WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS
• Keep out of reach of children under 12 years.
• Never immerse the thermometer into water or other liquids (not
waterproof). For cleaning and disinfecting please follow the
instructions in the “Care and cleaning” section.
• Never use the thermometer for purposes other than those it has been
intended for. Please follow the general safety precautions when using
on children.
• Keep the thermometer away from direct exposure to the sun and
keep it in a dust- free, dry area, well-ventilated place at a temperature
between 50°F (10°C) - 104°F (40°C). Do not use the thermometer in
high humidity environments. (>95% RH)
• Do not use the thermometer if there are signs of damage on the
measuring sensor or on the instrument itself. If damaged, do not
attempt to repair the instrument! Please contact dealer.
• This thermometer consists of high-quality precision parts. Do not drop
the instrument. Protect it from severe impact and shock. Do not twist
the instrument or the measuring sensor.
• Please consult your doctor if you see symptoms such as unexplained
irritability, vomiting, diarrhea, dehydration, changes in appetite or
activity, seizure, muscle pain, shivering, stiff neck, pain when urinating,
etc., even in the absence of fever.
• Even in the absence of fever, those who exhibit a normal temperature
may still need to receive medical attention. People who are on
antibiotics, analgesics, or antipyretics should not be assessed solely on
temperature readings to determine the severity of their illness.
• Temperature elevation may signal a serious illness, especially in adults
who are old, frail, have a weakened immune system, or neonates and
infants. Please seek professional advice immediately when there is a
temperature elevation and if you are taking temperature for whom are:
• Over 60 years of age (Fever may be blunted or even absent in elderly
patients)
• Having diabetes mellitus or a weakened immune system (e.g.,
HIV positive, cancer, chemotherapy, chronic steroid treatment,
splenectomy)
• Bedridden (e.g., nursing home patient, stroke, chronic illness)
• A transplant patient (e.g., liver, heart, lung, kidney)
• This thermometer is not intended for pre-term babies or small-for-
gestational age babies. This thermometer is not intended to interpret
hypothermic temperatures. Do not allow children to take their
temperatures unattended.
•
Use of this thermometer is not intended as a substitute for consultation
with your physician or pediatrician. It is for household use only.
• Clean the thermometer probe after each use.

• Do not use the thermometer on newborns for continuous temperature
monitoring purposes.
• Do not take a measurement while or immediately after nursing a baby.
• Patients should not drink, eat, or be physically active before/while
taking the measurement.
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.
Measurements
Forehead temperature 97.0°F to 99.5°F
(36.1°C to 37.5°C)
Ear temperature 96.4°F to 100.4°F
(35.8°C to 38.0°C)
Oral temperature 95.9°F to 99.5°F
(35.5°C to 37.5°C)
Rectal temperature
97.9°F to 100.4°F
(36.6°C to 38.0°C)

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.

READING YOUR TEMPERATURE
Tindicates a temperature reading in forehead mode.
1. If89.6°F≤T≤99.2°F(32°C≤T≤37.3°C),thegreenlightwilllastfor
12 seconds, with one long beep.
2. If99.3°F≤T≤100.3°F(37.4°C≤T≤37.9°C),theorangelightwill
last for 12 seconds, with 3 short beeps, and the value in LCD flickers,
which is a warning that you may have a light fever.
3. If100.4°F≤T≤109.2°F(38°C≤T≤42.9°C),theredlightwilllastfor
12 seconds, with 5 short beeps, and the value in LCD flickers, which is
a warning that you may have a high fever.
SWITCHING BETWEEN MUTE AND UN-MUTE
When the thermometer is turned on, keep short pressing the

memories one by one. If no value, it will display “---M”
°C/°F CONVERSION
When the thermometer is turned on, long press the Mute- unmute button
for 5 seconds, to change the temperature setting between °C/°F.
TEMPERATURE COMPENSATION ADJUSTMENT
When the thermometer is turn on, press both the Mute-unmute button
and Mem button for 2-3 seconds to go to the temperature compensation
mode. By pressing the Mem to adjust the temperature from ±0.0 to ±2.0.
