OPERATION
Battery installation
Caution: The Non-Contact Infrared Body Thermometer does not operate with dead
batteries or external power sources. Install new batteries.
- Slide the battery door downward, toward the bottom of the Non-Contact Infrared Body Thermometer, and remove the battery access door;
- Insert two pieces AAA size batteries according to the “+” and “-”;
- Close the battery cover.
How to operate
Before applying the Thermometer, be sure to read and understand all warnings
listed of the instructions before use.
- The thermometer is aligned with the middle of the forehead to measure body temperature between the eyebrows above and keep the vertical distance, press the
On/scan button, temperature will display immediately, see figure 2.
Figure 2: Measuring position and distance
- When the ambient temperature of the thermometer changes too much, such as moving the Thermometer from one place of lower temperature to another place of higher temperature, allow the thermometer to remain in a room for 30 minutes where the temperature is between 15°C to 40°C.
- The ambient temperature around the test person should be stable, should keep away from the larger flow fan, air-conditioning vents and so on.
- When people moving from one place of lower temperature to another place of higher temperature, should at least remain in the test environment more than 5 minutes, to be consistent with the ambient temperature after the re-measurement.
- Wait at least 1 second for the next measurement. If the continuous measurement of five times, it is recommended to wait at least 30 seconds and then continue measurement.
- You cannot use the thermometer in place where the sun is strong.
- If for some reason the forehead temperature measurement is low, try measurement behind the ears. See figure 3.
Figure 3: Align behind the ears to measurement
GENERAL SET UP AND USE
Start measuring
- Turn on the thermometer by pressing the On/scan button. The thermometer will perform self-test with all segments displayed for 2 seconds.
- Align the thermometer with the forehead, keeping the recommended distance, and then press the ON/scan button to start the measurement. Data reading will be displayed.
Note:
- After measurement you will hear a “beep beep beep” three times which means that the measurement is complete. The temperature is displayed on the LCD. The LCD backlight colour will change red, green or yellow according to the measurement. Green means Normal Temperature (35.5-37.3°C / 95.9-99.1°F) ready for next measurement. Yellow means Slight Fever Warning (37.4-38.0°C / 99.3-100.4°F) Please pay attention to body temperature. Red means High Fever (38.1-43.0°C / 100.6-109.4°F) Please take action to cool down or go to the doctor.
- To ensure the accuracy of the measurement, wait at least 30 seconds after 5 consecutive measurements.
Mode conversion
- When the device is running, pressing the MODE button to cycle conversion between “body” mode and “surface” mode.
- “Body” mode is used for measuring human body temperature, the “surface “ mode is used to measure the surface temperature. (The factory default is “body” mode)
Recalling and Erasing Memory Data
The last temperature taken before the thermometer powers off is stored in
memory, up to 50.
- In the boot or shutdown state, short press the MEMO button to view the history of measured values.
- An empty memory cell shows “—°C” or “—°F”.
- Temperature readings can be stored in memory. Up to 50 temperature readings can be stored into the memory cells and automatically overwrite historical data.
- In boot mode, press the MEMO button until the LCD display “CLR”, which means that all stored data is cleared completely.
Parameter settings
As below step:
-
Unit Set-F1
Under the boot mode, long press the “MODE” button to enter F1, press the “MODE” or “MEMO”button to switch Celsius and Fahrenheit temperature units, press the On/ Scan button to confirm the unit settings (factory default is Celsius). -

BODY TEMPERATURE
- Body temperature varies from person to person and fluctuates during the course of the day. For this reason, it is suggested to know one’s normal, healthy forehead temperature to correctly determine the temperature.
- Body temperature runs approximately from 35.5°C to 37.8°C (95.9°F-100°F). To determine if one has a fever, compare the temperature detected with the person’s normal temperature. A rise over the reference body temperature of 1°C (1°F) or more is generally indication of fever.
- Different measurement sites (rectal, axillary, oral, frontal, auricular) will give different readings. Therefore it is wrong to compare the measurement taken from different sites.
- Here below are typical temperatures for adults, based on different measurement sites:
Rectal: 36.6°C to 38°C /97.9°F-99.1°F
Axillary: 34.7°C to 37.3°C /94.5°F-99.1°F
ASTM laboratory accuracy requirements in the display range of 37°C (98°F to 102°F) for IR thermometers is ±0.2.(±0.4°F), whereas for mercury-in-glass and electronic thermometers, the requirement per ASTM Standards E667-86 and E1112-86 is ±0.1.(±0.2°F).
Caution: This infrared thermometer meets requirements established in ASTM Standard (E1965-98) Except of clause 5.2.2. It displays the subject’s temperature over a range of 34.0°C ~43.0°C. Full responsibility for the conformance of this product to the standard is assumed by (Hetaida Technology Co., Ltd.
