Put the thermometer on the temple then it beeps one time to present measurement completion.
-
If the temperature reading is over 99.5°F (37.5°C), eight consecutive beeps will be heard to indicate a fever alarm.
-
Once the measurement is done and the reading is recorded then you will hear 2 beeps ready to take the next measurement.
-
Turn off the unit by pressing the POWER button, or the unit will automatically turn off after 60 seconds of inactivity.

PRECAUTION
- Use the thermometer to measure your temple temperature only, the place between the eyehole and the hairline, close to the temporal artery.
- Do not place the thermometer on scarred tissue, open sores, or abrasions.
- Using drug therapies may raise forehead temperature, which may lead to incorrect measurements.
- Do not dismantle the unit unless replacing the batteries.
- Children should not use the thermometer if being alone, without the supervision of adults.
- The thermometer is not shockproof. Do not drop the thermometer or shock it heavily.
- The thermometer is not waterproof. Do not immerse it in liquid of all kinds including water.
- To ensure correct readings, please wait for at least 2 minutes between continuous measurements for the thermometer to return to room temperature.
- Do not use the thermometer when flammable materials are around.
- Stop using the thermometer once malfunctions appear or it operates abnormally.
- Clean the thermometer probe before measuring.
- Do not take measurement of temple skin if it is exposed to direct sunlight, fireplace heat and air conditioner flow, as this may lead to incorrect readings.
- If thermometer has been put at below-freezing temperatures, please wait for at least 1 hour for it to return to room temperature before measuring.
- Being operated or stored outside the stated temperature and humidity ranges and measuring the patient whose temperature is below the room temperature may degrade the performance of the thermometer.
- Body temperature, like blood pressure, varies from person to person, and during the day, it may range from 35.5°C to 37.8°C (95.9°F to 100.0°F). For some people, it may show some difference from their normal temple temperature. It is recommended to learn and recognize the temple temperature while healthy. For accurate results, measure the same area of the temple each time of measuring.
- Avoid taking measurements within 30 minutes after physical exercise, bathing, or eating.
- Keep the temporal area dry and clean from sweat, make-up, etc.
- Calibration is recommended every two years.
- Follow the national requirement to dispose of units.

PARTS DESCRIPTION
What are normal temperature values?
Human body temperature varies from person to person. One person’s body
temperatures are different from time to time as well. Therefore, it is very
important to know your normal body temperature range. Thus we recommend you
measure yourself when healthy to establish referenced temperatures which will
make you feel more confident of the measured temperature when ill.

FAQS
Is 99.4 a fever temporal?
Normal body temperature ranges from 97.5°F to 99.5°F (36.4°C to 37.4°C). It tends to be lower in the morning and higher in the evening. Most healthcare providers consider a fever to be 100.4°F (38°C) or higher. A person with a temperature of 99.6°F to 100.3°F has a low-grade fever.
What is the most accurate digital medical thermometer?
Katz says that digital rectal thermometers are the most accurate at measuring core temperature.
How do you change a thermometer from Fahrenheit to degrees?
If you have an electronic thermometer or frontal thermometer with more functions, you will usually have a “MODE” key or “℃/℉” key above the thermometer. Give it a short press, and the display toggles between F and C (The display also shows the label ℃ or ℉ so you can tell what it’s displaying).
Where do you place a digital forehead thermometer?
Aim the probe of the thermometer at the center of the forehead and maintain a distance of less than 1.18in(3cm) away (the ideal distance will be the width of an adult finger). Do not touch the forehead directly. Gently press the measurement button [ ] to start measuring.
Where do you place a digital forehead thermometer?
If the measured body temperature is within the normal range (96.8°F-99.5°F), the backlight will remain green. If it is elevated (99.5°F-100.3°F) the backlight will change to orange, and if it’s high (>100.3°F), it will change to red.
What do the Colours mean on forehead thermometer?
New research suggests that a temporal artery thermometer might also provide accurate readings in newborns. 3 months to 4 years. In this age range you can use a digital thermometer to take a rectal or an armpit temperature or you can use a temporal artery thermometer.
Can a temporal thermometer be used under the arm?
New research suggests that a temporal artery thermometer might also provide accurate readings in newborns. 3 months to 4 years. In this age range you can use a digital thermometer to take a rectal or an armpit temperature or you can use a temporal artery thermometer.
Which temp is more accurate forehead or temple?
Rectal temps are the most accurate. Forehead temps are the next most accurate. Oral and ear temps are also accurate if done properly. Temps done in the armpit are the least accurate.
What is considered a fever with a temple thermometer?
Advertising revenue supports our not-for-profit mission. The following thermometer readings generally indicate a fever: Rectal, ear or temporal artery temperature of 100.4 (38 C) or higher. Oral temperature of 100 F (37.8 C) or higher.
