• Intended to be used by consumers in household environment. Do not make medical judgements based on the thermometer reading. Seek medical attention and follow instructions from your health care provider.

• Do not touch or blow on the infrared sensor. Keep the sensor clean.
  A dirty sensor might lead to incorrect results.

• To clean the sensor and case regularly, wipe gently with cotton balls or a soft cloth dipped in isopropyl (rubbing) alcohol. Do not use toilet paper or tissue, which might scratch the infrared sensors.

• Do not measure temperature during or after a hot bath, long exposure to the sun, cold weather, or strenuous exercise, otherwise the reading might be affected.

• At the end of the service life of this product, do not discard it in the garbage. Please discard used batteries according to national and local regulations.

• Do not disassemble or repair your thermometer.

• Do not place or use the thermometer near water, high temperature, humidity, direct sunlight, dust, or corrosion.

• Do not take measurements during a sudden change of ambient temperature or in harsh environments.

• Do not measure temperature on any body part that has inflammation, trauma, or postoperative local lesions.

• Do not drop the instrument. Protect it from severe impact and shock.
  Do not twist the instrument or the measuring sensor.

• Do not store this thermometer in temperature extremes below -25 °C or over 55 °C (below -13 °F or over 131 °F) or in excessive humidity (above  95% non-condensing relative humidity).

• The accuracy of IR thermometers can differ from contact thermometers.
  Factors affecting accuracy include operator technique, anatomical variations and subject cooperation. Maintain proper distance and stability during measurements. Consider variations in skin color, thickness, and surface conditions. Ensure subject  cooperation and steadiness.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

How to Use

BEFORE FIRST USE
Remove and discard the LCD display protection film and battery-saver.

BEFORE EVERY USE
Check that the infrared sensor is clean and free from damage.

Use in an environment that’s between 59°F (15°C) to 95°F (35°C). For best results, ensure that the thermometer and the person to be measured are both in this environment for at least 30 minutes before use.

DISPLAY GUIDE

1. Temperature reading
2. Scale (Fahrenheit/Celsius)
3. Low battery indicator
4. SMeasure toward forehead
5. Temperature indication

TO MEASURE TEMPERATURE

1. Press the power button next to .
   The display screen turns on. After 3 seconds, the blue backlight flashes when the thermometer is ready.

2. Place the sensor near the forehead.
   For best results, the distance from the skin should be less than 3cm (1inch).
   

3. Press the side scan button to begin the temperature reading.

4. After 1 second, a beeping sound indicates that the reading is complete. The measured temperature appears on the display.

5. Press and hold the power button for 3 seconds to turn off the device. After 30 seconds of inactivity, the power shuts off automatically.

NOTE: To take another temperature reading, wait until the blue backlight flashes.
To ensure accurate measurements, please avoid hair covering the forehead. If there are fringes, uncover them and wait for 3 minutes before taking the measurement.
Use in an environment that’s between 59°F (15°C) to 95°F (35°C).

SWITCH BETWEEN FAHRENHEIT AND CELSIUS

1. While the power is on, double press the power button to switch between °C and °F.

VIEW PREVIOUS READINGS

1. With the power off, press and hold the power button for 3 seconds.

2. Release the button when the LCD displays 3 dashes.
   

3. Press the power button to step through previous readings.

4. Press and hold the power button again for 3 seconds to turn the unit off.

HOW TO REPLACE THE BATTERY

1. When the “low battery” symbol appears on the display, replace the CR2032 coin battery.
   

2. Use a #1 Philips-head screwdriver (included) to remove the battery cover.
   

3. Pull the battery out using your fingers or with an insulated tool.

4. Insert a new battery into the compartment.
   Match the correct + and – polarity.
   

5. Screw the battery cover back on.
   

6. Discard the used battery according to local environmental regulations.

TROUBLESHOOTING

1. If nothing shows on the display after turning the power on:
   a. Check the battery. If the battery is depleted, replace with a fresh CR2032 3VDC button cell battery.
   b. Check if the battery is inserted correctly. Pull the battery out and make sure battery polarity matches the battery compartment + and – polarity.
   c. If the internal circuit is damaged, the unit must be returned to Munchkin for after-sales service.

2. If the temperature reading is not functioning:
