BEFORE YOU BEGIN
Cautions and Warnings
•As with any thermometer, proper technique is
crucial to obtaining accurate temperature
readings. Please read this manual thoroughly
and carefully before using.
•Always operate the thermometer in an operating
temperature range 16°C to 40°C (60.8°F to 104°F),
and relative humidity less than 95%.
•Always store the thermometer in a cool and dry
place -20°C to 50°C (-4°F to 122°F) and relative
humidity less than 95%.
•Avoid direct sunlight.
•Avoid dropping the thermometer, if it happens
and you think the thermometer may be damaged,
please contact customer services immediately.
•Do not touch the lens.
•Do not disassemble the thermometer.
•Basic safety precautions should always be
observed, especially when the thermometer is
used on or near children and disabled persons.
•This thermometer is not intended to substitute
for a consultation with your physician.
•This thermometer and the subject must remain in
a stable environment for at least 30 minutes
before measuring the temperature.
•When the measured temperature falls within the
fever temperature range of ≥37.5°C (99.5°F) and
<43°C (109.4°F), as indicated by the red LED
on display, please consult with your physician
immediately.

Restrictions of Use
This thermometer is clinically proven to produce
accurate temperature measurements. However,
please be advised that the accuracy cannot be
ensured when the thermometer is not clean.
Check that the probe is clean before taking a
measurement.
Intended Use
nu-beca No Touch Thermometer is intended for
the intermittent measurement and monitoring
of human body temperature from forehead
measurement at home. A control measurement
using a conventional thermometer is recommended
in the following cases: 1. If the reading is surprisingly
low, 2. For new-born infants up to 100 days old, 3.
For children under three years of age who have a
weakened immune system or who react
unusually in the presence or absence of fever.
How does it work
The thermometer measures the infrared heat
generated by the surface of the skin over the vessel
and its surrounding tissue. The thermometer then
converts it into a temperature value.
NOTE: The thermometer does not emit any infrared signal.

MAINTENANCE
Care &Cleaning
• The probe is not waterproof. Please wipe with a
clean and dry cotton swab to clean the probe on
the inside.
•The body of the thermometer is not water-
resistant. Never put the thermometer under a
running tap or submerge it into water. Use a
soft and dry cloth to clean it. Do not use abrasive
cleaners.
• Store the thermometer in a cool and dry place that
is free from dust and away from direct sunlight.

DETAILED INFORMATION
About Normal Body Temperature &Fever
The temperature in the forehead and temple area
differs from the internal temperature, which is taken
orally or rectally. Vasoconstriction, an effect which
constricts the blood vessels and cools the skin, can
occur during the early stages of a fever. In this case,
the temperature measured by the nu-beca No Touch
Forehead Thermometer may be unusually low. If
the measurement therefore does not match the
patient’s own perception or is unusually low, repeat
the measurement every 15 minutes. As a reference,
you can also measure the internal body temperature
using a conventional oral or rectal thermometer.
Body temperature can vary from one individual/
person to the next. It also varies by location on
the body and time of day. Table 1 shows the
statistical normal ranges from different sites.
Please keep in mind that temperatures measured
from different sites, even at the same time, should
not be directly compared. Fever indicates that
the body temperature is higher than normal. This
symptom may be caused by infection, overdressing
or immunization. Some people may not experience
fever even when they are ill. These include, but
are not limited to, infants younger than 3 months
old, persons with compromised immune systems,
persons taking antibiotics, steroids or antipyretics
(aspirin, ibuprofen, acetaminophen), or persons
with certain chronic illnesses. Please consult your
physician when you feel ill even if you do not have
fever.
