V.01

I. INTENDED USE

This device is an infrared thermometer that is intended to measure the forehead temperature of individuals of all ages without making contact with the individual whose temperature is being taken. It can be used by consumers in household environment and doctor in clinic as reference.

II. WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS

• Only use this thermometer once you have read and understood the instructiofor use.

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

• This thermometer may be used for professional purposes or for personal home use.

• Using this thermometer is not a substitute for consulting a doctor and seeking medical assistance as needed. Do not self-diagnose or self-medicate on the basis of a self-measurement without consulting your doctor and obtaining your doctor’s approval. Specially, do not take any new medication or change the type and/or dosage of any existing medication without consulting your doctor and obtaining your doctor’s approval.

• Children must not be allowed to use this thermometer. Medical device is not toy.

• If this thermometer is stored in a location that is cooler or warmer than where it is being used, let it sit in the patient’s room for at least 30 minutes before taking the measurement.

• After physical activity, a bath or spending time outdoors, wait approx. 30 minutes before you take a measurement on your forehead.

• To ensure an accurate measurement, this device must only be used indoors when the ambient temperature range is between 10°C (50°F) and 40°C (104°F).

• This thermometer must be kept in a clean, dry area.

• Do not expose this thermometer to electric shocks.

• Do not expose this thermometer to extreme temperature conditions of greater than 55°C (131°F) or less than -20°C (-4°F).

• Do not use this thermometer in relative humidity higher than 85%.

• Do not expose the thermometer to direct sunlight, extremely high or low temperatures, dirt or dust.

• Do not drop this thermometer.

• DO NOT TOUCH THE GLASS OF THE INFRARED SENSOR WITH YOUR FINGERS AS IT IS EXTREMELY FRAGILE AND COULD CAUSE INJURY.

• For cleaning, follow the instructions in section IX Cleaning and maintenance.

• Do not use this thermometer if it is damaged.

• Do not open up this thermometer. It contains small parts which might be swallowed by children.

• Do not expose the thermometer to water or other liquid, as it is not water resistant or waterproof.

• If an error occurs or if the device is damaged, DO NOT attempt to repair this device yourself, as this will void the warranty. Contact your dealer and only have repairs carried out by authorized service partners.

• Remove the batteries if you do not wish to use the unit for an extended period of time. Otherwise there is a danger that the batteries may leak.

• Keep the thermometer away from electromagnetic fields produced by objects such as microwave ovens, arc welders or induction heaters.

• 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.

IV. HOW TO USE YOUR NON-CONTACT INFRARED THERMOMETER

1. Install 2 AA batteries according to instructions provided in Section VII.
2. For the first time use after installing batteries, wait 10-15 minutes for the device to warm up and adjust to the room temperature.
3. Press On/Scan button, place 3-5 cm (1.2-2 in) away from forehead, aim lens toward forehead. Make sure the measurement mode is “BODY”, press the thermometer’s On/Scan button, and the temperature will be displayed instantly.
4. Before taking an individual’s temperature, make sure any hair, dirt or dust is removed from forehead and forehead is dry. Wait 10 minutes after such removal prior to measuring temperature.

For reliable results:

• Do NOT attempt to take an individual’s temperature by aiming the device at a body part other than the forehead (i.e. arms, legs, torso, etc.).
• Do NOT move the thermometer before the final result is displayed.
• Do NOT take an individual’s temperature near any drafts (i.e. wind, air conditioner, fans).
• Do NOT take an individual’s temperature shortly after he or she participated in vigorous physical activity, bathed, took medicine, ate or drink, or had a cold or warm compress on his or her forehead.
• Do NOT take an individual’s temperature when there has been a significant change in ambient conditions. Allow the device to adjust to a significant change in the ambient temperature due to a change in environment for 30 minutes before using the device.
• Wait at least 3 to 5 seconds between measurements.
• We recommend that you take three measurements on the forehead, and if the results of three measurements are different, use the one with the highest value.”

V. TURNING ON AND SETTING THE THERMOMETER

THE SCREEN DISPLAYS TEMPERATURE HIGHER THAN 43.0°C (109.4°F):
The temperature is in Fahrenheit. Change the measurement to Celsius.

THE SCREEN DISPLAYS TEMPERATURE LOWER THAN 32.0°C (89.6°F):
To take the surface temperature, press the “MODE” button and set to the reading called “Body” , If the device is in Surface Temp Mode, the 89.6°F (32.0°C) temperature displayed is showing the external temperature of your body, rather than the internal.

THE SCREEN DISPLAYS THE MESSAGE HI
When using the JXB-182 Thermometer, the message “HI” can show on the screen. In this case,the temperature is above the measurement range selected, either above 43.0°C (109.4°F) in Body Mode.

THE SCREEN DISPLAYS THE MESSAGE LO
When using the JXB-182 Thermometer, the message “LO” can show on the screen. In this case, the temperature analyzed is under the measuring range selected, either less than 32.0°C (89.6°F) in Body Mode.

This message displays for various reasons. Please find below a list of the main issues:

Reasons for LO message display

Advice

---|---
Temperature reading hampered by hair or perspiration.| Make sure there is no obstruction or dampness prior to taking temperature.
Temperature hampered by an air draft or dramatic change in ambient temperature.| Make sure there is no air blowing in the area of use; this could affect the infrared reading.
Temperature readings are too close together, and the thermometer did not have time to reboot.| Wait a minimum of 3 to 5 seconds between readings; a 15 second pause is recommended
The measuring distance is too far.| Hold the device 1.2-2 inches (3-5 cm) away from forehead.

NOTE 1 At 80 MHz and 800 MHz, the higher frequency range applies.
NOTE 2 These guidelines may not apply in all situations. Electromagnetic propagation is affected by absorption and reflection from structures, objects and people.
a| Field strengths from fixed transmitters, such as base stations for radio (cellular/ cordless) telephones and land mobile radios, amateur radio, AM and FM radio broadcast and TV broadcast cannot be predicted theoretically with accuracy. To assess the electromagnetic environment due to fixed RF transmitters, an electromagnetic site survey should be considered. If the measured field strength in the location in which the “JXB-182” is used exceeds the applicable RF compliance level above, the Medical JXB-182 should be observed to verify normal operation. If abnormal performance is observed, additional measures may be necessary, such as reorienting or relocating the “JXB-182”.
b| Over the frequency range 150 kHz to 80 MHz, field strengths should be less than 3 V/m.

Recommended separation distances between portable and mobile RF communications equipment and the Medical JXB-182

The “JXB-182” is intended for use in an electromagnetic environment in which radiated RF disturbances are controlled. The customer or the user of the Medical JXB-182 can help prevent electromagnetic interference by maintaining a minimum distance between portable and mobile RF communications equipment (transmitters) and the “JXB-182 as recommended below, according to the maximum output power of the communications equipment.
