do NOT take an individual’s temperature when there has been a significant change in ambient conditions. Allow the device to adjust to a significant change in the ambient temperature due to a change in environment for 30 minutes before using the device.
• Wait at least 3 to 5 seconds between measurements.
• We recommend that you take three measurements on the forehead, and if the results of three measurements are different, use the one with the highest value.”

If you have problems while using your thermometer, please refer to this guide to help resolve the problem. If the problem persists, please contact our customer service.

THE SCREEN DISPLAYS TEMPERATURE HIGHER THAN 109.2°F (42.9°C):
The temperature is in Fahrenheit. Change the measurement to Celsius.

THE SCREEN DISPLAYS TEMPERATURE LOWER THAN 89.6°F (32°C):
To take the surface temperature, press the “MODE” button and set to the reading called “Body”, If the device is in Surface Temp Mode, the 32°C (89.6°F) temperature displayed is showing the external temperature of your body, rather than the internal.

THE SCREEN DISPLAYS THE MESSAGE HI
When using the JXB-178 Thermometer, the message “HI” can show on the screen. In this case, the temperature is above the measurement range selected, either above 109.2°F (42.9°C) in Body Mode.

THE SCREEN DISPLAYS THE MESSAGE LO
When using the JXB-178 Thermometer, the message “LO” can show on the screen. In this case, the temperature analyzed is under the measuring range selected, either less than 89.6°F (32°C) in Body Mode.

This message displays for various reasons. Please find below a list of the main issues:

obstruction or dampness prior to taking temperature.
Temperature hampered by an air draft or dramatic change in ambient temperature| Make sure there is no air blowing in the area of use; this could affect the infrared reading.
Temperature readings are too close together, and the thermometer did not have time to reboot.| Wait a minimum of 3 to 5 seconds between readings; a 15 second pause is recommended
The measuring distance is too far.| Hold the device 1.2-2 inches (3-5 cm) away from forehead.
