sores or abrasions and patients in trauma.
3. Temperature readings are affected by many factors including exercise and drinking
hot or cold beverages prior to taking a reading.
4. Consult your physician when using drug therapies that may raise the local skin
temperature in the forehead; this may lead to incorrect reading.
5. Do not place the thermometer on skin exposed to direct sunlight, fireplace heat, air
conditioner flow and cold/warm compress therapies.
6. Wait at least two minute between consecutive measurements for the unit to readjust
to room temperature.
7. If the thermometer has been stored in a cold temperature, allow the unit to warm
naturally to room temperature before using.
8. Performance of the device may be degraded if operated or stored outside stated
temperature and humidity ranges.
3. Directions for Use:
Use this thermometer on a clean and dry skin surface.
Wipe away any perspiration prior to use.
Taking Temperature:
1. Press and release the Power button, you will hear one short beep.
All segments will be displayed (Figure 1) and the backlight will turn
on automatically.
2. The previous result will be displayed for 2 seconds (Figure 2).
3.The room temperature and the hourglass will be displayed. (Figure 3).
4. Wait for the hourglass icon to disappear, then two beeps will be heard
to indicate that the thermometer is now ready to measure.
Do not take a measurement before the two beeps are heard.
5. Verify that you are in the correct mode: temple or underarm
(figures 4, 5), if you wish to change. Press and release the SET button.
6. For forehead measurement: Move hair aside from the temporal area
and apply the probe to bare skin, in the center of the temple area,
between the end of the eyebrow and the hairline (Figures 6a + 6b). Gently press
and hold to ensure good contact with the skin is maintained.

For underarm measurement:
a. Place the thermometer probe in the center of the armpit as shown
(figure 7).
Gently press the thermometer's probe in an upward motion.
b. leave the patient's arm raised up until completed.
Correct placing and good contact with the skin ensure reliable
readouts.
7. As soon as the thermometer is in place, the measurement will
start automatically. A running circle will appear indicating that the
measurement is progressing successfully (Figure 8).
Make sure that the thermometer and the patient do not move while
measurement is in progress.
8. A temperature reading will be displayed within 6-8 seconds. One long beep will be
heard to indicate that measurement is complete and temperature will be displayed
for about 1 minute. The backlight will stay on until the device is shut down.
9. Press and release the Power button to turn the thermometer off, or it will shut off
automatically within 1 minute.
If you need to take another reading – wait 2 minutes after turning the
thermometer off and then begin again.
4. ROOM TEMPERATURE DISPLAY:
1. When the thermometer is OFF, continuously press the power button.
2.
The last body temperature will be displayed, and then will switch
to the room temperature. (see figure 9)
The room temperature will be displayed unless you press the
power button again and switch off the thermometer.
5. Using ODPTTM – Over Dose Protection Timer:
The ODPT
TM
timer is designed to track the time elapsed between giving medicine
dosages to patient and to act as an alert to parents as to when next medicine dosage
should be given (based on time cycle set by parent).

7. Installing and replacing the Batteries:
The thermometer uses 2 standard AAA 1.5v batteries. To install/replace, first switch
off the device:
1. Using a screwdriver, loosen the screw on the battery cover and lift it off the
thermometer.
2. Remove the drained batteries and place new batteries in the battery compartment,
matching polarity according to the diagram.
3. Secure the battery cover using the screw.
IMPORTANT: It is recommended to remove the batteries from the
thermometer when it is not used for a long period.
WARNING: Do not dispose of batteries in fire, recharge, put in backwards,
disassemble, mix with used or other battery types – they may explode or leak and
cause injury. Waste batteries should be deposit in a batteries recycling trash only.
8. About body temperature measurement:
How does the thermometer work?
The accurate measurement is obtained
by using a unique probe, which
measures the heat flow from the blood
vessels to the skin and converts it
to body temperature.

of day and body location. Hot or cold baths, physical exercise, smoking and drinking,
hot or cold drinks may change body temperature by one degree or more.
The following table shows the temperature ranges:
*Fever definitions according to the American Medical Association
The thermometer is designed to measure the temperature in the forehead, in proximity
to the temple area, between the eye socket and the hairline. It is important to know
that the thermal characteristics of each measurement body location – temporal, axillar,
oral or rectal - are unique. The variance in temperature measurement in different body
locations is due to the human body and not the thermometer.
IMPORTANT: It is recommended to measure the body temperature when
healthy to establish the specific “normal” temperature
9.Troubleshooting and special indications
The thermometer has been designed to display feedback-warnings to ensure proper
usage and accurate temperature measurement. When an error appears, the device
will "beep" 5 times, and then the thermometer will turn off automatically. In the event
of a malfunction or incorrect temperature measurement, the following warnings will be
displayed:
Indication:
The measured temperature is below 95°F (35°C) and the
display presents: LO.
Instruction: 1. Turn the unit OFF and then ON again.
2.
Retake temperature using proper placement technique
(see section 3),
while ensuring normal room temperature (73°F – 77°F / 23°C – 25°C).
3. If still reads LO, this indicates that the patient has a low body
temperature.
What is fever? Average normal temperature ranges
Forehead Over 37.8°C/100°F 36.1°C–37.8°C / 97.0°F-100.0°F
Rectal* Over 38°C/100.4°F 36.3°C–38°C / 97.3°F-100.4°F

10. Care and Cleaning
* Wipe the tip and probe with an alcohol swab or a cotton swab moistened with 70%
isopropyl alcohol before & after each use.
After cleaning, wait at least 2 minutes before taking a measurement for the unit to
readjust to room temperature.
* Use only a soft dry cloth to clean the body of the thermometer (if necessary). Never
use an abrasive cleanser or submerge the thermometer in water or other liquids.
* Do not expose the thermometer to extreme temperatures, humidity, direct sunlight or
shock. Store at room temperature.
