Cautions
• The reliability of the measurement cannot be guaranteed if the temperature is measured from parts of body that
are not recommended.
• Similar to other thermometers, measurement error may occur within a range of ±0.2 °C (±0.4 °F).
• Measurement should not be taken until completely relaxed at normal room temperature.
• Please note that measurement may be incorrect after exercising, bathing or getting wet in the rain.
• Temperature between right and left temple could be different.
• Measurement may be incorrect when low battery ( ) signal is indicated. Replace the battery and re-measure.
• When measuring the temperature of a liquid (milk, water), place the probe as close as possible to the liquid but
ensure that it is not immersed into the liquid as this may damage your thermometer.
• Check your product regularly for damage and exhausted batteries.
NOTE:
ASTM laboratory accuracy requirements in the display range of 22 to 40 °C (71.6 °F to 104.0 °F) for IR
thermometers is ±0.3 °C (±0.5 °F), whereas for mercuryin-glass and electronic thermometers, the requirement
per ASTM Standards E 667-86 and E 1112-86 is ±0.1 °C (±0.2 °F).

Simple Operation Principle
Thebodytemperatureisreectedonthetemporalartery.
• The temporal artery is the artery located closest to the skin and is spread across the forehead. If the blood with
bodytemperaturereectionpassesthetemporalarteryonforehead,correspondingamountofinfraredrayswill
be generated. From the infrared rays, the body temperature can be measured.
• This product is a contactless type thermometer and does not make direct contact with forehead.
•The temperature measurement can be taken 2 to 3 cm away from the body or object.
• This will decrease discomfort or possible infections caused by touch.

How to take a temperature
IMPORTANT
If sweating on the forehead is present
we recommend changing the

Wipe away sweat on the forehead and
push back any hair from the forehead
before use.
▶
Recommended measurement is the temple area.
2~3 cm away
from forehead.
▶
If there is a significant change of surrounding temperature,
please, allow the thermometer to adjust to the new temperature
for at least 30 minutes before use.
