PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

Overview

An infrared Thermometer measures the body temperature based on the infrared energy emitted from the forehead. Users can quickly get measurement results after 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 the different site should not be directly compared. Tell your doctor what type of thermometer you used to take your temperature and on what part of the body. Also bear this in mind if you are diagnosing yourself.

HOW TO USE YOUR THERMOMETER

When using the thermometer for the first time, please load the batteries.
Take your forehead temperature
Press the Measure button to power on. Only aim at forehead at a distance of 0-3cm, no need to make skin contact. Press the Measure button again, the thermometer will beep once it has completed the measurement and it will display the temperature on the display screen.
NOTE: The forehead measurement is an indicative reading. The measured forehead temperature can fluctuate up to 1 °F/0.5 °C from your actual body temperature. Please be aware of the factors that influence the accuracy as described in the section ‘Temperature taking tips’ and ‘WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS’*1.

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.

Take room/object temperature
Make sure the thermometer is powered off. Press the Mem button for 3 seconds. The thermometer will turn on and switch to room/object temperature mode. Press the measure button to measure room/object. Keep the thermometer about 1-3cm away from the object. Press the Measure button, the thermometer will beep once it has completed the measurement and it will display the temperature on the display screen.

After a measurement
Once the reading has been completed, remove the thermometer away from the forehead and observe the 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 sensitive to the ambient temperature.
After each measurement, clean the temperature probe with a soft cloth and put the thermometer in a dry and well-ventilated lace.
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.

READING YOUR TEMPERATURE

T indicates a temperature reading in forehead mode.

1. If 89.6°F ≤ T ≤ 99.2°F (32°C ≤ T ≤ 37.3°C), the green light will last for 12 seconds, with one long beep.
2. If 99.3°F ≤ T ≤ 100.3°F (37.4°C ≤ T ≤ 37.9°C), the orange light will last for 12 seconds, with 3 short beeps, and the value in LCD flickers, which is a warning that you may have a light fever.
3. If 100.4°F ≤ T ≤ 109.2°F (38°C ≤ T ≤ 42.9°C), the red light will last for 12 seconds, with 5 short beeps, and the value in LCD flickers, which is a warning that you may have a high fever.

SWITCHING BETWEEN MUTE AND UN-MUTE

When the thermometer is turned on, keep short pressing the mute-unmute button for less than 1 second, to switch from un-mute to mute.

CHECKING 35 SETS OF MEMORY DATA

When the thermometer is turned on, by short pressing the Mem to go to the memory mode, press this button again to check the 35 sets of memories one by one. If no value, it will display “—M”

°C/°F CONVERSION

TO TURN OFF

The unit will shut down automatically after 10 seconds of no use. Or you can long-press the Measure button for 6 seconds to turn the device off.

CAUTION

1. All memory records will be lost when you uninstall/reinstall the batteries.
2. All settings will come to default when uninstalling the battery.
   If settings need to be adjusted, make sure to power on the device and apply the new settings.

REPLACING 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.

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 the 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.

5. Before placing the thermometer sensor on the forehead, remove dirt, hair, or sweat from the forehead area. Wait 10 minutes after cleaning before taking measurement.

6. 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.

7. 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

Use an alcohol swab or cotton swab moistened with 95% alcohol to clean the thermometer casing and the measuring probe. After the alcohol has completely dried out, you can take a new measurement. Ensure that no liquid enters the interior of the thermometer. Never use abrasive cleaning agents, thinners or benzene for cleaning and never immerse the instrument in water or other cleaning liquids. Take care not to scratch the surface of the LCD screen.
