INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing this Infrared Forehead Thermometer. Please
read this instruction manual completely before using your unit to
ensure safe use, accurate results and long life of the thermometer.
This product is intended for household use; this product is not
intended to diagnose or treat any health problem or disease and
should not be used as a substitute for the consultation and advice of a
physician or other medical professional. Thermometers should only be
used under the supervision of an adult.
The infrared technology used in this thermometer takes the
temperature of people and objects without any physical contact
between the thermometer and the person or object. The thermometer
measures body temperature from approximately 1”” from the
forehead, making it less invasive and threatening than other
thermometers, as well as more sanitary. It can even be used when the
patient is sleeping. This thermometer also measures the temperature
of objects and liquids, making it useful for determining if a baby’s milk
or bathwater is ready.
All people and objects emit infrared energy. The Infrared Forehead
Thermometer measures that energy, taking 512 readings in one
second and converting those data to a single peak temperature, which
appears on the display. With proper care, your new thermometer
will provide your entire family with many years of safe, accurate and
comfortable temperature readings.

ENGLISH • 5
BODY TEMPERATURE AND FEVER
Body temperature can vary from 97°F(36.1°C) and 99°F(37.2°C) and
still be considered normal. The medically accepted ‘normal’ body
temperature is 98.6°F(37°C). Body temperature is commonly lower
upon waking than at any point during the rest of an individual’s active
hours.
A fever is defined as a body temperature that is elevated above the
normal for that person. It is important to determine what is normal
for an individual before determining if a fever is present. Tracking an
individual’s temperature on a consistent basis, at the same body site
and at the same time every day will help determine an individual’s
normal temperature.
TIPS FOR MEASURING
BODY TEMPERATURE
• Wait at least one minute between consecutive readings, to ensure
accuracy.
• Attempting to take temperature readings from sites on the body
other than the forehead may produce inaccurate results.
• The patient should remain still while the reading is being taken.
• If “Lo,” “Hi,” “Err,” or another error message appears, see the
Troubleshooting section of this manual for instructions on how to
resolve the problem.
• Infrared forehead temperature readings are equivalent to oral
temperature readings.
• Readings taken while asleep should not be compared directly to
readings taken while awake, as body temperature while asleep is
typically lower.
• Do not take body temperature readings within 30 minutes of being
outdoors, exercising or bathing.
• Level of activity, time of day, and other factors may affect body
temperature. Keep records of your individual body temperature to
use as a reference when judging a fever.

REPLACING BATTERY
The Forehead Infrared Thermometer comes complete with two AAA
batteries.
When the battery power becomes low, the low battery symbol
will appear on the display. The thermometer can still be used
during this time, but the batteries should be replaced soon.
If the batteries run out completely, “Lo” will be displayed along with
the low battery symbol. In this case, the batteries will need to be
replaced immediately. To replace the batteries, follow these steps:
1. Slide the battery cover off.
2. Carefully remove the old
batteries. Do not use a metal-
pointed tool.
3. Insert the new batteries,
ensuring that the positive and negative ends are aligned correctly.
4. Replace the battery cover.
5. Dispose of the expired batteries in accordance with local
environmental policies.

SWITCHING BETWEEN ºF / ºC
Your thermometer can display results in either
degrees Fahrenheit (°F) or degrees Celsius (°C).
To switch between Fahrenheit and Celsius,
while the unit is on press and release both the
PERSON/OBJECT button and the MEM Memory
button simultaneously until the °F icon on the
display switches to the °C icon, or vise versa, at
which time the mode has been changed and you
may release the buttons.

PROPER SENSOR PLACEMENT
The rectangle lens on this thermometer is a placement sensor,
designed to help ensure the thermometer is in the optimum position
for measurement.
• The correct sensor placement is 1” from the center
of the forehead; the device should never touch the
forehead or skin. Forehead should be clean and
clear of excessive hair, lotion or oils.
• The unit will sense if the device is positioned
properly and guide you to the correct position as
outlined in the measurement steps on the following page.
• When properly placed, the measurement happens in 1-second,
with results appearing on the display.

on the display
3. Aim the infrared lens at the individual’s
forehead, holding the thermometer
approximately 1” away.
NOTE: Proper placement and position
of the sensor is crucial for eective and
accurate measurement.
To measure body temperature using your Infrared Thermometer,
follow the below steps.
NOTE: See page 9 of this manual for more information
on Measurement Modes.
4. Press and release the MEASURE button. The
Person symbol, Scan in Progress symbol and

5. The positioning sensor will detect if the thermometer is in the
correct position. As necessary, slowly and steadily move the
thermometer toward or further from the forehead until the
thermometer is positioned correctly. The display will show
flashing dashes and will beep steadily while finding the position.
6. When the location is correct, the reading will
will occur in 1-second. The thermometer will
emit a final beep, and the results will appear
on the display, Fig 3.
7. If the temperature measurement is below
100.4°F (38°C), a happy face will appear on the
display. If the reading is at or above 100.4°F
(38°C), a sad face will display and the device
will sound 1 long and 2 short beeps, Fig 4.
8. After about one minute after use, the
thermometer will automatically beep and

Fig. 1.
3. Press and release the MEM button to scroll
through the readings in memory.
4. The index number above the temperature
reading indicates the sequential number
of the stored reading you are currently
viewing. The Person/Object icon will
indicate what mode the temperature
was taken in. For example, the device
may show reading 1 was a ‘person’
measurement, while reading 2 was an
object measurement.
5. After 10 measurements have been stored
in the memory, the oldest reading will be
automatically deleted.
6. To clear all records from the memory, hold
the MEM button down until you hear a
beep and two dashes appear on the display,
