Forehead Thermometer
Instruction Manual
Please read these instructions carefully before using
the instrument and keep them in a safe place.
The Microlife Forehead Thermometer is a high quality product
incorporating the latest technology and tested in accordance with
international standards. With its unique technology, the Microlife
Forehead Thermometer can provide a stable, heat-interference-
free reading with each measurement. The instrument performs a
self-test every time it is switched on to always guarantee the
specified accuracy of measurements.
The Microlife Forehead Thermometer allows a simple and quick
measurement of the body temperature. Please keep in mind
that, - like any skin temperature -, the temperature at the
temporal area might differ from the core body temperature (e.g.
obtained by a rectal probe), which is due to a basic physiologic
effect called vasoconstriction. Since vasoconstriction can occur
in the early stages of fever, resulting in a cool skin effect, the
recorded temperature using a forehead thermometer may be
suspiciously low.
Skin temperature of babies reacts very quickly on ambient
temperature. Therefore do not take a measurement while or
after nursing; skin temperature may be lower than core
temperature.
If the measurement result is not consistent with the patient's
finding, always double check the result by another core body
temperature measurement, e.g. use an IR – eardrum thermome-
ter or a rectal pen-type thermometer.
Batteries and electronic instruments must be disposed
of inaccordance with the locally applicable regulations,
not with domestic waste.

1. The Advantages of your Thermometer
Measurement in 3 seconds
The innovative infrared technology allows measurement simply by
scanning the eyebrow area. After a scanning time of 3 seconds the
measurement will be displayed on the LCD.
Accurate and reliable
Due to the unique probe assembly construction, incorporating an
advanced infrared sensor this device can offer a temperature
measurement comparable to one taken from the oral site with a
regular digital thermometer.
Gentle and Easy to Use
• Appealing Penguin style delights the children.
• No need Probe Covers at all, which makes the thermometer
simple and easy to use.
• The thermometer can be used without interference to daily
lifestyle. A measurement can be taken even while a child is
sleeping.
• The thermometer is less threatening to a child than a rectal
thermometer and more pleasant to use than an oral
thermometer.
Auto-Display Memory
The last reading is automatically displayed for 3 seconds when
the unit is switched ON.
Multiple Reading Recalls
Users will be able to recall the last 12 readings when entering
the recall mode, enabling efficient tracking of temperature
variations.
Safe and Hygienic
• No risk of broken glass or mercury ingestion.
• Completely safe for use on children.
High Temperature Indication
10 short beeps and a red LCD backlight alert the patient that
he/she may have a temperature above 37.5 °C.
