The thermometer measures the infrared heat generated
by the eardrum and its surrounding tissue, or t he
forehead skin surface over t he temporal artery. T he
thermometer then c onverts i t into a temperature value
shown on LCD.
NOTE
The thermometer does not emit any infrared signal.

Body temperature can vary from one person to next.
It also varies by location on the body and time of day.
Below 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 a fever.

Children younger than 3yearsold and havea
compromised immune systemand t he presence/
absence of fever is critical.

NOTE
As the forehead temperature is likely to be affected by
sweat, oil and the surroundings, the reading shall be
taken as a reference only.
If the probe is placed at an angle on the forehead, the
reading will be affected by surrounding temperature.
You can scan at 3 cm distance from the forehead.
