INTRODUCTION
Thank you for choosing TD-1242 Forehead Thermometer. Please read this
instruction manual first so you can use this thermometer safely and correctly.
Please keep this instruction manual for future reference. This innovative
medical device uses advanced infrared (IR) technology to measure
temperature instantly and accurately on the forehead / surface. TD-1242
Forehead Thermometer delivers a body temperature reading from the thermal
radiation emitted from the forehead without contact to the body.
INTENDED USE
TD-1242 Forehead Thermometer is intended for the intermittent measurement
and monitoring of human body temperature from the forehead. The device is
intended for use of all ages for home and professional use by one with a good
understanding of the operation instruction, where the patient may be an
operator.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
READ THIS BEFORE USING AND KEEP THESE INSTRUCTIONS IN A
SAFE PLACE
1. Close supervision is necessary when the thermometer is used by, on, or
near children, handicapped persons or invalids.
2. Use the thermometer only for the intended use described in this manual.
3. Do not use the thermometer if it is not working properly, or if it has
sustained any damage.
4. Keep the sensor end clean and free of debris. See Maintenance section for
instructions.
5. Do not use ethylene oxide gas, heat, autoclave, or any other harsh
methods to sterilize the device.
6. Do not use the device shortly after exercise, bathing or coming indoors.
7. If coming from an environment of warmer or cooler temperature or after a
period of exertion, allow the user and the thermometer to acclimate to room
temperature for 20 minutes prior to taking a measurement.
8. As the forehead temperature may be affected by sweat, oil and the
surrounding temperature, the reading shall be taken as a reference only.
9. Do not use in presence of flammable anesthetic mixtures.
10. Do not use accessories which are not supplied or recommended by the
manufacturer.
11. Proper maintenance is essential to the longevity of your device. If you are
concerned about the accuracy of measurement, please contact the local
customer service or place of purchase for help.

ABOUT NORMAL BODY TEMPERATURE &
FEVER
Body temperature can vary from one individual / person to the next. It also
varies by location on the body and time of day. 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 if you
are concerned about your body temperature readings.

Recommended separation distance between
portable and mobile RF communications equipment and the TD-1242
The TD-1242 is intended for use in an electromagnetic environment (for home and professional healthcare) in which radiated RF
disturbances are controlled. The customer or the user of the TD-1242 can help prevent electromagnetic interference by maintaining a
minimum distance between portable and mobile RF communications equipment (transmitters) and the TD-1242 as recommended below,
according to the maximum output power of the communications equipment.
For transmitters rated at a maximum output power not listed above, the recommended separation distance d in meters (m) can be
estimated using the equation applicable to the frequency of the transmitter, where p is the maximum output power rating of the transmitter
in watts (W) according to the transmitter manufacturer.
NOTE1 At 80 MHz and 800 MHz, the separation distance for the higher frequency range applies.
NOTE2 These guidelines may not apply in all situations. Electromagnetic propagation is affected by absorption and reflection from
structures, objects and people.
