Safety Information

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.

Intended use
The medicine non-contact infrared body thermometer TM A79 is designed to be used for intermittent measurement and monitoring of human body temperature by consumers in the home setting and primary care setting as a screening tool. Additionally, the device is suitable to measure the temperature of objects in the range of 0°C to 100°C (32°F – 212°F).

• 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.

• This product is designed to measure human body temperature on the forehead. Do not use it for any other purpose.

• Do not use the thermometer if it malfunctions or has been damaged in any matter.

• This product must be operated in a stable environment. If the ambient conditions are changeable, the sensor may mist up, causing an incorrect measurement.
  Clean the sensor according to the section „Care and Storage“.

•  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 between15°C to 40°C (59°F- 104°F).

• Remove batteries if the equipment is not likely to be used for a long time.

• This product is not waterproof, does not immerse in water or other liquid; for cleaning and disinfection, please follow the „Care and Storage“ section requirements.

• Do not touch the IR sensor with your fingers.

• Avoid taking fever measurements if measures have been taken beforehand to cool the user (e.g. cold forehead compresses, etc.)

• For the measurement of human forehead temperature, select „body“ mode; for measuring other objects, liquids, food, and other temperatures select „surface“ mode.

•  Do not use near-strong electrostatic or magnetic fields to avoid inaccurate measurement results.

• It may affect the accuracy of measurements when the forehead is covered by hair, perspiration, cap or scarf.

• 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.
• The device should be kept out of the reach of children/pets.
• When not in use, store the device in a dry room and protect it against extreme moisture, heat, lint, dust and direct sunlight. Never place any heavy objects on the device.
• This thermometer will not replace diagnostics in hospitals.
• Do not disassemble or modify the device. Do not let it fall down.
• Do not use this device if you think it is damaged or if you notice anything unusual. The continuous use of a damaged unit may cause injury, improper results or other serious dangers.
• This device comprises sensitive components and must be treated with caution. Observe the storage and operating conditions described in the „Technical Specifications“ section.
• No servicing/maintenance while the thermometer is in use.
• Never touch batteries and the patient simultaneously.
• Based on the current science and technology, no potential allergic reactions are known.
• This equipment needs to be installed and put into service in accordance with the information provided in this instruction manual.

What is fever?

• 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 an indication of fever.

• Different measurement sites (rectal, axillary, oral, frontal, auricular) will provide 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 – 38°C / 97.9°F – 100.4°F
  – Axillary: 34.7°C – 37.3°C / 94.5°F – 99.1°F

Removing/inserting batteries
If the low battery indicator 12 or nothing appears in the LC-display 1 after a certain period of use, you must replace the batteries with two new 1 .5V-batteries (type AAA / LR03).

Battery replacement: Slide the lid of the battery compartment cover downwards and take the cover off. Take out the batteries. Put in two new 1.5V- batteries (AAA / LR03). Make sure the batteries are the right way around. Put the battery compartment cover back on and move it upwards until it locks into position.

Operation – General notes:
The ambient temperature should be stable. Keep the device away from the larger flow fans, direct sunlight, air-conditioning vents, and so on.
Wait at least 30 seconds between each measurement. If for some reason the forehead temperature measurement cannot be realized, try to align behind the ears (see below).
Setting the measuring mode
When the device is running, pressing the MODE-button 6 to switch 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).

Perform fever measurement

1. Turn on the thermometer by pressing the ON button 3. The thermometer will perform a self-test with all segments displayed for 2 seconds.

2. Immediately align the thermometer with the middle of the forehead to measure body temperature (between the eyebrows) and keep a distance of 1 – 5 cm.
   Alternatively, you may use an alignment behind the ears.
   After measurement, a sound will be emitted and the temperature will be displayed.
   If you hear three beeps, the measurement was not successful. Press the ON button 3 again and repeat the measurement.
   

3. Depending on the measured body temperature the backlight LCD display will change the colors: Green means normal temperature (35.5°C37.3°C / 95.9°F-99.1°F), yellow means slight fever (37.4°C-38.0°C / 99.3°F-100.4°F) and red means high fever (38.1°C-43.0°C / 100.6°F-109.4°F).

Perform surface measurement

1. Turn on the thermometer by pressing the ON button
2. The thermometer will perform a self-test with all segments displayed for 2 seconds.
3. Aim the sensor at the center of the object at a distance of min. 5 to max. 15 cm. If it is covered with water, dust or dirt, remove this first to optimize the measurement result.
4. In surface mode, the backlight is always green.

Recalling and erasing memory data
The last temperature taken before the thermometer powers off is automatically stored in memory (max. 50 results).
With the unit switched off, press the MEMO button 5 to call up the values stored in memory.
If not all 50 memory locations are occupied, „—°C“ or „—°F“ may appear.
If you press and hold the MEMO button 5 for about 2 seconds during the memory display, „CLR“ appears in the display and the stored data is deleted.
In addition, an acoustic signal sounds.
Parameter settings
The device allows some individual settings (F1 to F3): Press and holds the SET-button 4 when the instrument is switched on to modify these settings.
F1: Measurement unit. °C or °F.
F2: Fever alarm temperature
F3: Sound on/off Press the MODE-button 6 or the MEMO-button 5 to adjust the value and the SET-button 4 to confirm and proceed to the next setting (after F3 the setting mode is completed).
Restoring the factory settings
With the device switched on, press and hold the MODE-button 6 until „rest“ appears on the display. 2 seconds later the factory settings for parameters F1 to F3 are restored (F1=°C;
F2=38.1°C; F3=on).
