IMPORTANT INFORMATION
BEFORE USE
When using your thermometer, basic
precautions should always be followed. Please
read and follow all instructions and warnings
before using this product. Save these instructions
for future reference.
• Do not disassemble, repair, or remodel the

each use, refer to the care and maintenance
section.
• Avoid direct nger contact with the lens.
• No modication of this equipment is allowed.
• It is recommended that user may take 3
temperatures. If they are different, use the
highest reading.
• Do not expose the thermometer to extreme
temperature, very high humidity, or direct
sunlight.
• Avoid extreme shock or dropping the device.
• Before the measurement, patients and
thermometer should stay in steady state room
condition for at least 30 minutes.

6
• Avoid measuring temperature in 30 minutes
after exercise, bathing, or returning from
outdoor.
• To protect the environment, dispose of empty
batteries at appropriate collection sites accord-
ing to national or local regulations.
• It is ill-advised to disassemble the thermometer.
• Please use the thermometer solely for its
intended purpose.
• Carefully hold the device when in use to avoid
dropping the device.
• Allow one minute between successive measure-
ments as slight variations may occur if measure-
ments are taken over a short period of time. Use
average temperatures instead.
• There are no absolute body temperature stan-
dards. Keep reliable records of your personal
temperature to serve as a reference for judging
a fever.
• Under any circumstances, the temperature
taking result is ONLY for reference. Before
taking any medical action, please consult your
physician.

BATTERY INSTALLATION
Low Battery Warning:
When the battery power becomes low, the low battery
symbol “b” will appear on the display. The thermom-
eter can still be used during this time, but the batteries
should be replaced as soon as possible. If the batteries
run out completely, “Lo” will be displayed along with the
low battery symbol. In this case, the batteries will need
to be replaced before using the thermometer again.
Replacing the Battery:
1. Gently slide the battery cover back.
2. Carefully remove the old
batteries and properly
discard.
3. Insert new batteries (Two
1.5V alkaline AAA Size)
according to the proper
polarity.
4. Slide the battery cover
back on.
NOTE: Battery-operated
1.Please properly dispose of the batteries away from small
children and heat.
2.It is recommended to remove the batteries if the unit will
not be used for an extended period of time.
3.For long durations of non-operation, please remove all
batteries from the device.
4.Batteries must be disposed of in accordance with local
environmental and institutional policies.
5.Dispose of used batteries in accordance with the
applicable legal regulations. Never dispose of batteries in
the normal household waste.

SWITCHING BETWEEN
FAHRENHEIT OR CELSIUS
Your thermometer can display results in either
degrees Celsius (°C) or degrees Fahrenheit
(°F). To switch between Celsius and
Fahrenheit, while the unit is on press and
hold both the Human/Object button and the
Memory button for approximately 3 seconds.
This will change the mode to either °C or °F.
Once the thermometer beeps, at which time
the mode has been changed and you may
release the buttons.
SWITCHING BETWEEN
4 KINDS OF SCAN MODE
1.Under power on status, you can press the Human/
Object button to switch different scan mode. There
are 4 kinds of mode which including Human, Object,
Human/Night, and Object/Night mode (in order).
2.The beep sounds will be closed when your choice in
Human/Night mode, and Object/Night mode, and the
Moon symbol will appears on the LCD in both Night
mode.

TIPS FOR MEASURING
HUMAN TEMPERATURE
Bear in mind that the thermometer needs to have been
in the room in which the measurement is taken for at
least 30 minutes before use.
• Attempting to take temperature readings from sites
on the body other than the forehead may produce
inaccurate results.
• The patient should remain still while the reading is
being taken.
• Infrared forehead temperature readings are equivalent
to oral temperature readings. In all of these cases,
please consult your doctor.
• Readings taken while asleep should not be compared
directly to readings taken while awake, as body
temperature while asleep is typically lower.
• Do not take body temperature readings within 30
minutes of being outdoors, exercising or bathing

MEASURING HUMAN
TEMPERATURE
1.Press the Power button to turn the
thermometer on. The unit will run a self-test
and all symbols on the display will
momentarily appear.
2.Ensure that the thermometer is in Human
mode; the Human symbol will be on the
display. To alternate between modes press

measure button”, aiming the
Measurement Sensor
at the person's forehead,
holding the thermometer
approximately 0.5~3cm.
But don’t touch the
forehead.
4.Release the “Scan & measure button”.
In about a second, you will hear a short
beep means this temperature reading has
been completed and accompany with a
back-light.
5.If the temperature measurement is below
38°C (100.4°F), a “Smiling Face ” will
appear next to the reading. If the reading is
38°C (100.4°F) or above, a “Frowning Face
” will be displayed and the RED LED
light up.
Fever Alarm: Only in Human Mode
and Human/Night Mode

with each measurement stored in memory to indicate
whether a person or object temperature was taken.
3.Each press of the same button recalls a previous
measurement, so “ ” then all the way to “ ”.
Memory Deletion:
1.Under power on status, you may keep press MEM
Button for more than 3 seconds to delete all the
