Safety Precautions

•  The use of this thermometer is not intended as a substitute for consultation with your physician. It is dangerous for users to perform a self-evaluation and self-treatment based on the measuring result. Be sure to follow the doctor’s instructions.
•  Keep the thermometer out of the reach of children. If the battery or any other component is swallowed, immediately call a poison center or doctor.
•  Do not dispose of the battery in fire. Must be recycled or disposed of properly.• The device is a precision instrument, don’t drop, tramp or impose any vibration or impact on the thermometer.
•  Do not touch the lens of the probe with your fingers, and do not disassemble the device by yourself.
•  Before measuring temperature, please make sure the area is clear of hair or moisture (i.e. sweat).
•  If you plan on measuring your temperature after exercising, eating, or bathing, please rest in a room temperature area for about 30 minutes prior to measuring the temperature for accurate results.
•  For reliable and stable measurement data, please have the device placed in a room temperature area for at least 30 minutes prior to using.
•  To measure temperature continuously over a duration of time, please make sure to have at least 1-minute intervals between each measurement. Temperature measurements may vary slightly, hence it is recommended that you measure at least three consecutive times and then take the average of the temperatures.
•  There is no absolute standard about the temperature of a person, so please try to collect the recording of Individual temperature in the usual, as a reference for having a fever or not.
•  Do not measure the sites of scarred tissue or tissue compromised by skin disorders, because sensing body temperature from sites of scarred tissue or tissue compromised by skin disorders can lead to not accurate temperature readings.
•  Do not measure in places where there are scars or fresh wounds (especially on the head).
•  Do not measure if a person is treated with certain drug therapies.• Do not measure when the measured sites (forehead) is exposed to direct sunlight, fireplace heat, cold compress therapies, air conditioner flow. If you are under these cases, please leave the status and wait for 30 minutes to measure.
•  Do not immerse the device into water or any other liquid, and do not directly expose it to the sun.
•  Make sure the measuring distance is between 0.4in – 2.5in (1cm – 6cm) when measuring.
•  Do not use a mobile or cordless phone near the thermometer when measuring.
•  Do not measure after using drugs or medication, due to the fact that drugs and medicine can have impacts on the temperature of the body.
•  In order to ensure the accuracy of measurement data, please don’t take measurements of body temperature in strong electromagnetic interference environments (such as microwave, high-frequency equipment operation environments).

Intended use
This non-contact thermometer is intended to measure forehead temperature at home or at the office for all people, from infants to adults.

Overall Description

LCD display description

Operation Instruction

1.  Check battery – Replace the batteries to ensure power supply if there is low voltage icon for the thermometer.

2.  Check thermometer – When you press the “power and scan” button, the system itself test its software and hardware. If there are problems, LCD will display “Err” symbol. Also, please check if the sensor lens is dirty or if there are any damaged parts prior to use.

3.  In order to get accurate measurement results, put the thermometer in the measurement environment for 30 minutes.

4.  Unexpected fluctuations in the ambient room temperature may decrease the accuracy of the measured results.

5.  When measuring forehead temperature, make sure the measured area is clean and cleared or hair in order to ensure the accuracy.

6.  If the ambient temperature exceeds the range of 50˚F – 104˚F (10˚C – 40.0˚C), the thermometer shows Err;

7.  If the measured human temperature value is higher than 109.2˚F (42.9˚C), it shows Hi; If the measured temperature is lower than 89.6˚F (32˚C), Lo is shown.

8.  If 89.6˚F (32˚C) ≤ temperature ≤ 99.5˚F (37.5˚C), green backlight lights up; If 99.7˚F (37.6˚C)≤ temperature ≤109.2˚F (42.9˚C), red backlight lights up; When red backlight lights up are accompanied by the continuous “beeping” Sound, measurement completed, the screen will show the measured temperature value.

9.  When measuring the forehead temperature, you should first remove the hat or arrange the hair on the forehead to prevent the influence of measurement.

10.  Sweat or cosmetics on the forehead will affect the measurement accuracy. Please keep the forehead clean during measurement.

11.  Be careful not to shine LED light into the subject’s eyes during measurement.

12. (3) Measurement mode selection
    Press [Environment/Body temperature switch button] to select the object or human body temperature measurement mode. As below:If there is no action more than 30 seconds after the temperature measurement, the thermometer will automatically come into the standby state with no display on the screen. (6) Memory function The function of data storage: The device can store up to 32 measurements including mode and temperature. When the memory has stored 32 measurements, the following measurements will automatic overwrite the previous measurement.

13. After starting up the thermometer, the thermometer will automatically check for the batteries’ power. If the battery power is too low, the screen will display a low symbol ” “. If the battery has been depleted to be not able to be used normally, the screen will flash the low symbol the automatically turn off after 3 flashes prompting the user to replace the batteries with new ones.
    Battery replacement:

14. Step 1: Open the battery case and take out the old ones.

Field strengths from fixed transmitters, such as base stations for radio (cellular/cordless) telephones and land mobile radios, amateur radio, AM and FM radio broadcast and TV broadcast cannot be predicted theoretically with To assess the electromagnetic environment due to fixed RF transmitters, an electromagnetic site survey should be considered. If the measured field strength in the location in which the Ethereum Pro is used exceeds the applicable RF compliance level above, the eTherm Pro should be observed to verify normal operation. If abnormal performance is observed, additional measures may be necessary, such as re¬orienting or relocating the eTherm Pro.
3. Over the frequency range 150 kHz to 80 MHz, field strengths should be less than 3V/m.
   Recommended separation distances between

portable and mobile RF communications equipment and the Ethereum Pro

The eTherm Pro is intended for use in an electromagnetic environment in which radiated RF disturbances are controlled. The customer or the user of the eTherm Pro can help prevent electromagnetic interference by maintaining a minimum distance between portable and mobile RF communications equipment (transmitters) and the eTherm Pro as recommended below, according to the maximum output power of the communications equipment.
