INTROD CTION
4• ENGLISH
Thank you for purchasing this Veridian Touch-Free Infrared
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 0.5” – 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. Veridian’s Touch-Free
Infrared 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.

BODY TEMPERAT RE 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 dened 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 MEAS RING BODY
TEMPERAT RE
• 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.
