  • Set the clock as per the instructions in the section “Setting the time and date” before using the thermometer.
• Forehead temperature measuring
  • The thermometer is only intended to be used as a practical aid. It cannot replace consultation with a doctor. Always compare the readings with your normal body temperature.
  • See the instructions for body temperature measuring in the section “How to use”.
• Object temperature measuring
  • In object temperature measuring mode there is no correction of the measured temperature as in the case of body temperature measuring on the forehead, the actual measured surface temperature is shown instead. This temperature measuring mode can be used to check that the object, preparation etc. has a suitable temperature, for example that milk has the right temperature for a baby.
  • See the instructions for object temperature measuring in the section “How to use”
• Audio alarm.
  • If a temperature higher than 37.8°( (100.0 °F) is detected in forehead temperature measuring mode the product gives a fever alarm in the form of an audio prompt with one long and three short beeps.
• Readings memory.
  • Up to 10 forehead and object temperature measurements can be saved in the memory. The measurements are saved with time readings.
• °C and °F switch.
  • Instructions to switch between displaying in degrees Celsius and degrees Fahrenheit are given in the section “Selection of temperature.

ADVANTAGES OF TEMPERATURE MEASURING ON THE FOREHEAD
Measuring of the forehead temperature with IR technology gives a reliable value of the temperature of the body’s vital organs, see figure 3. The body temperature is measured by measuring the skin temperature over the temporal arteries (temple arteries). The temporal arteries are linked to the heart via the carotid artery, which in turn is in direct connection with the aorta. The flow of blood through the temporal arteries is therefore constant. Changes to the inner body temperature are therefore reflected more quickly in the forehead than in other accessible parts of the body, for example the oral cavity, rectum and armpit.

MEASURING TIPS

The tips below contribute to accurate and reliable measurements.

• A measurement of a person’s body temperature does not in itself indicate fever – it is the deviation from the person’s normal body temperature that determines whether fever is present. It is therefore necessary to chart the person’s body temperature profile in good health and in normal conditions. This is done by measuring the body temperature on several occasions when the person is healthy. Verify if possible these measurements with a reference thermometer.

• The person should have been indoors for at least 30 minutes before the measurements are made.
  NOTE:
  Both the person and the thermometer should have been at the same ambient temperature for at least 10 minutes before the measurements are made.

• The person should not drink, eat, attend to personal hygiene, use a hair dryer or be physically active before or during the measurements. Remove any headgear and move away any hair hanging over the forehead at least 10 minutes before measuring.

• Wash the forehead clean from cream, cosmetics and impurities 10 minutes before measuring-the reading can be too low if the skin is not completely clean.

• Avoid holding a hand against the forehead other than very briefly as this can result in an incorrect reading. Do not measure against scarred tissue, scratches or sores.

• Do not measure against sweaty skin,
  this can result in an incorrect reading.

• Do not measure during or immediately after breast-feeding.

• Do not measure outdoors.

• Do not measure near sources of heat, such as fireplaces or stoves.

• The front lens on the probe is the most sensitive part of the thermometer.

• Do not touch the front lens on the probe. The accuracy can be reduced if the front lens is damaged or contaminated.

• If the fever thermometer is stored in a place that is significantly different from where it is to be used it should be left at rest for at least 30 minutes before the first measurement.

• The fever thermometer is not intended to be used in an atmosphere with high oxygen content or an environment where flammable mixtures of anesthesia gas and air, oxygen or nitrous oxide (laughing gas) can be present.

FOREHEAD TEMPERATURE MEASURING

1. Press the button marked. The display is activated and all the display segments light up briefly as a function check. After the function check the display switches to show the image as per figure 11 and gives audio prompts to indicate that the fever thermometer is ready to start a new measurement.

GUIDELINES & MANUFACTURER’S CERTIFICATE CONCERNING ELECTROMAGNETIC RADIATION
The product is intended to be used in electromagnetic environments in accordance with the specifications below. It is incumbent on the customer or the person using the product to ensure that the electromagnetic environment in which the product is used complies with these specifications.

GUIDELINES & MANUFACTURER’S CERTIFICATE CONCERNING ELECTROMAGNETIC IMMUNITY
The product is intended to be used in electromagnetic environments in accordance with the specifications below. It is incumbent on the customer or the person using the product to ensure that the electromagnetic environment in which the product is used complies with these specifications.

NOTE: OUT is the mains voltage before the test level is applied.

NOTE:

1. The higher frequency range is applicable at 80 MHz and 800 MHz.
2. These guidelines do not apply in all situations. Electromagnetic radiation can be affected by absorption in and reflection against building structures and other objects, such as people.
   • In the frequency range 0.15-80 MHz there are the following ISM bands (industrial, scientific and medical): 6.765-6.795 MHz, 13.553-13.567 MHz, 26.957-27.283 MHz and 40.66-40.70 MHz. In the frequency range 0.15-80 MHz there are the following communication radio bands: 1.8-2.0 MHz, 3.5-4.0 MHz, 5.3-5.4 MHz, 7-7.3 MHz, 10.1-10.15 MHz, 14-14.2 MHz, 18.07-18.17 MHz, 21.0-21.4 MHz, 24.89-24.99 MHz, 28.0-29.7 MHz and 50.0-54.0 MHz.
   • The compliance levels in the ISM bands between 150 kHz and 80 MHz and in the frequency band between 80 MHz and 2.7 GHz are intended to reduce the probability that the product suffers interference from mobile phones and portable communication radio equipment which by mistake is taken into the patient area. For this reason an extra factor of 10/3 has been inserted in the formulas for calculation of the recommended minimum distance to equipment that radiates radio frequency energy in these frequency bands.
   • The field strength from permanent transmitters, e.g. base stations for mobile phones and wireless telephony, communication radios, amplitude or frequency modulated radio and television broadcasting, cannot be predicted theoretically with a practical degree of accuracy. In those cases where electromagnetic environmental impact from permanent radio transmitters is important, measurement of electromagnetic field strength in situ should therefore be taken into consideration. If the measured field strength in the place where the product is used exceeds the applicable, above specified compliance levels for radio frequency radiation, the product should be tested and checked to verify that it is working properly. Additional measures may be necessary if incorrect or abnormal functionality is observed, for example the realignment or repositioning of the product.
   • In the frequency range 150 kHz to 80 MHz the field strength should be less than 3 V/m.
