Product Description

Overview

• Infrared Thermometer measures the body temperature based on the infrared energy emit ted from the forehead. Users can quickly get measurement results af ter properly scanning the forehead.
• Normal body temperature is a range. The following tables show that this normal range also varies by site. Therefore, readings from dif ferent site should not be directly compared. Tell your doctor what type of thermometer you used to take your temperature and on which part of the body.
• Also, bear this in mind if you are diagnosing yourself.
  Measuring Part| 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)

How to Use Your Thermometer

When using the thermometer for the first t ime, please install the batteries.

Press the Measure Button to Turn On the Thermometer

Hold the thermometer within 0-1.5 inches of the forehead and aim it at the center, start measuring with a short press of “Measure” but ton, then you can read the value.

Remarks: please measure forehead temperature in forehead temperature mode (the screen will show ” “)

• 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 prior to the measurement.

2 Take Room/Object Temperature

• When the thermometer is powered off, long press the “ ” button for 3 seconds until it shows . Then press the ” ” button to measure.
• Keep the thermometer about 1-1.5 inches (1-3 cm) away from the object.
• Press and release the ” ” button in 1 second, you can read the value after hearing the beep.
• Turn off the thermometer, and restart it, then get back to forehead mode.

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 sensitiveto the ambient temperature.
• After each measurement, clean the temperature probe with a soft cloth, and put the thermometer in a dry and well-ventilated place.
• You should 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

“T” indicates a temperature reading.

In Forehead Mode:

• If 89.6°F ≤ T ≤ 99.2°F (32°C ≤ T ≤ 37.3°C), the green light will be around the button 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 be around the button last for 3 seconds, with 3 short beeps, and the value in LED screen 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 be around the button last for 3 seconds, with 5 short beeps, and the value in LED screen flickers, which is a warning that you may have a high fever.

Switching Between Mute and Un-mute

• When the thermometer is turned on, short press the ” ” button in 1s to switch from un-mute to mute.
• The mute/unmute function is switchable both in the forehead mode and the object/room temperature mode.
• Un-mute is only beep sound, not broadcast temperature.

Checking 35 Sets of Memory Data

• When the thermometer is turned on by short press the “ ” button in 1s to enter the memory mode, press this button again to check the 35 sets of memories one by one. If it shows no value it will display ” – – – “
• The memory data will be lost when removing the batteries.

°F/°C Conversion

• When the thermometer is turned on, keep long pressing the “ ” button for 3 seconds, to change the °F/°C.

Temperature Compensation Adjustment

• When the thermometer is turn on, press both the “ ” button and “ ” button for 2-3 seconds to enter the temperature compensation mode.
• By pressing the “ ” to adjust the temperature from 0.0°F(°C) to #2.0°F(°C).

NOTE: All the future temperature you are taking will be automatically added to the value you adjusted.

To Turn Off

• The unit will shut down automatically after 12+1 seconds without using.
• Keep pressing the “ ” button for 6 seconds, it will shut down.

Caution

• All memory records will loss when the battery is removed or reinstalled.
• All settings will come to default when removing the battery. If the settings need to be adjusted, please power on and make the new settings.

Replace the Battery

• Slide the battery cover off along the marked direction. Put two AAA batteries correctly into the compartment.
• Remove the batteries if the thermometer will not be used for more than two months.

Reset the Thermometer

• When the screen shows “—“, “Hi” or any other accuracy issues that can’t be solved, please remove the battery and reset the thermometer.

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 (37.7°C) or as low as 97.0°F (36.11°C). Please note that this unit reads 0.9°F (0.5°C) 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. 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.
5. 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.
6. 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 100 days.
   • 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.

Care and Cleaning

• Cleaning and user maintenance must not be performed by children unless supervised.
• Cleaning the device use an alcohol swab or cotton swab moistened with 95% alcohol to clean the thermometer casing and the measuring probe.
• After the alcohol is completely dried out, you can take a new measurement (minimum of 10 minutes).
• Ensure that no water is left in the device. If this happens, only use the device again once it is fully dried out.
• Never use abrasive cleaning agents, thinners or benzene for cleaning and never immerse the instrument in water or other cleaning liquids.
• Be careful not to scratch the surface of the LED screen.
• Remove the batteries from the device before cleaning.
• Clean the device after use with a soft, slightly damp cloth. If they are very dirty, you can also moisten the cloth with a mild soapy solution.
