USAGE
Indications for Use
The Non-Contact Forehead Thermometer is an infrared thermometer intended for the intermittent measurement of human body temperature in people of all ages.

Intended Operator:
At least 11 years old (5 years intensive reading experience), no maximum.

Ambient Temperature
If there is any temperature difference between the places where the device is stored and where it will be used, allow the thermometer to adjust to the room temperature where the subject is for at least 15 minutes before measurement.

Points of Attention

1.  Forehead temperature is displayed in oral mode. This mode converts the forehead temperature to display its “oral-equivalent” value.
2. Before the measurement, the subject should stay in a stable environment for 5 minutes and avoid exercise or bath for 30 minutes.
3. Keep the forehead area clean and free from sweat, cosmetics and scars while taking the temperature.
4. The “Clinical Bias” is -2.5 to -3.1°F (-1.4 to -1.7°C).
5. The “Limits of Agreement” is 0.98
6.  The “Repeatability” is 0.36°F (0.20°C)

BEFORE WE BEGIN

This thermometer has been designed for home use. It is not meant to replace a visit to the doctor. Compare the measurement result to your regular body temperature. Consult with doctor if you have health concerns.

BATTERY INSTALLATION

Replace battery when the Low Battery icon ( ) indicates the battery is low. Power off the unit before installing the batteries. A malfunction may occur if the power is on when the battery is installed. If a malfunction occurs, restart the device.

D. Forehead Mode
Forehead is the default mode of the THD2FE.

1. 1. Make sure that the sensor lens is clean and undamaged and that the forehead is clean.

2. Hold the sensor lens 1.5 inches (4 cm) or less from the center of the forehead and press the START button to get the temperature measurement.
3. Wait for the Forehead icon ( ) to stop flashing before taking the next measurement.

  *  **a. Temperature Alert  

** If the thermometer detects a temperature 99.5°F (37.5°C), three short beeps sound followed by one long beep.

  *  **b. Silent**
    1.  When the THD2FE is on, press and hold the POWER button for 3 seconds.
    2. The silent icon ( ) flashes on the display.

Recall up to 25 readings.
Note: As the memory gets full, the newer readings will replace the older readings.

    1. When the THD2FE is on, press the POWER ( ) button to see the temperature records in memory.
    2. The memory icon ( ) appears on the display.
    3. Press the Power button again to cycle through all of the previous readings starting with the most recent.

E. Surface Mode
Note: The surface mode shows the actual and unadjusted surface temperature which is different from the body temperature. It can help you monitor if the object temperature is suitable for the baby or patient, for example the baby’s milk.

1. Turn the thermometer on
2. Press and hold the POWER button and press the START button once to enter Surface mode.
3. The surface icon ( ) appears on the display.
4. Aim the sensor lens at the target and press the START button to display the surface temperature.
5. Press and hold the START button to get continuous measurements.
   Note: Applications include temperature measurements for water, milk, cloth, skin or other objects. Note: This mode shows the actual and unadjusted surface temperature which is different from the body temperature.
   Important: HAND WASH AND DRY. DO NOT IMMERSE IN LIQUID.

CARE OF YOUR PRODUCT ****

• The sensor lens is the most delicate part of the thermometer and should be kept clean at all times. Take care when cleaning the lens. Use only a soft cloth or cotton swab with water or rubbing alcohol. Allow the lens to dry fully for at least 1 minute before using the thermometer.
• Do not submerge any part of the thermometer in liquids. Keep it dry and away from any liquids and direct sunlight. Wipe clean with a damp cloth.
• Store the thermometer at room temperature between -4 to +122°F/­20 to +50°C, RH 85%.
• Avoid holding the thermometer too long. This could cause the body temperature measurement to be lower than usual.

PRECAUTIONS ****

• Dispose of used batteries promptly and keep away from children.
• Keep the thermometer and batteries away from children
•  Do not clean the case with abrasive or corrosive compound, which may scratch the plastic and corrode the electronic circuits.
•  Do not subject the unit to excessive force shock, dust, temperature or humidity, which may result in malfunction, shorter electronic life span, damaged battery and distorted parts.
• Do not tamper with the unit’s internal components. Doing so will invalidate the warranty on the unit and may cause unnecessary battery damage and distorted parts.
• Do not subject the unit to excessive exposure to direct sunlight. The unit is not waterproof — do not immerse it into water or expose to heavy rain.
• To avoid deformation, do not place the unit in extreme temperatures.
• Do not use the thermometer in a microwave oven. · Always read the user manual thoroughly before operating.
