It is essential to use the Non-Contact Infrared Thermometer Model
RC003. You are therefore advised to read this instruction manual
and the safety precautions carefully before use.The Non-Contact
Thermometer Model RC003 is pre-set at the factory.
It is not necessary to calibrate the device when starting it up.
However, in order to obtain reliable results, you are advised to allow
the thermometer to acclimate to ambient temperature for 15 to 20
minutes before using each time there is a significant change in
environmental temperature.
It is also important to allow a one-minute interval between
measurements.
How The Non-Contact Infrared Thermometer Model RC003 Works
All objects—solid, liquid or gas—emit energy by radiation. The
intensity of this energy depends on the temperature of the object.
The Non-Contact Infrared Thermometer Model RC003 is therefore
able to measure the temperature of your body by your body
emits. This measurement can be taken thanks to an external
temperature probe on the device that analyses and registers ambient
temperature.
As an operator holds the thermometer aim at the FOREHEAD
activates the radiation sensor, temperature measurement is taken
instantly by detection of the infrared heat generated by arterial
blood flow. Body heat can therefore be measured without any
interference from the heat of the surrounding environment.
Use the Non-Contact Infrared Thermometer Model RC003 :
e you are sick.
surgery, illness or exhaustion.
es.
g strenuous physical activity .
u are under abnormal stress.

Rycom does not take responsibility for the results or actions of non-
medical personnel using the non-contact infrared thermometer
model RC003.
How To Take A Temperature
Aim at the FOREHEAD, over the right
temporal region, from a distance of
3cm - 5cm, press the thermometer’s
measurement button and the
temperature is instantly displayed.
The reliability of the measurement cannot be
guaranteed if the temperature is measured over
another part of the body (e.g. arm,torso…)

Instructions
1. Install battery
2. For the first use or when inserting new batteries, wait from 10-15
minutes for the warm-up of the unit. This will allow the unit to become
acclimated to the temperature of the room.
3. Aim towards the desired location, keeping the unit at a distance of 3
-5cm (1.2-2 in) from forehead, and press the Scan Button. Results will
be displayed and/or spoken in one second.
4.Before taking the temperature, make sure to remove hair and
perspiration from the forehead. You can also take the temperature
behind the ear lobe.
1. Setting the mode
Press mode button, and the screen will display: Body...°C
Press again and the screen will display: Surface Temp...°C
Press again and the screen will display: Room...°C
Note: The RC003 default is set to BODY mode
2. Press the “ °C/°F ” button to transfer between Celsius and Fahrenheit
3. Press ”MEM” button, which will then display the last temperature, and
allows for a view of the last 32 measurements taken.
Important: The area temperature differs from the internal body
temperature. To obtain the internal temperature always use the
BODY mode.
Please make sure to select the BODY mode for an internal
temperature reading and the SURFACE TEMP mode for an external
area reading.

Configuration And Function Of Menu
5. Recalibration of device via the F4 MENU
The F4 function will recalibrate the unit. The unit is set for reading
from the forehead. Recalibration is necessary if you desire to take
the temperature reading from one of the other reading areas
(perennial area, or upper gum). You must take your temperature
using a conventional thermometer and if you see a difference in the
reading, you must recalibrate the unit.
Instructions for recalibration:
Press the “MODE” and “°C/°F” buttons at the same time for 3 seconds.
The screen will then display: ”F4”
Press “Mode” to increase 0.1°C(°F), press “ °C/°F ” to reduce 0.1°C(°F).
Press “MEM” button to save the setting.
High Temperature Alarm
The factory default alarm is set at 38°C(100.4°F)
Battery Low Voltage Detection
If the battery voltage is less than 2.7V, the Non-Contact Infrared
Thermometer Model RC003 will beep four times and display the
symbol “ ” to remind you to replace the batteries.

The Non-Contact Infrared Thermometer Model RC003 can take
temperature readings below 32°C or above 42.9°C (89.6°F to 109.2°F)
but precision is not guaranteed outside of this range.
The Non-Contact Infrared Thermometer Model RC003 was conceived
for an intense and professional use. Its longevity is designed for
10,000 readings.
- The protective glass over the lens is the most important and fragile
part of the thermometer. Take care when using, storing or cleaning.
- Clean the glass with cotton fab ric dampened with a 95° alcohol
solution.
- Do not use other batteries than AAA . Do not recharge non-
rechargeable batteries, or throw batteries in fire. Please dispose of
batteries properly.
- Remove the batteries when thermometer is not used for an
extended period of time.
- Do not expose the thermometer to water or excessive sunlight.
- An impact may damage the product.

THE SCREEN DISPLAYS TEMPERATURE LOWER THAN 32°C (89.6°F):
To take the surface temperature, press the “Mode” button and set to
the reading called “Body.” If the device is in Surface Temp Mode, the
32°C (89.6°F) temperature displayed is showing the external
temperature of your body, rather than the internal.
THE SCREEN DISPLAYS THE MESSAGE HI
When using the Non-Contact Infrared Thermometer Model RC003
the message HI can show on the screen.In this case,the temperature
is above the measurement range selected, either above 42.9°C
(109.2°F) in Body Mode.
THE SCREEN DISPLAYS THE MESSAGE LO
When using the Non-contact Infrared Thermometer Model RC003,
the message LO can show on the screen. In this case, the
temperature analyzed is under the measuring range selected, either
less than 32°C (89.6°F) in Body Mode.
This message displays for various reasons. Please find below a list of
the main issues:
Reasons for LO message display Advice
Temperature reading hampered
by hair or perspiration.
Make sure there is no obstruction or
dampness prior to taking temperature.
Temperature hampered by an air
draft or dramatic change in ambient
temperature.
Make sure there is no air blowing
in the area of use; this could affect
the infrared reading.
Temperature readings are too close
together, and the thermometer did
not have time to reboot.
Pause for 15 seconds minimum
between readings; a 1-minute pause
is recommended.
The measuring distance is too far. Take measurements at the
recommended distance (between 3
and 5 cm; 1.2in and 2.0in).
