CAUTIONS AND WARNINGS
• As with any thermometer, proper technique is crucial to getting accurate
temperature readings. Please read this manual thoroughly and carefully
before use.
• Always operate the thermometer in temperatures between 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: temperatures between
-20°C to 60°C (-4°F to 140°F); relative humidity less than 95%. Avoid direct
sunlight.
• Avoid dropping the thermometer.
• Use only FORA IR20 probe covers for the infrared ear thermometer.
• For proper hygiene, do not share or reuse probe covers. Damaged probe
covers may result in error display.
• 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 be a substitution for a consultation with
your physician.
• Keep probe covers out of reach of children.
• Temperature measurements may differ from left to right ear. Always measure
by using the same ear.
RESTRICTIONS OF USE
This thermometer is clinically proven to produce accurate temperature
measurements. However, please be advised if you have the following
situations:
• The accuracy cannot be ensured for a person who has a deformity in their
ear, which prevents the thermometer probe from properly being inserted into
the ear canal.
• The accuracy cannot be ensured when blood or drainage is found in the ear
canal.
• If ear drops or medications have been placed in one ear, take measurements
from the other ear.
• For a person who wears an ear plug or hearing aid, remove the device and
wait for 15 minutes before taking temperature.
NOTE: Never try to clean inside your ears. You may accidentally damage the
eardrum or its surrounding tissues. Remove excess earwax only when you can
reach it with a clean cloth. Consult a physician if you suspect the presence of
excess earwax.

INTRODUCTION
Thank you for choosing FORA IR20 ear thermometer. This innovative medical
device relies on advanced infrared (IR) technology to measure temperature
instantly.
INTENDED USE
FORA IR20 ear thermometer is intended for the intermittent measurement and
monitoring of human body temperature from ear canal. The device is intended
for use by people of all ages for home and professional use.
HOW DOES IT WORK
The thermometer measures the infrared heat generated by the eardrum and its
surrounding tissue. The thermometer then converts it into a temperature value
shown on the LCD screen.

ABOUT NORMAL BODY TEMPERATURE &
FEVER
Body temperature can vary from person to person. It also varies on different
part of the body and time of day. The following table shows the statistics of
normal ranges from different body parts. Please keep in mind that tempera-
tures measured from different parts, 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 if you are concerned about your body temperature
readings.

HINTS ON TAKING TEMPERATURES
1. As with other thermometers, you may observe slight variations in consecu-
tive measurements. It is recommended that you take 3 temperature
readings and use the highest one for the following situations:
• Infants younger than 3 months old.
• Children younger than 3 years old and who have a compromised immune
system and the presence / absence of fever is critical.
• When you are learning to use the thermometer.
2. Do not take a reading while the patient is moving and/or talking. Wait for 30
minutes after any of the following situations before taking a measurement:
• When the ear has been covered.
• After exercising, swimming, or taking a bath.
• When the patient has been exposed to extreme temperature.
3. To take accurate readings, the ear must be free from excessive earwax
build-up.
RECALLING THE MEMORY
12
Your thermometer stores last 10 readings in the memory.
1. Be sure the thermometer is OFF before recalling the memory.
2. Press the On/Memory button to turn on the thermometer.
3. Press the On/Memory button for 3 seconds to enter memory mode. Each
time you press the On/Memory button, a result will be displayed in the
order of dates (latest result shown first), together with “ ” and number
(from 1 to 10). When the memory is full, the oldest result is deleted as the
new one is added. When the last record is displayed in the LCD, press
On/Memory button again to return to the first one.

You can transmit your data from the meter to your devices (e.g. smart phone,
tablet, PC…) via Bluetooth. Please contact your local customer service or
place of purchase for assistance. Please note that you must complete the
pairing between the meter and Bluetooth receiver before transmitting data.
Pairing with your mobile device
1. On your mobile device, turn on the Bluetooth function and follow the
pairing instructions inside of the APP (e.g., scan for the meter to add it into
APP).
2. After each measurement, the Bluetooth will be turned on automatically to
transmit data to APP.
Bluetooth indicator on the meter
WARNING:
• While the meter is in transmission mode, it will be unable to perform a test.
• Make sure your device with iOS (6 or above) or Android System (4.3 or
above) has turned on Bluetooth before transmitting the data and the meter is
within the receiving range.
REPLACING THE BATTERY
The thermometer comes with two 1.5V AAA alkaline batteries. Replace them
when “ ” appears. Please follow the steps for battery replacement.
1. Remove the battery cover.
2. Place the new batteries in the battery compartment and press it in until the
batteries are secured.
3. Reattach the battery cover.
NOTE:
• Although the thermometer works when “ ” appears, we still recommend that
you change the batteries to obtain an accurate result.
• Remove the batteries if stored for a long period of time.
• The batteries should be kept out of children. If they are swallowed, promptly
see a doctor for help.
• Properly dispose of the batteries.

Recommended separation distance between
portable and mobile RF communications equipment and the device
The device is intended for use in an electromagnetic environment in which radiated RF disturbances are controlled. The customer or the user of the device
can help prevent electromagnetic interference by maintaining a minimum distance between portable and mobile RF communications equipment
(transmitters) and the device as recommended below, according to the maximum output power of the communications equipment.
For transmitters rated at a maximum output power not listed above, the recommended separation distance d in meters (m) can be estimated using the
equation applicable to the frequency of the transmitter, where p is the maximum output power rating of the transmitter in watts (W) according to the
transmitter manufacturer.
NOTE1 At 80 MHz and 800 MHz, the separation distance for the higher frequency range applies.
NOTE2 These guidelines may not apply in all situations. Electromagnetic propagation is affected by absorption and reflection from structures, objects and
people.

a Field strengths from fixed transmitters, such as base stations for radio (cellular / cordless) telephones and land mobile radios, amateur radio, AM and FM
radio broadcast and TV broadcast cannot be predicted theoretically with accuracy. To assess the electromagnetic environment due to fixed RF
transmitters, an electromagnetic site survey should be considered. If the measured field strength in the location in which the device is used exceeds the
applicable RF compliance level above, the device should be observed to verify normal operation. If abnormal performance is observed, additional
measures may be necessary, such as re-orienting or relocating the device.
b Over the frequency range 150 kHz to 80 MHz, field strengths should be less than 3 V/m.
• The probe is not waterproof. Please wipe it with a clean and dry cotton swab.
