Intended Use
This Digital Infrared Thermometer is intended for non-contact temperature measurement based on the relaonship between
temperature and measureable infrared radiaon. It is suitable for forehead temperature measurement at home or in hospital
for infants, children and adults. It is also capable of surface temperature readings of objects, including liquids.
Simply aim the probe towards the surface to be measured to obtain a quick and accurate reading. To ensure proper use of this
thermometer, please read this Instrucon Manual carefully before use, paying close aenon to the Safety Precauons.
How Does It Work?
Any object above absolute zero temperature emits a certain percentage of infrared radiaon energy based on its temperature.
The amount of radiaon energy and the distribuon of the wavelength have a close relaonship. For example, when a person’s
forehead has a temperature of 36—37°C, it emits a wavelength of 9-013um of infrared radiaon. Based on this principle, the
thermometer is able to measure the actual temperature through measuring the surface temperature.
Safety Precauons
Warning:
 Use of this thermometer is not intended as a substute for consultaon with your physician. It is dangerous for the user
to perform a self-evaluaon and self-treatment based on the measuring result. Be sure to always follow your doctor’s
instrucons.
 Keep the thermometer out of reach of children. For accidental swallow of baery or other component, please consult
the doctor at once.
Noce:
 This device is a precision instrument. Please treat with care and do not drop or use heavy force on the thermometer. Do
not touch the lens of the probe. Do not aempt to disassemble, repair, or modify the device.
 Do not immerse the device in water or any other liquid or expose to any chemical solvents.
 Do not expose the device to direct sunlight for a long me as this may damage the baeries.
Cauon When Measuring:
 Before measuring forehead temperature, make sure hair is removed and any sweat dried. Aer exercising, eang, or
bathing please stay sll in room temperature for 30 minutes before measurement.
 If you are taking connuous measures please note there may be some slight error between readings. For the most accu-
rate result, we recommend you measure yourself once every 60 seconds 3 mes and take the average reading.
 There is no absolute standard on the temperature of a person, so please collect the average recorded temperature for
the person as a reference.
 Do not measure over areas of scarred ssue or ssue compromised by skin disorders as this may aect the accuracy of
the reading. Do not measure the forehead temperature if that area has trauma.
 Do not measure if the person has been treated with drugs that may aect the reading.
 Do not use a mobile phone near the device when measuring as this may aect the reading.
 When measuring surface temperatures of any liquid please avoid directly measuring the surface or placing the probe
over hot steam. This may condense or fog the sensor lens and aect the reading.
 For heat-insulated objects, do not measure the surface.
 For safety reasons, infants and children's temperature must be measured by a parent or adult.

Mul-funcon Mode and Temperature Range
This infrared thermometer has the following modes:
1. Body or forehead temperature mode—measure the temperature of the forehead accurately
2. Object or surface temperature mode—measure the surface temperature of an object such as ambient bathwater, milk,
water, and any other surface
Normal temperature range for dierent measuring posions
Normal forehead temperature range for dierent ages
NOTE: Average temperatures are individual. To dene your normal temperature, please measure your temperature for at least
2 weeks at the same posion (ear canal, forehead, etc.) and under similar circumstances (i.e., environment, air temperature).
Features
Precise non-contact measurement Automac selecon range and display resoluon 0.1°C (0.1°F)
Switchable between °C and °F Body mode 3 colour backlit display with Fever Alarm
Set alarm temperature value 2 measure modes: forehead (body) and surface mode
Automac memory storage (99 readings) Compable with reading liquid temperatures
Advice for First Use: Calibraon
The device will automacally calibrate. For the most stable and reliable results we recommend you follow these steps when
rst using the thermometer.
1. Take the temperature of the person with a convenonal thermometer. As an example, you will get 37.5°C (99.5°F).
2. Take the temperature again of the same person using the digital infrared thermometer and compare the measurement
to ensure accuracy. If you get 37.5°C (99.5°F) the device is properly set and ready for use.
If you get a dierent temperature: For example, 36.4°C (97.5°F), you should adjust the temperature of the device by
adding the dierence 1.1°C (2.2°F).
To adjust the temperature on the device, press the MODE buon for 2 seconds. The screen will display F1, press the
MODE buon again unl you get F3. Press the (-) DOWN buon or (+) UP buon to adjust for the dierence.

Baery Install and Operaon
1. Install 2 x AAA baeries. For rst use or if changing the baeries, please wait about 10 minutes for the apparatus to
warm up before turning on by pulling the measurement trigger. Secure the baery cover using the screw supplied.
2. If the device has not been used for a long me, when you turn it on again it will automacally measure the room tem-
perature rst and delay turning on for 1—2 seconds. If leaving the device for a long me, remove the baeries.
3. Select the body mode, aim towards the chosen surface (usually forehead) keeping 2—5 cm sensing range, and pull the
measuring trigger once. The temperature will display accompanied by a single beep.
4. If the measurement temperature is 38.0°C or higher indicang a fever, the device should emit 6 rapid beep sounds to
alert the user. The backlit display will be red. NOTE: If you have manually adjusted your default alarm threshold for
alerng a fever, this will only occur at your new seng. Please refer to the Seng funcon F2.
5. To turn o the device, simply do not touch it. It will automacally turn o aer 15 seconds.
Seng Funcons and Operaon

Care and Cleaning
The probe p (lens) is the most fragile part of the thermometer. It is essenal you keep it clean at all mes and avoid exposure
to hot steam, water, and dirt.
Cleaning the lens:
Very gently wipe the surface with a coon swab or so cloth moistened with an alcohol soluon. And allow to dry out com-
pletely. Please avoid cleaning the lens unless strictly necessary.
Cleaning the body:
Use a so, dry cloth to clean the thermometer display and body. If very dirty, use a so cloth with an alcohol soluon.
DO NOT USE ABRASIVE CLEANERS, SOLUTIONS, OR SUBMERGE IN WATER.
