need for the consultation of a physician.

BEFORE USING FOR THE FIRST TIME
This device contains two AAA (LR03) alkaline batteries
which are equipped with an isolating strip. This isolat-
ing strip must be removed from the battery compart-
ment before using it for the rst time.
CHANGING FROM CELSIUS TO FAHRENHEIT:
1. While the device is powered o, press and hold the
START button for 5 seconds until SET andTemperature
unit appears on the screen.
2. Press and then release the START button when the
desired unit of measurement scale is shown.
3. The selected icons will ash on the screen to conrm
the new setting, then the thermometer will turn o
automatically after 5 seconds.
IMPORTANT OPERATING NOTES
• For more accurate readings, the patient and thermom-
eter should remain in a consistent room condition for at
least 30 minutes before measurement.
• This device measures the skin temperature on the fore-
head in order to determine human body temperature.
Skin temperatures can vary depending on a variety of
inuences. Some of these include bathing, swimming,
athletic activities, sweating, the use of ice packs,
extended exposure to high or low temperatures (out-
doors). Before taking someones measurement, please
wait at least 30 minutes so that the body can adapt to a
stable ambient temperature (room temperature).
• Taking your own temperature does not aect readings.
• Please ensure that the skin surface or the surface of
the object which is measured, as well as the sensor lens,
are dry before performing a temperature measurement.
This is to ensure accurate measurement.

• If the measurement is unusually low or doesn’t cor-
respond with the condition of the patient, the measure-
ment should be repeated every 15 minutes or compared
to a dierent measurement of core body temperature.
• In the initial stage of a febrile illness, a physi-
ological phenomenon called vasoconstriction (vascular
constriction) can occur, which leads to a lower skin
temperature. For this reason, a measurement with this
thermometer may return an unusually low result.
• Do not use this thermometer immediately after
drinking, eating, exercising, or nursing a baby.
• If taking the temperature of an object after it has been
microwaved, please be aware of the risk of burns. Sur-
face temperature will be lower than the temperature
inside the object.
• Doctors recommend rectal measurement for newborn
infants within the rst 6 months, as all other measuring
methods might lead to ambiguous results. If using a
non-contact thermometer on infants in this age range,
we always recommend verifying the temperature read-
ings with a rectal measurement.
In the following situations it is recommended that
three temperatures be taken and the highest one
used as the reading:
1. For children under three years of age with a com-
promised immune system and for whom the presence
or absence of a fever is critical.
2. For new users learning how to use the thermom-
eter, until they have familiarized themself with the
instrument and can obtain consistent readings.
3. If the measurement is surprisingly low. Readings
from dierent measuring sites should not be com-
pared. Normal body temperatures vary by measuring
sites and time of day (the highest in the evening and
lowest about one hour before waking up).

dened temperature range, a warning is displayed and
the temperature measurement is not carried out.
• If the ambient room
temperature is more than
104°F (40°C), the warning
notice“Er.H”appears and
there are 3 short acoustic
signals. The thermometer
will then switch o after 10
seconds.
• If the ambient room tem-
perature is too low in body
temperature mode [less than
59°F (15°C)] or is too low in
object mode [less than 41°F
(5°C)], the warning notice
“Er.L”appears and there are 3 short acoustic signals. The
thermometer will then switch o after 10 seconds.
If this occurs, make sure to use the thermometer under
