Instruction For Use

Before Measurement
For stable and reliable results, it is essential to check the non-contact infrared thermometer and change as needed, as follow:

• Step 1 Test the body temperature of any person using a conventional thermometer, for instance if you get 99.5⁰F (37.5⁰C).

• Step 2 To the same person, use this device to measure. About 1-2 inch distance between thermometer and forehead.

• This device should show 99.5⁰F (37.5⁰C) when it is properly set and ready to use.
  Note: Remove any obstacle which could alter the measurement (hair, perspiration and etc).

• Lower Temperature
  When you have got lower temperature – for example: 97.5⁰F (36.4⁰C), difference is 2.2⁰F (1.1⁰C). You should adjust the temperature on the device until to the same value.

  • Press “Mode” button for 2 seconds, screen displays F1.
  • Press “Mode” button again until you see F3.
  • Press “Up” button in order to add the value.

• Step 3 Do measurement again to check the value.

Measurement

1. Once you turn on this device, it will test the room temperature first when the device is not used for a long time.
2. Select “Body” Mode, place device towards forehead or behind the ear lobe, suggested distance about 1-2 inches (3-5cm).
3. Press measurement trigger, beep sound in rapid sounds alerted when the measurement is higher than 100.4⁰F (38⁰C).
4.  Select “Object” mode to measure room temperature, liquid temperature and etc.
