2. What you should know about using this thermometer
Before using a forehead thermometer, an ear thermometer or a conventional rod
thermometer, the following should be noted: The different thermometers listed
above are suitable for measuring body temperature in different parts of the
body: forehead thermometer: measurement only on the forehead, ear thermometer:
measurement only in the ear, rod thermometer: rectal (in the back passage),
axillary (under the arm) or oral measurement (in the mouth). The temperature
varies depending on the part of the body where the measurement is taken. The
difference in healthy persons between different parts of the body can be
between 0.2 – 1°C. The approximate normal temperature ranges are as follows:
- forehead temperature – measured with a forehead thermometer: 35.8 °C to 37.6 °C.
- Ear temperature, measured with an ear thermometer: 36.0 °C to 37.8 °C.
- Rectal temperature, measured with a conventional thermometer: 36.3 °C to 37.8 °C.
- orally measured temperature – measured with a conventional thermometer: 36.0 °C to 37.4 °C.
Beurer-Tip:
Temperatures measured with different thermometers cannot be compared with one
another. You should therefore tell your doctor or bear in mind if you are
diagnosing yourself what thermometer you used to take your temperature and in
what part of the body.
The temperature of a healthy person is also influenced by the following factors:
- The person’s individual metabolism.
- Age (body temperature is higher in babies and small children and falls with increasing age. Greater temperature fluctuations occur faster and more often in children).
- Clothing.
- The outside temperature.
- The time of day (body temperature is lower in the morning and increases during the day towards evening).
- Preceding physical and, to a lesser extent, mental activity.
3. Description of device
4. Functions
This infrared thermometer is for measuring
– temperature at a person’s forehead,
– surface temperature of objects and liquids,
– ambient temperatures.
The thermometer also offers additional functionalities:
– 9 memory locations for simple plotting of changes in temperature,
– date and time, also with all stored temperatures measured,
– Optical and acoustic fever alarm at temperatures over 37.5 °C,
– switchable to °C and °F.
5. Operation
Remove the protective cap and switch on the thermometer with the “ ” button.
After a short self-test and two short beep tones, the thermometer is ready for
forehead temperature measurement.
5.1 Setting time and date
With the thermometer switched on, hold the “ POWER ” button depressed for
5 seconds. As soon as the “ SET ” symbol appears in the display, you can
use the “ SCAN ” button to set in turn the 12 or 24 hour mode, hour,
minute, year, month and day (‚24‘ appears in the display for the 24-hour
mode). Confi rm the values set in each case with the “ POWER ” button.
5.2 Batteries
The Type 3V CR2032 battery is already fi tted and depending on usage has a
life of around 3000 measurements. When the battery gets weak, the battery
warning symbol appears . It is still possible to measure the temperature.
Battery must be replaced. When the battery symbol fl ashes , the battery must
be exchanged by sliding the battery compartment cover off to the rear. Switch
off the device, press the batttery compartment lock with a sharp object and
slide the battery compartment cover downwards at the same time. Insert a new
battery of the same type with the positive pole at the top. Close the battery
compartment cover again.
Used batteries should not go into domestic refuse. You are legally obliged to
dispose of the batteries correctly. Dispose of them through your electrical
dealer or local recycling centre.
Note: you will fi nd these symbols on batteries containing toxic
substances: Pb = battery contains lead, Cd = battery contains cadmium, Hg =
battery contains mercury. The battery in this device does not contain toxic
substances.
6. During use
Always ensure that the sensor is clean and undamaged. Switch on the
thermometer with the “ POWER ” button.
6.1 Forehead measurement
After a short self-test and two short beeps, the thermometer is ready for
measuring the temperature at the forehead/temple. The infrared thermometer is
in ‘Forehead thermometer’ mode. This is indicated by the symbol FORHEAD.
Note that
– the thermometer must have been at least 30 minutes in the room in which the
measurement is made,
– the measuring result may be falsifi ed by physical activity, fundamentally
increased sweat formation on the forehead, consumption of vasoconstrictive
medications and skin irritations,
– the forehead or temple must be free of sweat and cosmetics.
Apply the thermometer to the left or right temple and press the “SCAN” button.
Move the thermometer to and over the temple. During the measurement you can
hear short beeps signalling that the thermometer has found a new maximum
temperature. The end of the measuring time is signalled with a long beep.
Release the “SCAN” button. You can now read off the temperature measured. The
LED is also illuminated according to the test result: a green LED indicates
that body temperature is within the normal range, but a red LED lights up with
measured values over 37.5 °C, i.e. it is a fever alarm. The measurement
normally takes from 5 to 8 seconds, but can take up to 30 seconds.
The thermometer signals with two short beeps and a no longer flashing forehead
symbol that the thermometer is ready for a new measurement.
6.2 Saving the temperatures measured
The temperature last measured, i.e. only the last temperature of a series
measured, is saved automatically as soon as the thermometer is switched off.
There are 9 memory locations available for this.
You can call up the last temperature measured with the “ POWER ” button.
The date and time are also shown. The LED does not support any requests for
stored measured values. If you continue to hold down the “ POWER ” , you
will enter a special measuring mode, in which the thermometer will not make a
correct measurement. In this event, allow the thermometer to switch off
automatically after about 1 minute and then switch it on again.
6.3 Surface temperatures
When you want to measure surface temperatures with this infrared thermometer,
you must change to the “ SCAN ” mode.
With the thermometer switched on (standard forehead thermometer mode) keep the
“ SCAN ” button depressed and at the same time press the “ SCAN ”
button. This mode is indicated with the symbol. If you keep the “ SCAN ”
button depressed, the surface temperature measured is continuously displayed.
You can apply the sensor tip directly to the surface to be measured or measure
at close range (do not immerse in liquids).
Note that the temperature displayed is the surface temperature measured but
not adjusted. It cannot be compared with the forehead temperature.
6.4 Ambient temperature
After the measurement, the thermometer automatically switches to standby mode
after about 1 minute, but only if the time has been set. This mode is
identified by the symbol and the ambient temperature is shown continuously.
If you want to use the thermometer to measure the ambient temperature, it
should be positioned so that the measurement is not influenced by solar
radiation or other influences such as cold draughts from air-conditioning
systems. In addition to the ambient temperature, which is updated once every
minute, the date and time are displayed alternately.
6.5 Changing the temperature unit
You can display the temperature in degrees Celsius (°C) or degrees Fahrenheit
(°F). With the thermometer switched off or in standby mode, select the unit by
holding down the “ SCAN ” button and at the same time pressing the “
POWER ” button. Keep the two buttons depressed until the temperature unit
changes. All stored temperatures are displayed in the new temperature unit.
