OPERATING THE DEVICE

Before initial commissioning, please insert the batteries. To do this, please proceed as described under “Changing the batteries”.
A. First, select the desired measuring mode by moving the measuring mode switch (F) to the appropriate position (up to measure the body temperature and down to measure an
object temperature).
B. Now press the on/off button (D) and all symbols on the display (B) are shown. Next, the last measurement value and MEMORY are automatically displayed for two seconds.
C. The thermometer now indicates that it is ready for measurement by: – sounding of a short beep – the unit of measurement (°C/°F) selected flashes.

Measurement of the body temperature
A. In order to start the measurement, point the thermometer at the center of the forehead. When doing so, take care to ensure that the measuring sensor (A) is not more than 5 km away. If there is hair, sweat, or dust on the forehead, please remove it or wipe it off the forehead before the measurement in order to improve the accuracy of the measurement.
B. Press the function key (C) for two seconds, the measurement starts when the button is released.
C. When you hear a long beep, this means that the measurement is finished and you can read the temperature value on the display.

D. Intelligent analysis of the body temperature. If the temperature measured is below 37.5 °C (99.5 °F), the measurement result is shown on the screen with a long beep
and green backlighting. If the temperature measured is above 37.5 °C (99.5 °F), the measurement result is shown on the screen with 10 short beeps and with red backlighting
in order to make it clear to the patient that they may have a fever.

Measurement of the object temperature
A. In order to start the measurement, point the thermometer at the center of the surface. When doing so, take care to ensure that the measuring sensor (A) is not more than 5 km away. If there is dust or dirt on the object, please remove it before the measurement in order to improve the accuracy of the measurement.
B. Press the function key (C) for two seconds, the measurement starts when the button is released.

INTRODUCTION

C. When you hear a long beep, this means that the measurement is finished and you can read the temperature value on the display.

Caution!

• Please ensure that the subject of the measurement (person or surface) and the thermometer are kept at a stable room temperature for at least 30 minutes before use.
• After a continuous measurement, please wait at least two minutes before turning the thermometer back on.
• Do not carry out a measurement immediately after patient care.
• Never use the thermometer in a high-temperature environment.

• If the measuring head gets dirty or you want to pack the thermometer back into the box, clean it carefully with a cotton cloth soaked in alcohol.
• Please attempt to carry out the measurement in the same area since the results in different areas will be different.
• Since a baby’s body temperature regulatory function is not perfect, do not carry out a measurement immediately after a change of environment with a significant difference in the temperature in order to avoid a measurement error.
• In the following cases, the use of a conventional thermometer to carry out measurement is recommended:

1. The measurement results are higher or lower than expected.
2.  For newborn babies who are younger than 100 days old.
3. For children under 3 years of age are suffering from a defective immune system or a very high fever.
