Safety Information

IMPORTANT INFORMATION! RETAIN FOR FUTURE USE!
Read the instruction manual carefully before using this device, especially the safety instructions, and keep the instruction manual for future use. Should you give this device to another person, it is vital that you also pass on these instructions for use.

• Only use the unit for the specific purpose described in the instruction manual. Any misuse will void the warranty.

• The unit is not designed for commercial use.

• Using this thermometer is no substitute for consulting a doctor.

• The thermometer and the patient must remain in a stable environment for at least 30 minutes before measuring the temperature.

• This device is not designed to be used by persons (including children) with limited physical, sensory or mental abilities, or by persons with insufficient experience and/or knowledge, unless under observation by a person responsible for their safety, or unless they have been instructed in the use of the device.

• Children must be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the device.

• The temperature in the forehead and temple area differs from the internal temperature, which is taken orally or rectally.
  Vasoconstriction, an effect that constricts the blood vessels and cools the skin, can occur during the early stages of a fever. In this case, the temperature measured by this thermometer may be unusually low. If the measurement, therefore, does not match the patient’s own perception or is unusually low, repeat the measurement every 15 minutes. As a reference, you can also measure the internal body temperature using a conventional oral or rectal thermometer.

• A control measurement using a conventional thermometer is recommended in the following cases:
  1. If the reading is surprisingly low
  2. For new-born infants up to 100 days old
  3. For children under three years of age who have a weakened immune system or who react unusually in the presence or absence of fever
  4. If you are using the thermometer for the first time or want to familiarise yourself with it

• Babies’ skin reacts very quickly to the ambient temperature. Therefore, do not take their temperature with this thermometer
  during or after breastfeeding, because the skin temperature may then be lower than the internal body temperature.

• If a fault occurs or the unit is damaged, do not attempt to repair the unit yourself, as this will void the warranty. Contact your dealer and only have repairs carried out by authorized service partners.

• Do not modify and/or open the device. It contains small parts which might be swallowed by children.

• Do not use the thermometer if it is damaged.

• Do not use the thermometer in damp environments. Do not immerse the thermometer in water or other liquids. It is not
  watertight.

• This device comprises sensitive components and must be treated with caution. Observe the storage and operating conditions described in the «Technical Specifications» section.

• Do not use this device close to strong electromagnetic fields such as mobile telephones or radio installations.

• Keep a minimum distance of 3.3 m from such devices when using this device.

• Do not shake or tap the thermometer. Do not drop it.

• Protect the device from direct sunlight, extremely high or low temperatures, dirt, and dust.

• If the thermometer is not going to be used for a long period, remove the battery.

WARNING – The measurement results obtained by this thermometer do not represent a diagnosis and do not replace the consultation of a doctor, who should always be consulted in case of doubt.

Taking a temperature reading – quickly and accurately!
The medicine infrared multifunctional thermometer allows precise, contact-free measurement of body temperature (at a distance of approximately 2.5 cm). The temperature is taken above the eyebrow between the forehead and the temple. The value of the energy radiated there is measured and converted to a temperature value. The reading is displayed within 3 seconds. This enables you, for example, to take babies’ temperature without disturbing their sleep.

Additional function: Apart from measuring body temperature, the Infrared multifunctional thermometer can also be used to measure the temperature of objects (e.g. fluids, surfaces, ambient temperature). The temperature range for this function is between 0° and 100° Celsius (32°F – 212°F).

Operation – Getting started

Settings

After inserting a battery, the device will automatically execute a self-test. All elements of the LC-display 4 are shown for approx. 1 second. Afterward, the device switches to the setting mode (the display shows «SET» and the flashing year figure and date symbol). Use the START button 5 to adjust the year and press the on-/off-button 6 to confirm the setting. Now adjust month, day, hour, and minute in the same way. After the date has been set, you can choose the unit of measure (degree Celsius „°C“ or degree Fahrenheit „°F“). Again press the on-/off-button 6 to confirm. The device will switch off automatically.

NOTES

• The device will automatically switch off if there is no input for approx. 20 seconds.
• You can also enter the setting mode manually by pressing and holding the on-/off-button 6 for at
• least 8 seconds while the device is switched off until the flashing year figure appears on the display.

Before use
Acclimatize the thermometer to the temperature of the room: For an accurate reading of a patient’s temperature, their body must first acclimatize to the temperature of the room where the measurement will be made. The same applies to the Infrared multifunctional thermometer TM 760 / TM 762. When taken somewhere else, it automatically adjusts itself to the new environment. The thermometer takes a certain amount of time to equalize its own temperature to that of the room. This depends on the difference between the two temperatures and can take more than 30 minutes. Precise readings can only be taken once this process is completed.

Measuring body temperature

NOTES For the most accurate readings:

• Do not take a baby’s temperature during or directly after breastfeeding.
• Patients should not drink or eat directly before or during measurement, and they should avoid any physical exertion.
• Clean the area where you are taking the temperature and remove any dirt, hairs, or sweat before moving sensor 2 to the measuring position.
• Do not remove the thermometer from the measuring position until it has beeped to signal the end of the reading.
• If the sensor becomes dirty during or after a reading, clean it with a cotton bud dipped in cleaning alcohol before putting the thermometer away.
• Always take the temperature in the same place, because the readings will vary in different environments.

The thermometer has been clinically tested, and its safety and accuracy inspected and confirmed, provided it is used in accordance with these instructions.

1. Press the on-/off-button 6 to switch on the thermometer. „On“ appears on the display shortly, then a self-test is executed in which all elements of display 4 are shown for approx. 1 second.
