2. Product Description

Overview
Infrared Thermometer measures the body temperature based on the infrared energy emitted from the forehead. Users can quickly get measurement results after properly scanning the forehead.

Normal body temperature is a range. The following tables show that this normal range also varies by site. Therefore, readings from different sites should not be directly compared. Tell your doctor what type of thermometer you used to take your temperature and on what part of the body.

Also bear this in mind if you are diagnosing yourself.

02. Structure

The thermometer consists of a shell, a LCD, a measure button, a beeper, an infrared temperature sensor, and a Microprocessor.

03. Operating Principle

The infrared temperature sensor collects infrared energy emitted by the skin surface. After being focused by a lens, the energy is converted into a temperature reading by the thermopiles and measurement circuits.

04. Indications for use
The Non-contact Infrared Thermometer is intended for the measurement of human body temperatures. The forehead mode is indicated for people of all ages.

6. How to Use Your Thermometer

When using the thermometer for the first time, please insert the batteries.

• If the eyebrow area is covered with hair, sweat or dirt, please clean the area beforehand to improve the reading accuracy.
• Always check if the lens is clean.
• Always make sure the user and the thermometer will have been in the same room prior to the measurement.

02. Take Room/Object Temperature

03. After a Measurement

Once the reading has been completed, remove the thermometer away from the forehead and observe temperature.
After each measurement, you can enter the recall mode and query earlier temperature readings.

• Do not hold the thermometer for a long time, because it is sensitive to the ambient temperature.
• After each measurement, clean the temperature probe with a soft cloth, and put the thermometer in a dry and well-ventilated place.
• You should wait at least 10 seconds between each measurement.
• It is dangerous to make a self-diagnosis or self-treatment based on the obtained measurement results. For such purposes, please consult a doctor.

04. Read Your Temperature

“T” indicates a temperature reading.

In forehead mode:

1. If 89.6° F :<; T :<; 99.2° F (32°C :<; T :<; 37.3°(), the green light will last for 12 seconds, with one long beep.
2. If 99.3° F :<; T :<; 100.3° F (37.4°C:,; T:,; 37.9°(), the orange light will last for 12 seconds, with 3 short beeps, and the value in LCD screen flickers, which is a warning that you may have a light fever.
3. If 100.4° F:,; T:,; 109.2° F (38°C:,; T:,; 42.9°C), the red light will last for 12 seconds, with 5 short beeps, and the value in LCD screen flickers, which is a warning that you may have a high fever.

7. Temperature Taking Tips

1. It is important to know each individual’s normal temperature when they are well. This is the only way to accurately diagnose a fever. Record readings twice a day (early morning and late afternoon). Take the average of the two temperatures to calculate normal oral equivalent temperature. Always take the temperature in the same location, since the temperature readings may vary from different locations on the forehead.
2. A child’s normal temperature can be as high as 99.9° F (37.7°() or as low as 97.0° F(36.11 °(). Please note that this unit reads 0.9° F(0.5°C) lower than a rectal digital thermometer.
3. Holding the thermometer for too long in the hand before taking a measurement can cause the device to warm up. This means the measurement could be incorrect.
4. Patients and the thermometer should stay in steady-state room condition.
5. Before placing the thermometer sensor onto the forehead, remove dirt, hair, or sweat from the forehead area. Wait 10 minutes after cleaning before taking measurement.
6. Use an alcohol swab to carefully clean the sensor and wait for 5 minutes before taking a measurement on another patient. Wiping the forehead with a warm or cool cloth may impact your reading. It is advised to wait 10 minutes before taking a reading.
7. In the following situations, it is recommended that 3-5 temperatures in the same location be taken and the highest one taken as the reading:
   – Newborn infants in the first 100 days.
   – Children under three years of age with a compromised immune system and for whom the presence or absence of fever is critical.
   – When the user is learning how to use the thermometer for the first time until he/she has familiarized himself/herself with the instrument and obtains consistent readings.

8. Care and Cleaning

1. Cleaning and user maintenance must not be performed by children unless supervised.
2. Cleaning the device use an alcohol swab or cotton swab moistened with 95% alcohol to clean the thermometer casing and the measuring probe.
3. After the alcohol has completely dried out, you can take a new measurement (minimum of 10 minutes).
4. Ensure that no liquid enters the interior of the thermometer.
5. Never use abrasive cleaning agents, thinners or benzene for cleaning and never immerse the instrument in water or other cleaning liquids.

6. Take care not to scratch the surface of the LCD screen.
7. Remove the batteries from the device before cleaning.
8. Clean the device after use with a soft, slightly damp doth. If they are very dirty, you can also moisten the cloth with a mild soapy solution.
