Introduction

This Rossmax non-contact temple thermometer is intended for measuring human body temperature; while is not intended as a substitute for consultation with your physician. This thermometer has been clinically tested in the hospital based on the regulatory standard protocol and proven to be safe and accurate when used in accordance to the operating instruction manual.

• The quality of the infrared temple thermometer has been verified and conforms to the provisions of the EC council directive 93/42/EEC (Medical Device Directive) Annex I essential requirements and applied harmonized standards. Comply with ASTM E1965-98(2016).
• This thermometer converts the temple temperature to display its “oral equivalent.”(according to the result of the clinical evaluation)

Please read the instruction manual carefully before using the product and be sure to keep this manual.

Function

Temple Temperature| The thermometer has been designed for practical use. It’s not meant to replace a visit to the doctor. Please also remember to compare the measurement result to your regular body temperature.
---|---
Object Mode| The object mode shows the actual, unadjusted surface temperatures, which is different from the body temperature. It can help you to measure any object other than body surface, for example the baby’s milk.
Fever Alarm| If thermometer detects a body temperature => 37.5°C(99.5°F) there will be four beeps sound with flashing reading to warn the user for potential fever.

How to measure temple temperature

1. Always make sure the probe is clean, and without damage.
2. Press “ON/OFF/Memory” button to power on the device.
3. 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.
4. Press the “Start” button to take temperature. Measurement is complete when you hear a long beep sound.
5. Read the recorded temperature from the LCD display.
6. Clean the probe after each use to ensure an accurate reading and avoid cross contamination. ( See the section of Care and Cleaning for details.)
7. Remember to put in the storage case when not in use.

Switching between Fahrenheit and Celsius

1. 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.)
2. Hold onto the “Start“ button, then press and hold the “On/Off/Memory” button until °C appears on the LCD.
3. 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.

1. Make sure the device is turned off.
2. Hold down the “Start” button for about 8 seconds, and then the measuring site icon on the display will be switched accordingly.
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:

1. Applications include temperature measurements for Water, Milk, Cloth, Skin or other object.
2. This mode shows the actual, unadjusted object temperatures, which is different from the body temperature.

Memory function
There are total 9 set memories for measurement records. If the reading of the thermometers is within the normal temperature range of 34 °C to 42.2 °C (93.2 °F to 108°F ), when the measurement is done, the measurement data is saved into memory.

• Press “ Memory” button to repeatedly to recall each temperature memory.

Care and cleaning

1. The probe is the most delicate part of the thermometer. Use with care when cleaning the lens to avoid damage.
2. 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.
3. Allow the probe to fully dry for at least 5 minutes.
4. Storage temperature range: It should be stored at room temperature between -25~+55°C, (-13°F~131°F) RH<=95%
5. Keep the unit dry and away from any liquids and direct sunlight.
6. The probe should not be submerged into liquids.
7. 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.
8. 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.

Battery Replacement

1. Open the battery cover: use thumb to push battery cover out.
2. Hold the device and flip the battery out.
3. Insert the new battery down with the correct electrical polarity.
4. Place back the battery cover.
5. Keep the battery away from children.
