FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
1. What is the best method for taking a temperature with the SLS-IRCT30?
Please ensure you follow the recommended temperature testing distance, testing
the subject or object at 1-5 cm distance. As a guide, pull the trigger at 5cm
and move closer to the forehead until you get a reading. For optimal accuracy,
a closer range will provide a more accurate reading.
2. What does a reading of “Lo” mean?
If the SLS-IRCT30 gives a reading of “Lo” it is still providing a clear
reading, this indicates that the subject’s forehead is cold. As this reading
is not above the fever range there is no cause for concern.
For optimal accuracy, a closer range will provide a more accurate reading. For
best results, please take measurements under an ambient temperature between
10°C and 40°C.
3. What is the correct setting for taking accurate temperature
measurements for people?
When testing forehead temperatures, please ensure you use the “Forehead
Temperature” mode which is accessed with the middle “Mode” M button.
When taking the forehead temperature, point the IR sensor to the centre of the
forehead. Move the thermometer towards the forehead. The distance between the
thermometer and the forehead must be 1-5 cm (½” to 2”). Pull the Trigger
button and release when a reading is displayed. The forehead temperature will
be displayed on the screen.
Please ensure the forehead has no sweat and no hairs covered before measuring
the forehead temperature; otherwise, the result could be incorrect.
4. What is the correct setting for taking accurate temperature
measurements for objects?
When testing object temperatures, please use the “Object Temperature” home
mode.
When taking the object temperature, Point the IR sensor to the centre of the
object. The distance between the thermometer and the object must be 1-5 cm (½”
to 2”). Press and release the Trigger button. The object temperature will be
displayed on the screen.
5. How do I switch between “Forehead Temperature” and “Object Temperature”
mode?
In a power-on state, press the “Mode”M button to switch between “Forehead
Temperature” and “Object temperature” mode. The icon will switch between a
human profile icon and a house icon home as the “Mode” M button is pressed.
The symbol indicates the Body Temperature mode. The Home symbol indicates the
Object Temperature mode.
6. What is a “normal” reading?
When the temperature reading is between 34.9°C and 37.5°C, there will be a
long beep and a green backlight which indicates normal temperature reading.
When the temperature reading is between 37.6°Cand 42.2°C, there will be 3
short double beeps and a red backlight. This indicates that the body
temperature is a little high and you may have a fever. Please consult your
doctor if you are not sure.
7. How does cold ambient temperature (i.e. using outside on a cold day)
affect the reading?
The ambient temperature and distance of testing are important factors in
ensuring an accurate temperature result. The ambient temperature must not be
extremely high or low. To ensure accurate readings, please keep the
thermometer inside in a temperature controlled room or in your pocket for 30
minutes prior to use.
For best results, please take measurements under an ambient temperature
between 10°C and 40°C.
8. What do the lights and beeps mean?
When the temperature reading is between 34.9°C and 37.5°C, there will be a
long beep and a green backlight which indicates normal temperature reading.
When the temperature reading is between 37.6°C and 42.2°C, there will be 3
short double beeps and a red backlight. This indicates that the body
temperature is a little high and you may have a fever. Please consult your
doctor if you are not sure.

10. Other tips
- Please remove the batteries if you don’t intend to use the thermometer for more than 2 months.
- Do not take body temperature readings within 20 minutes after you do physical exercise as the reading may not be accurate of your body temperature.
- Do not touch the tip of the temperature probe as it is directly connected with the sensor.
- In case the ambient temperature is either too hot or too cold, please let the thermometer adjust to room temperature by keeping it idle for 30 minutes before use.
- Operating temperature of the thermometer is between 10°C and 40°C.
- During measurement, do not use a mobile phone or any other device that may cause electromagnetic interference right near the thermometer.
- Normal body temperature varies by the time of day and is also affected by external factors. The body temperature of an individual is the lowest between 2:00 a.m. and 4:00 a.m. and the highest between 14:00 p.m. and 20:00 p.m. An individual’s body temperature typically changes by less than 1°C each day.
- The thermometer automatically powers off if it is not used for 10 seconds.
