of strong electromagnetic fields such as
mobile telephones or radio installations.
Keep a minimum distance of 3.3 meters
from such devices when using the
thermometer.
Please dispose the used thermometer and
batteries in accordance with local
regulation and requirement.
Caution
Do not use the thermometer in an ambient
temperature higher than 40.0°C (104.0°F)
or lower than 15.0°C (59.0°F). These are
beyond the operating temperature range
of the thermometer.

4.Note on Body Temperature
Normal body temperature is a range. It
varies from person to person and can
fluctuate throughout the day.
Body temperature also varies by sites.
Therefore, the iF100B Forehead
Thermometer should not be used to obtain
body temperature from other parts of the
body.
To determine if an individual is experiencing
an elevated body temperature or has a fever,
it is therefore critical to know, as a reference
point, the individual’s normal body
temperature range when he/she is well.
Normal body temperature fluctuates
throughout the day and is affected
by external factors. The body
temperature of an individual is the
lowest between 2:00 a.m. and 4:00
a.m. and the highest between 2:00
p.m. and 8:00 p.m. An individual's
body temperature typically changes
by less than 1°C (1.8 °F) each day.

8.Temperature Taking Tips for
Accurate Measurement
1. Always start with a clean thermometer to
maintain measurement accuracy and
hygiene. Pay extra attention to the sensor
lens as any obstruction, such as dust or
grease on the lens will prevent an accurate
measurement.
2. If the sensor lens is dirty, please clean
before use (Refer to Care and Cleaning
section). A clean sensor lens should be
reflective and gleaming. If it looks dull and
lackluster, then it is dirty and requires
cleaning.
3. Make sure both user and thermometer
have remained at a constant ambient
temperature for at least 30 minutes. Recent
exposure of the thermometer to hot or cold
temperatures will affect the reading.
4. Please use the thermometer indoor or in
an environment where there is no strong air
draft, such as from a fan, air conditioning or
heater.
5. Before measuring forehead temperature,
remove anything that may interfere with
infra-red detection such as hair, sweat, or
makeup/oil.
6. Do not move when taking temperature.
7. Do not hold the thermometer for a long
time as it is highly sensitive to ambient
temperature and heat.
Note: As with any thermometer, proper
technique is critical to obtain accurate
measurements. Failure to follow
instructions will result in inaccurate
readings.
