PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Overview
Infrared Thermometer measures the body temperature based on the
infrared energy emitted from the forehead. Users can quickly get
measurement results after properly scanning the forehead.
Normal body temperature is a range. The following tables show that
this normal range also varies by site. Therefore, readings from different
site should not be directly compared. Tell your doctor what type of
thermometer you used to take your temperature and on what part of the
body. Also bear this in mind if you are diagnosing yourself.

WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS
Structure
The thermometer consists of a shell, an LCD, a measure button, a beeper,
an infrared temperature sensor, and a Microprocessor.
Operating principle
The infrared temperature sensor collects infrared energy emitted by the
skin surface. After being focused by a lens, the energy is converted into
a temperature reading by the thermopiles and measurement circuits.
Indications for use
The Touchless Thermometer is intended for the measurement of human
body temperatures. The forehead mode is indicated for people of all ages.

HOW TO USE YOUR THERMOMETER
When using the thermometer for the first time, please load the batteries.
Take your forehead temperature
Press the Measure button to power on. Only aim at forehead at a distance
of 0-3cm, no need to make skin contact. Press the Measure button again,
the thermometer will beep once it has completed the measurement and it
will display the temperature on the display screen.
NOTE: The forehead measurement is an indicative reading. The measured
forehead temperature can fluctuate up to 1 °F/0.5 °C from your actual
body temperature. Please be aware of the factors that influence the
accuracy as described in the section ‘Temperature taking tips’ and
‘WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS’*1.

If the eyebrow area is covered with hair, sweat or dirt, please clean
the area beforehand to improve the reading accuracy.
Always check if the lens is clean.
Always make sure the user and the thermometer will have been in
the same room prior to the measurement.
Take room/object temperature
Make sure the thermometer is powered off. Press
the Mem button for 3 seconds. The thermometer will
turn on and switch to room/object temperature mode.
Press the measure button to measure room/object.
Keep the thermometer about 1-3cm away from the
object. Press the Measure button, the thermometer
will beep once it has completed the measurement and
it will display the temperature on the display screen.
After a measurement
Once the reading has been completed, remove the thermometer
away from the forehead and observe temperature.
After each measurement, you can enter the recall mode and query
earlier temperature readings.
Do not hold the thermometer for a long time, because it is sensitive
to the ambient temperature.
After each measurement, clean the temperature probe with a soft
cloth, and put the thermometer in a dry and well-ventilated place.
You should wait at least 10 seconds between each measurement.
It is dangerous to make a self-diagnosis or self-treatment based on
the obtained measurement results. For such purposes, please consult
a doctor.

2. All settings will come to default when uninstalling the battery.
If settings need to be adjusted, make sure to power on the device
and apply the new settings.
REPLACING THE BATTERY
Slide the battery cover off along the marked direction. Put two AAA
batteries correctly into the compartment.
Remove the batteries if the thermometer will not be used for more
than two months.
TEMPERATURE TAKING TIPS
1. It is important to know each individual’s normal temperature when
they are well. This is the only way to accurately diagnose a fever.
Record readings twice a day (early morning and late afternoon).
Take the average of the two temperatures to calculate normal oral
equivalent temperature. Always take the temperature in the same
location, since the temperature readings may vary from different
locations on the forehead.
2. A child’s normal temperature can be as high as 99.9°F (37.7°C) or as
low as 97.0°F (36.11°C). Please note that this unit reads 0.9°F (0.5°C)
lower than a rectal digital thermometer.
3. Holding the thermometer for too long in the hand before taking
a measurement can cause the device to warm up. This means the
measurement could be incorrect.
4. Patients and the thermometer should stay in steady-state room
condition.
5. Before placing the thermometer sensor on the forehead, remove dirt,
hair, or sweat from the forehead area. Wait 10 minutes after cleaning
before taking measurement.
6. Use an alcohol swab to carefully clean the sensor and wait for 5
minutes before taking a measurement on another patient. Wiping
the forehead with a warm or cool cloth may impact your reading. It is
advised to wait 10 minutes before taking a reading.
12
13
7. In the following situations it is recommended that 3-5 temperatures in
the same location be taken and the highest one taken as the reading:
• Newborn infants in the first 100 days.
• Children under three years of age with a compromised immune
system and for whom the presence or absence of fever is critical.
• When the user is learning how to use the thermometer for the
first time until he/she has familiarized himself/herself with the
instrument and obtains consistent readings.
CARE AND CLEANING
Use an alcohol swab or cotton swab moistened
with 95% alcohol to clean the thermometer
casing and the measuring probe. After the alcohol
has completely dried out, you can take a new
measurement.
Ensure that no liquid enters the interior of
the thermometer. Never use abrasive cleaning
agents, thinners or benzene for cleaning and
never immerse the instrument in water or other
cleaning liquids. Take care not to scratch the
surface of the LCD screen.
