Instruction Manual
XLE-MD-TM-IR-R1

1. General Description
Non-Contact Forehead IR Thermometer is specifically designed to take
human body temperature, regardless of room temperature.
2. Safety Information
This device must only be used for the purposes described in this
instruction manual.
This device must only be used in an ambient temperature range
between 10°C to 40°C (50°F to 104°F).
Do not expose this thermometer to electric shocks. Do not expose this
thermometer to extreme temperature conditions of > 50°C
(122°F) or < 0°C (32°F).
Do not use the device in relative humidity higher than 80%.
Do not use the device near large electromagnetic fields such as found
with cordless or cell phones.
Keep the device away from water and heat, including direct sunlight.
Do not drop or strike the device, and do not use if damaged.
Accuracy of measurements may be affected when the forehead is
covered by hair, perspiration, or clothing. (See Part 10-4)
Maintain a measuring distance of 3cm to 5cm (1.18in to 1.96in). (See
Part 10-4)
Allow device to acclimate to ambient temperature for 15 to 20 minutes
before using.
Temperature may also be taken behind the ear lobe. (See Part 10-5)
Clean the device surface with a cotton pad lightly moistened with 70%
Isopropyl alcohol.

3. General Information
1. Before and after use, keep the inner part of the sensor and
probe clean.
2. Please use the thermometer in a stable temperature
environment. When the ambient temperature fluctuates greatly (such
as the temperature difference from indoor to outdoor), please wait for
10 seconds before measuring.
3. Do not start measuring body temperature immediately after
measuring objects with extremely high or low temperature. Please
leave it for 10 minutes before measuring the body temperature.
4. When the measured people or object comes from a place
with a large temperature difference from the measurement
environment, they should stay in the measurement environment for at
least 5 minutes.
5. Try not to measure when there is makeup, perspiration,
water, hair or etc. on the forehead. Don’t measure body temperature
in 30 minutes after exercise, bathing, or eating.
6. Press and hold the SET button in power off state, and
enter the setting mode after the 'beep' sound. Press the SET button to
select F4, and use the MEMO button switches between ℃ mode and
℉ mode. After setting, press the POW button to power off.

4. Intended Use
Non-Contact Forehead IR Thermometer is designed for body surface
and forehead temperature measurement for infants and adults without
contact to human body.
Non-Contact Forehead IR Thermometer can also be used to measure
the temperature of a baby bottle, bath, or room temperature (by using
the Object Temp function).

8. Use
8-1. Install battery.
8-2. Prior to the first use or when inserting new batteries wait at least
10 minutes for device to warm up.
8-3. lf use is suspended for a long period, once turned on the device
will test the room temperature and delay start for 1 to 2 seconds.
8-4. Aim device at the forehead (see the diagram below for the
positioning), from a distance of 3 to 5 cm (1.18 to 1.96in),
press the measuring key; the temperature is displayed after
one second with a "tick" sound. Ensure there is no hair,
perspiration, cosmetics or clothing covering the forehead.
8-5. When the room temperature is
is perspiration on the forehead,
significantly different, or there
temperature may also be
taken behind the ear lobe. Ensure there is no hair, perspiration,

9-1. Switching between body temperature mode and object
temperature mode
When in measurement mode, press the "SET" key to switch between
the object temperature measurement mode (the display shows a small
house icon) and the human body temperature measurement mode (the

10. Maintenance and Cleaning
Please keep the inner cavity of the sensor and probe clean,
otherwise it will affect the measurement accuracy.
1. Surface cleaning: Wipe surface dirty with a clean soft
cloth or cotton swab with a little medical alcohol or water.
2. Sensor and inner cavity cleaning: use a clean soft cloth
or cotton swab to stick a little medical alcohol gently wipe the inner
cavity of the probe or the top of the sensor ,use until the alcohol is
completely evaporated.
Please read the instructions carefully before use.
● Do not immerse the thermometer in any liquid, and do
not leave it in extreme high or low temperature environments for a
long time.

11. Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: The device is on (the screen is measured), but the temperature
cannot be measured
A1: Confirm whether the product enters the measurement data
viewing mode or parameter setting mode. If you under this mode,
please press the power button (POW key) to shut down (or wait 1
minute to automatically shut down), and then press the temperature
measurement key after rebooting.
Q2:The measurement temperature is obviously too low
A2: Confirm whether the device is under the object temperature
measurement mode. If so , press the SET key once to enter the
human body temperature measurement mode. Enter the parameter
setting mode and check whether the temperature compensation
setting is negative. It is recommended to set the value to 0.
Q3: The measurement temperature is obviously too high
A3: Enter the parameter setting mode and check whether the
temperature compensation setting is positive. It is recommended to
set the value to 0.
