NON-CONTACT INFRARED THERMOMETER

1. GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF THE PRODUCT

The infrared non-contact thermometer is intended for measurement body

temperature in children and adults and the environment in a non-contact

manner, which allows you to obtain a measurement result much faster. The

thermometer is used to measure body temperature when there is a suspicion of

the disease and during it, during the convalescence after surgery or exhaustion.

The thermometer is intended for home use or by medical personnel.

Product advantages:

lEasy to clean sensor

lFever alarm (only during body temperature measurement), when

measurement temperature is 37.8 °C or higher, a sound signal will

automatically appear, which indicates the occurrence of fever

lEnables quick and accurate temperature reading

lIlluminated display

lConvenient to use

lMemory of the last 12 measurements

lAfter switching on, the device automatically displays the last measured

temperature value

2. CONSTRUCTION OF THE DEVICE

3. SYMBOLS AT THE LCD

NOTE: In the case of difference between the storage and usage temperature the

device should be left for 2-4 hours in a room, in which the measurement will be

carried out. Perform the measurement, when the device is at ambient

temperature.

4. TAKING MEASUREMENT

Select the body measurement mode  or the ambient measuring mode  .

1) Non-contact temperature measurement on the forehead (Fig.5.1B)

NOTE: First, select the measurement mode manually using the ON/OFF button.

Before measuring, clean and dry the skin on the forehead and

move hair away from the measurement point.

lTurn on the device by pressing the "POWER" button, all symbols will be

displayed on the screen for a moment (Fig. 5.2B).

lThen the last measurement result will be displayed on the LCD temperature,

as shown in (Fig. 5.3B). After a few seconds the device will switch to the

forehead temperature measurement mode. On the display the symbol will 

appear and the temperature unit °C or °F will start flashing, it means that the

device is ready for taking measurement (Fig. 5.4B).

lDirect the thermometer to the forehead at a distance of 5-10 cm, press and

release "SCAN” button for 1 sec. The measurement is completed when a beep

sound appears. Read the result on the screen (Fig. 5.5B).

lWhen the temperature symbol flashes, wait 5 seconds to taken the °C or °F

next measurement. After 5 consecutive measurements, it is recommended to

make one minute break before the next measurement.

lIf there is no command for 60 seconds, the device will automatically switch off.

INSTRUCTION FOR USE

2) Ambient temperature measurement mode (Fig. 5.1C)

lFirst, select the ambient mode manually using the slide key button. Turn on

the device by pressing the "POWER" button and then on the screen all

symbols will be displayed for a moment (Fig. 5.2C). The display will show the

last temperature measurement result (Fig. 5.3C). After a few seconds, the

device switches to the ambient temperature measurement mode, the symbol

 will appear on the display and a temperature unit °C or °F will start

flashing. It means, that the device is ready for taking masurement (Fig. 5.4C).

lPoint the thermometer towards the object at a distance of 5-10 cm, then press

and release the "SCAN" button for about 1 sec. When a long beep sound

appears, the device will take measurement and the result will appear on the

screen (Fig. 5.5C).

lWhen the temperature symbol °C or °F flashes, wait 5 seconds to taken the

next measurement. After 5 consecutive measurements, it is recommended to

make one minute break before the next measurement.

lIf the device is not used again, it will switch off automatically after 60 seconds.

3) Setting the sound signal

lWith the device turned off, press the "SCAN" button while holding it down for

about 5 seconds until the "ON or OFF" symbol appears on the screen. Press

the "SCAN" button again to switch ON or OFF the sound signal.

4) Setting the temperature unit °C or °F

lWith the device switched off, press the "SCAN" button while holding it down

for about 10 seconds until the "---" symbol and unit temperature °C or °F

appears on the screen. Press the SCAN button to set the desired temperature

unit, the device will be properly set and ready for use.

5) Viewing the memory results

The last 12 measurement results.

When the device is switched off, press the "SCAN" button so that the symbol "---

M" appears on the screen, which will allow you to view the measurement results

saved in the memory. Pressing again the "SCAN" button will display subsequent

measurement results. Press the "POWER" button to exit the result viewing mode

and switch off the device.

RANGE OF BODY TEMPERATURE

Body temperature means internal temperature of body. Normal temperature

means that of a healthy person and has little change within short range.

Temperature of a person measured in the evening is normally 0.5°C (16.9°F)

higher than in the early morning and is also affected by the environment, time

and activeness. The chart below shows the average of normal changes. Refer to

it to found out the personal normal temperature range.

°F) NOTE: For some adult

people the measurement

Temperature is 0.6 ~ 0.8 °C (1.0 ~ 1.5

°F) higher than the normal range.

We recommend to use the infrared

thermometer to determine the

normal temperature range.

The temperature results depend on the method of measurement.

lKeep the thermometer away from children and household animals.

lThe temperature measurement should be carried out under the

care of adult. You must not allow your child to remove the battery

cover, remove and eventually, swallow the battery.

8. FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS CONCERNING

MEASURING TEMPERATURE ON THE FOREHEAD

1) What is the temperature measured on the forehead?

The temperature on the forehead corresponds to the temperature under the

skin (within the arteries). It is the best way to measure body temperature

because measurement errors and time delay does not influence on the result, as

in the case of the oral or rectal method.

2) How to measure the temperature on the forehead correctly?

The thermometer should be directed towards the center of the forehead at a

distance of 5-10 cm. Nothing should cover the measurement area (hair, wig, hat,

bandages). Otherwise the results can be incorrect. Press the button

"SCAN" to get a result.

3) Why the temperature measurement on the forehead is more accurate

than the measurement in ear?

In the case of measurement on the forehead, the forehead area is scanned at an

angle the temperature released by the flow of arterial blood under the skin, and

we do not need to worry about the correct position during the measurement.

The measurement is delicate and non-invasive. The measurement in the ear is

less accurate because the position of the probe in the wire the auditory

influence has an effect on the accuracy of the measurement.

If the following circumstances occur, it is recommended to make at least three

measurements, and the highest result should be considered as the most

reliable:

lInfants under 3 months old.

lChildren under 3 years old with weakened immune system.

lIf you use an infrared thermometer for the first time. If you do not obtain

accurate and permanent readings, repeat the measurements several times

Waste product and batteries should be taken to the waste collection

point. The product contains ingredients that hazardous the

environment. Correct utilization of the device allows you to save

valuable resources, to avoid negative impact on health and on the

environment, that can be endangered by inappropriate waste

handling. If you have doubts, where to return the used product,

contact the manufacturer.
