Function
How to measure temple temperature
- Always make sure the probe is clean, and without damage.
- Press “ON/OFF/Memory” button to power on the device.
- Vertically aim the thermometer at the temple with a distance of less than 5 cm. If the temple is covered with hair, sweat or dirt, remove the obstacle from the temple to improve the measuring accuracy.
- Press the “Start” button to take temperature. Measurement is complete when you hear a long beep sound.
- Read the recorded temperature from the LCD display.
- Clean the probe after each use to ensure an accurate reading and avoid cross contamination. ( See the section of Care and Cleaning for details.)
- Remember to put in the storage case when not in use.
Switching between Fahrenheit and Celsius
- Make sure the device is off. (Or you can turn off the device by pressing and holding the “On/Off/Memory” button for 3 seconds.)
- Hold onto the “Start“ button, then press and hold the “On/Off/ Memory” button until °C appears on the LCD.
- Press the “On/Off/Memory” button to select the desired scale °C or °F, once you decide the scale, wait for 5 seconds and the setting will be confirmed while you will hear 2 short beep sounds.
How to measure object temperature
When you want to measure object temperature, you have to change to Object Mode.
- Make sure the device is turned off.
- Press and hold down the “Start” button. After about 3 seconds, the display will show this sequence:
3. Release the “Start” button when the desired measurement mode is shown and 1 short beep sound will be heard.
4. When you are at Object Mode, press the “Start” button to get the real temperature.
Note:
- Applications include temperature measurements for Water, Milk, Cloth, Skin or other object.
- This mode shows the actual, unadjusted object temperatures, which is different from the body temperature.
Care and cleaning
- The probe is the most delicate part of the thermometer. Use with care when cleaning the lens to avoid damage.
- After the measurement, please use the cotton swab with the Alcohol (70% concentration) to clean the inside of the probe, including lens and metal parts.
- Allow the probe to fully dry for at least 5 minutes.
- Storage temperature range: It should be stored at room temperature between -25~+55°C, RH<=95%
- Keep the unit dry and away from any liquids and direct sunlight.
- The probe should not be submerged into liquids.
- Please check the device if damaged once it falls. If you can’t make sure of it, please send the complete device to the nearest retailer for re-calibration.
- Holding the thermometer too long may cause a higher ambient temperature reading of the probe. This could make the body temperature measurement lower than usual. Please try not to touch the thermometer probe part for avoiding the incorrect reading.
