The LinkTemp Non-contact Infrared Thermometer is pre-set
at the factory.
It is not necessary to calibrate the device when starting it up.
However, in order to obtain reliable results, you are advised to allow
the thermometer to acclimate to room/ambient temperature for 15
to 20 minutes before using each time there is a signicant change in
environmental temperature. It is also important to allow a 3 to 5
second intervals between measurements.

Temperature reading is hampered
by hair or perspiration.
Temperature hampered by an air
draft or dramatic change in ambient
temperature.
Temperature readings are too close
together and the thermometer did
not have time to reboot.
Measuring too far from the forehead.
The ambient temp < 30˚F (0˚C).
Measuring after cold compress,
taking medicine or bathing.
Make sure there is no obstruction
or dampness prior to taking
temperature.
Make sure there is no air blowing in
the area of use, this could aect the
infrared reading.
Pause for 3-5 seconds minimum
between two readings; a 5 second
pause is recommended.
Take measurements at the
recommended distance of 1.2” to 2”
(3 to 5 cm) from forehead.
Make sure measuring environment
temperature is higher than 32˚F (0˚C).
If any of these apply, make sure to
wait 30 minutes and test again.
Reasons for Lo message display Advice
Reasons for Hi message display
When body temperature is above
109.2˚F (42.9˚C).
F2 value is set higher than desired.
The room/ambient temperature is
above 104˚F (40˚C).
The surface temperature exceeds
140˚F (60˚C).
Advice
Temperature reading exceeds
measurement range of 89.6˚F to
109.2˚F (32˚C to 42.9˚C). Make sure
there is no hot air blowing in the area
of use. If necessary, immediately seek
medical attention.
Reset high alarm temperature setting
closer to or at default value of
100.4˚F (38˚C).
Make sure to operate thermometer
between 50˚F to 104˚F (10˚C to 40˚C).
Temperature reading exceeds
measurement range of 32˚F to 140F
(0˚C to 60˚C).
