Welcome to your new state of the art ARC InstaTemp™
digital infrared non touch thermometer! e ARC
InstaTemp™ is a digital non-touch thermometer that
measures and displays human body temperature. is
device is intended for use by responsible adults at
home.
To ensure the best results with your ARC InstaTemp™
thermometer, please be sure to read the following
operational and procedural manual carefully. If you
give this device to another adult, it is vital that you also
pass on this user manual.
e ARC InstaTemp™ is a sophisticated technologically
advanced electronic medical device that has been
carefully engineered to quickly and accurately measure
human body temperature without requiring any contact
with the human body. Do not use this device for any
other purpose. Only use ARC InstaTemp™ in ambient
temperatures ranging from 50-104°F (10-40°C). e
thermometer and person must remain in a place
with no change in room temperature and away from
ventilation sources and heat sources for at least 20
minutes before measuring temperature.

GETTING TO KNOW
e ARC InstaTemp™

ARC InstaTemp™ is set to Fahrenheit by default.
To change to Celsius, follow these simple steps:
Press and release the activation button to get a reading.
Once the reading appears on screen in Fahrenheit,
press and release the activation button again —the
reading will automatically change to Celsius. Repeat to
change back.
OPERATION:
CHANGING ºF TO ºC

Remove protective label prior to
operation
Move hair away from the path of
the sensor.
Wipe perspiration from the
forehead, if apparent
Ensure that the person has been
in the room for 20 minutes.
Do not measure the person’s
temperature immediately aer
he/she has been exposed to really
cold or hot climates, or has drunk
a hot or cold liquid as it may
temporarily change the surface
temperature of the skin. In these
instances, wait 20 minutes before
taking a temperature reading
Do not touch the lens of the
sensor. It is the most delicate
part of the ARC InstaTemp™

Point the thermometer at the person as
shown below. Ensure the device is 0.5-1.25
ins (1-3 cm) from the forehead, above the
eyebrows and between the eyes.
ARC InstaTemp™ must be held steady, perpendicular
to and pointing directly at the center of the forehead
at the area above the eyebrows and between the eyes
when taking a temperature.
Hold the ARC InstaTemp™ in position, and press and
release the activation button once, simply point and
click. Hold the thermometer in position until the
display is illuminated and a temperature reading is
displayed on the screen.

GETTING TO KNOW
Wall Mount (If accessory is included)
e wall mount can be attached to any smooth
vertical surface using its adhesive pad on the
rear of the wall mount. Because it is magnetic,
the wall mount can also be attached to any metal
surface. e internal magnet also keeps the ARC
InstaTemp™ gently attached to the wall mount.

is indicates an invalid reading. is is due
to incorrect usage, such as trying to measure a
temperature above or below the thermometer’s
operating range or also due to a indeterminate
reading. Repeat the temperature measurement
as described in the section titled ‘TAKING A
TEMPERATURE’.
