1. Features
Non-contact Measurement within seconds
The innovative infrared sensor measures temperature without even touching the sub-
ject for a safe and sanitary measurement within seconds.
Human and Object Measurement
Conveniently measures the temperature of a human being or an object with its sliding
switch.
Customized and Localized Option of Measurement
Reference site selection function enables you to take measurement for readings com-
parable to readings taken at conventional measuring sites (rectal, oral, axillar) with a
common pen-type thermometer.
Tracking light
Blue tracking light easily keeps you concentrated to the measured area while scanning
the forehead above the eye brow with the thermometer at a distance.

Non-contact Infrared Forehead Thermometer
Dear customer,
We thank you for having purchased Microlife FR1DZ1, the thermometer that takes a
fast, precise body temperature reading from a distance.
Microlife FR1DZ1 is a high quality product incorporating the latest technology and test-
ed in accordance with international standards. With its unique technology, the
Microlife FR1DZ1 can provide a stable, heat-interference-free reading with each meas-
urement. The instrument performs a self-test every time it is switched on to always
guarantee the specified accuracy of measurement.
The Microlife FR1DZ1 allows a simple and quick measurement of body temperature.
Please keep in mind that, like any skin temperature, the temperature at the forehead
and temporal area might differ from the core body temperature (e.g. obtained by rectal
measurement). For example a basic physiologic effect called vasoconstriction can occur
in the early stages of fever, resulting in a cool skin effect, so the recorded temperature
using a forehead thermometer may be suspiciously low. If the measurement result is
not consistent with the patient’s finding or suspiciously low, repeat the measurement
every 15 minutes or double check the result by another core body temperature meas-
urement, e.g. use an infrared – eardrum thermometer or a rectal pen-type thermometer.
Skin temperature of babies reacts very quickly to the ambient temperature. Therefore,
do not take a measurement while or after nursing, as the skin temperature may be
lower than the core temperature.

Measuring Body Temperature
1.Make sure the mode switch is in the upper position to enter the Body Mode.
2.Press the O/I button. The LCD is activated and performs an all seg-
ment check.
3.The last readings are displayed on the LCD for 2 seconds.
4.The thermometer is ready for measurement when
A short beep sound is heard
The °C/°F and the reference site icon on the LCD are flashing.
5.For starting the measurement, aim the probe at the center of
the forehead with any distance of no more than 5cm. If the
forehead area is covered with hair, sweat or dirt, please
remove them beforehand to improve the reading accuracy.
6. Then keep pressing the Start button. The blue tracking light
is activated as a reference of area under detection.You can
take measurement at any distance within 5 cm seeing the
blue light. Steadily move the thermometer towards the tem-
ple to detect the body temperature. As the sensor scans the
area, quick beep sounds will be emitted as indicator of tem-
perature detecting process. The beep sounds will slow down
to indicate that the body temperature has already been
detected.
7.As soon as beeps slow down, please release the Start button to get
the result. Stop aiming the probe. The display area shows the meas-
ured temperature.
8.Body temperature intelligent analysis.
•If the detected temperature is lower than fever level, a long beep is emitted and the
result is displayed with a green backlight.
• If the detected temperature is equal to or higher than fever level, ten short beeps

30 minutes before performing a measurement.
•Wait at least 2 minutes between consecutive measurements and the thermometer
must be turned off and on again.
•Don’t take a measurement while or immediately after nursing a baby.
•Don’t use the thermometer in high humidity environments.
•Patients should not drink, eat, or exercise before/while taking the measurement.
•Before aiming the probe, clean the scan area; remove dirt, hair or sweat.
•Before aiming the probe at an object, remove water, dust or dirt.
•Don’t move the thermometer away from the measuring area before hearing the termi-
nation beep.
•If the probe gets dirty during or after the measurement, use an alcohol swab to care-
fully clean the probe before putting it away for storage.
•Always take the temperature in the same location, since the temperature readings
may vary from different locations.
•In the following situations, it is recommended to perform a reference measurement
with a common pen-type thermometer(make sure the measuring site, rectal, oral, or
axillar, is the same habitual site also selected for FR1DZ1) :
1.If the measurement result is surprisingly low/high
2.Newborn infants in the first 100 days.
3.Children under three years of age with a compromised immune system and for
whom the presence or absence of fever is critical.
6. Reference Site
Microlife FR1DZ1 specially enables you to take measurements and judge the readings
according to your local habits. This is based on the considerations that people of
different regions have their customs about where to take the measurements with an
ordinary pen-type thermometer. (Rectal, oral, or axillar)
Microlife FR1DZ1 can measure for three types of readings comparable to readings
measured at such three conventional measuring sites as rectal, oral, and axillar with an
ordinary pen-type thermometer. We call this function as reference site.
To set the reference site:
1.Turn on the unit in Body Mode and wait until the °C or °F symbol is
flashing to indicate that the thermometer is ready for measurement.
2.Slide the mode switch down and up again (if the slide switch is already
down, you need to slide up, down and up again). The present reference
site icon flashes while the other two icons are steady.

will be emitted while the result is displayed with a red backlight to alert the patient
of possible fever.
Forehead scanning ONLY and NOT at any part of the body.
(Based on physician recommendation, temperatures taken at different body sites
belong to varied ranges. Fever levels also comply with this logic.)
Measuring Object Temperature
1.Make sure that the mode switch is in the lower position to enter the Object Mode.
2.Press the O/I button. The LCD is activated and performs an all seg-
ment check.
3.The last reading is displayed on the LCD for 2 seconds.
4.The thermometer is ready for measurement when
A short beep sound is heard
°C/°F icon on the LCD is flashing.
5.Aim the probe at the center of the object with any distance of no
more than 5 cm. If there is water, dust or dirt, please wipe them
beforehand to improve the reading accuracy.
6.Then keep pressing the Start button. The blue tracking light is
activated and the sensor measures the temperature.
7.Release the Start button after a few seconds to get the result and a
long beep will be heard. Stop aiming the probe. The display area
shows the measured temperature.
Note:
• Patients and the thermometer should stay in steady-state room conditions for at least
