Product Usage Instructions

How to use your thermometer:

  1. When using the thermometer for the first time, please load the batteries.
  2. Hold the thermometer within 0-1.5 inches (0-3 cm) of theforehead and aim it at the center.
  3. Start measuring with a short press of the Measure button.
  4. Read the temperature value displayed on the LCD screen.

If the eyebrow area is covered with hair, sweat, or dirt, please clean the area beforehand to improve reading accuracy. Always check if the lens is clean. Make sure the user and the thermometer have been in the same room for at least 30 minutes prior to the measurement. After each measurement, clean the temperature probe with a soft cloth and put the thermometer in a dry and well-ventilated place. Wait at least 10 seconds between each measurement. It is dangerous to make a self-diagnosis or self-treatment based on the obtained measurement results. For such purposes, please consult a doctor.

Read your temperature :

To indicate a temperature reading, the thermometer uses the forehead mode.

Switching between mute and un-mute:

When the thermometer is turned on, press the Mute / Un-mute button to switch between mute and un-mute. The mute/unmute function is switchable in the forehead mode but not switchable in the object/room temperature mode.

Caution

  1. All memory records will be lost when uninstalling or reinstalling the battery.
  2. All settings will revert to default when uninstalling the battery. If you need to adjust the settings, please power on and make the new settings.
  3. Replace the battery by sliding the battery cover off along the marked direction. Put two AAA batteries correctly into the compartment.
  4. Remove the batteries if the thermometer will not be used for more than two months.

  9. Temperature elevation may signal a serious illness, especially in adults who are old, frail, have a weakened immune system, or babies and infants. Please seek professional advice immediately when there is a temperature elevation and if you are taking temperature for those who are:
    • Over 60 years of age (fever may be blunted or even absent in elderly patients)
    • Have diabetes mellitus or a weakened immune system (e.g., HIV positive, cancer, chemotherapy, chronic steroid treatment, splenectomy)

How to use your thermometer

Temperature taking tips

Which values are normal?

Infrared Thermometer measures the body temperature based on the infrared energy emitted from the eardrum or the forehead. Users can quickly get measurement results after positioning properly the temperature probe in the ear canal or forehead.

Normal body temperature is a range. The following tables shows that this normal range also varies by site. Therefore, readings from different site should not be directly compared. Tell your doctor what type of thermometer you used to take your temperature and on what part of the body. Also, bear this in mind if you are diagnosing yourself.

| Measurements
---|---
Forehead temperature| 97.0°F to 99.5°F (36.1°C to 37.5°C)
Ear temperature| 96.4°F to 100.4°F (35.8°C to 38.0°C )
Oral temperature| 95.9°F to 99.5°F (35.5°C to 37.5°C )
Rectal temperature| 97.9°F to 100.4°F (36.6°C to 38.0°C)
Axillary temperature| 94.5°F to 99.1°F (34.7°C to 37.3°C)

Temperature taking tips

  1. It is important to know each individual’s normal temperature when they are well. This is the only way to accurately diagnose a fever. Record readings twice a day (early morning and late afternoon). Take the average of the two temperatures to calculate normal oral equivalent temperature. Always take the temperature in the same location, since the temperature readings may vary from different locations on the forehead.
  2. A child’s normal temperature can be as high as 99.9°F (37.7ºC) or as low as 97.0°F (36.11ºC). Please note that this unit reads 0.9°F (0.5ºC) lower than a rectal digital thermometer.
  3. Holding the thermometer for too long in the hand before taking a measurement can cause the device to warm up. This means the measurement could be incorrect.
  4. Patients and the thermometer should stay in steady-state room condition for at least 30 minutes.
  5. Before placing the thermometer sensor onto the forehead, remove dirt, hair, or sweat from the forehead area. Wait 10 minutes after cleaning before taking measurement
  6. Use an alcohol swab to carefully clean the sensor and wait for 5 minutes before taking a measurement on another patient. Wiping the forehead with a warm or cool cloth may impact your reading. It is advised to wait 10 minutes before taking a reading.
  7. In the following situations it is recommended that 3-5 temperatures in the same location be taken and the highest one taken as the reading:
    • Newborn infants in the first 100days.
    • Children under three years of age with a compromised immune system and for whom the presence or absence of fever is critical.
    •  When the user is learning how to use the thermometer for the first time until he/she has familiarized himself/herself with the instrument and obtains consistent readings.

How to use your thermometer

When using the thermometer for the first time, please load the batteries.

  1. Hold the thermometer within 0-1.5 inches (0-3 cm) of the forehead and aim it at the center, start measuring with a short press of “Measure” button, then you can read the value.
  2. a measurement can cause the device to warm up. This means the measurement could be incorrect.

NOTE: The forehead measurement is an indicative reading. The measured forehead temperature can fluctuate up to 1 ºF/0.5 ºC from your actual body temperature. Please be aware of the factors that influence the accuracy as described in the section “Temperature taking tips” and WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS”.

warning

If the eyebrow area is covered with hair, sweat or dirt, please clean the area beforehand to improve the reading accuracy.

  • Always check if the lens is clean.
  • Always make sure the user and the thermometer will have been in the same room for at least 30 minutes prior to the measurement.

Take room/object temperature

  • When the thermometer is power off, long press the Memory button for 3 seconds until it shows “ “.
  • Then press the Measure button to measure.
  • Keep the thermometer about 1-1.5 inches(1-  3cm) away from the object.Press and release  the Measure button in 1 second, the beep is heard, you can now read the value.

After a measurement

  • Once the reading has been completed, remove the thermometer away from the forehead and observe temperature.
  • After each measurement, you can enter the recall mode and query earlier temperature readings.
  • Do not hold the thermometer for a long time, because it is sensitive to the ambient temperature

Read your temperature

To indicate a temperature reading. In forehead mode.

  • If 89.6°F≤T≤99.2°F(32°C≤T≤37.3°C), the green light will last for 3 seconds, with one long beep.
  • If 99.3°F≤T≤100.3°F(37.4°C≤T≤37.9°C), the orange light will last for 3 seconds, with 3 short beeps, and the value in LCD flickers, which is a warning that you may have a light fever.
  • If 100.4°F≤T≤109.2°F(38°C≤T≤42.9°C), the red light will last for 3 seconds, with 5 short beeps, and the value in LCD flickers, which is a warning that you may have a high fever.
  1. Switching between mute and un-muteWhen the thermometer is turned on, press the Mute /Un-mute button to switch from un-mute to mute.
    • The mute/unmute function is switchable in the forehead mode, it is not switchable in the object/room temperature mode.
  2. Checking 35 sets of memory data When the thermometer is turned on or power off, by press the Memory button to go to the memory mode, press this button again to check the 35 sets of memories one by one. If no value, it will display “—M”.
  3. ºF/ºC conversion
    • Open the battery cover, use the toggle switch to change the ºC/ ºF.
  4. Temperature compensation adjustment
    • When the thermometer is turn on, both press the Mem&Mute/Un-mute button, display ” ” , then go to the temperature compensation mode. By pressing the Mem button to increase the temperature from  ±0.0ºC(ºF) to ±2.0ºC(ºF).
    • Note: All the future temperature you are taking will be automatically added the value you are adjusted.
  5. To turn off
    • The unit will shut down automatically after 10±1 seconds of no use.
    • Or you can keep pressing the Measure button for 8 seconds.

Caution

  1. All memory records will loss when uninstall or reinstall the battery.
  2. All settings will come to default when uninstall the battery. If need adjust the settings, please power on and make the new settings.
  3. Replace the battery.

Slide the battery cover off along the marked direction. Put two AAA batteries correctly into the compartment.

WARNING: Remove the batteries if the thermometer will not be used for more than two months.
