BEFORE YOU BEGIN
Cautions and Warnings
●As with any thermometer, proper technique is crucial
to obtaining accurate temperature readings. Please
read this manual thoroughly and carefully before using.
●Always operate the thermometer in an operating
temperature range 16°C to 40°C (60.8°F to 104°F),
and relative humidity less than 95%.
●Always store the thermometer in a cool and dry place
-20°C to 50°C (-4°F to 122°F) and relative humidity
less than 95%.
●Avoid direct sunlight.
●Avoid dropping the thermometer, if it happens and
you think the thermometer may be damaged, please
contact customer services immediately.
●Do not disassemble the thermometer.
●Basic safety precautions should always be observed,
especially when the thermometer is used on or near
children and disabled persons.
●This thermometer is not intended to substitute for a
consultation with your physician.
●This thermometer and the subject must remain in a
stable environment for at least 30 minutes before
measuring the temperature.
●When the measured temperature falls within the fever
temperature range of ≥37.5°C (99.5°F) and <43°C
(109.4°F), as indicated by the red backlight on display,
please consult with your physician immediately.

Intended Use
FORA Diamond NEXUS MINI Thermometer is intended for the
intermittent measurement and monitoring of human body
temperature from forehead measurement at home.
A control measurement using a conventional thermometer is
recommended in the following cases:
1. If the reading is surprisingly low, 2. For new-born infants up
to 100 days old, 3. For children under three years of age who
have a weakened immune system or who react unusually in
the presence or absence of fever.
Restrictions of Use
This thermometer is clinically proven to produce accurate
temperature measurements. However, please be advised
that the accuracy cannot be ensured when the thermometer
is not clean. Check that the detecting sensor is clean before
taking a measurement.
How does it work
The thermometer measures the infrared heat generated
by the surface of the skin over the vessel and its
surrounding tissue. The thermometer then converts it into
a temperature value.
NOTE:
The thermometer does not emit any infrared signal.

About Normal Body Temperature & Fever
The temperature in the forehead and temple area differs
from the internal temperature, which is taken orally or
rectally. Vasoconstriction, an effect which constricts the
blood vessels and cools the skin, can occur during the
early stages of a fever. In this case, the temperature
measured by the FORA Diamond NEXUS MINI
thermometer may be unusually low. If the measurement
therefore does not match the patientʼs own perception
or is unusually low, repeat the measurement every 15
minutes. As a reference, you can also measure the
internal body temperature using a conventional oral or
rectal thermometer.
Body temperature can vary from one individual/person
to next. It also varies by location on the body and time
of day. Below shows the statistical normal ranges from
different sites. Please keep in mind that temperatures
measured from different sites, even at the same time,
should not be directly compared. Fever indicates that
the body temperature is higher than normal. This
symptom may be caused by infection, overdressing
or immunization. Some people may not experience
fever even when they are ill. These include, but are not
limited to, infants younger than 3 months old, persons
with compromised immune systems, persons taking
antibiotics, steroids or antipyretics (aspirin, ibuprofen,
acetaminophen), or persons with certain chronic
illnesses. Please consult your physician when you feel ill
even if you do not have fever.

the device is standby for
measurement.
The temperature unit flashes.
5. Read the result.
The measurement result will be done
once releasing the button. The reading
is shown together with green backlight
and three short beeps.
4. Move the detecting sensor
close to the forehead.
Make sure the detecting sensor is
flat and close to the forehead, not
at an angle. Perform a forehead
measurement with a distance

Using the Device
As a Body Measurement Thermometer
PERFORM THE TEST
1. Press On/Scan button for less
than 2 seconds to turn on the
thermometer first and enter into
body mode. The full display will be
showed on the meter for 2 seconds.
2. The last memory displays for 2
seconds.

NOTE:
•As the forehead measurement temperature is likely
to be affected by sweat, oil and the surroundings, the
reading shall be taken as a reference only.
•If the detecting sensor is placed at an angle close
to the forehead measurement, the reading will be
affected by surrounding temperature. Babiesʼskin
reacts very quickly to the ambient temperature.
Therefore, do not take their temperature with
the FORA Diamond NEXUS MINI thermometer
during or after breastfeeding because the skin
temperature may then be lower than the internal body
temperature.
•If the reading is < 32°C (89.6°F), the display will
show “L”together with red backlight and three short
beeps.
•If the reading is ≥32°C (89.6°F) and < 37.5 °C
(99.5°F), the display will show together with green
backlight and three short beeps.
•If the reading is ≥37.5 °C (99.5°F) and < 43°C
(109.4°F), the display will show together with red
backlight and ten short beeps.
•If the reading is ≥43°C (109.4°F), the display will
show “H”together with red backlight and ten short
beeps.
•The interval for the next measurement should be 3
seconds.
•Device is standby for another measurement with last
readings stays on the display, °C or °F is blinking.
The device cannot do another measurement during
previous measurement shows on the display with
backlight that lasts for 5 sec.
•The thermometer will automatically turn off if left idle
for 25 seconds and the backlight switch off in first 5
seconds.
