Important Safety Information
Read this section thoroughly before using the product.
Please ensure you observe the safety instructions
to avoid accidents, injury and damage.
Intended purpose
The Infrared Welcare Forehead Thermometer is
intended for non-contact measurement of human body
temperature only. It is designed for private use.
The use of temperature readings for self-diagnosis
is dangerous. Consult with a doctor for the
interpretation of results. Self-diagnosis may lead
to the worsening of medical conditions.
This product is not intended for use by persons (including
children) with limited physical, sensory, or mental abilities
or lacking experience and/or knowledge, unless they are
supervised by a person responsible for their safety or have
received and understand the instructions/safety warnings
for use of the product from this person in advance.
Safety Warnings
• Conducting self-diagnosis based on the measurement
results and/or treatment can be dangerous. Please
follow the instructions of your doctor.
• A high or prolonged fever requires medical
attention, especially for young children.
Please contact a doctor.
• Avoid using the product during or within 30 minutes
after strenuous exercise; a shower, bath, or sauna; or
using a cold compress.
• DO NOT point the LED light or Infrared sensor into eyes.
• If battery leakage occurs and comes into contact with
the skin or eyes, immediately rinse with plenty of water
and seek medical advice.
Warnings
• If there is any temperature difference between the
places where the unit is stored and where you are
going to measure, leave the unit in the room where
you are going to use it for more than thirty minutes to
allow it to reach room temperature rst, then take the
measurement.

About Normal Body
Temperature
The temperature in the forehead and temple area
differs from the internal temperature, which is taken
orally or rectally. Vasoconstriction, an effect which
constricts the blood vessels and cools the skin, this
can occur during the early stages of a fever. In this
case, the temperature measured by the Welcare
Forehead Thermometer may be unusually low.
If the measurement therefore does not match the
patient’s own perception or is unusually low, repeat
the measurement every 15 minutes. As a reference,
you can also measure the internal body temperature
using a conventional oral or rectal thermometer.
Body temperature can vary from one individual/
person to next. It also varies by location on the body
and time of day. The next page shows the statistical
normal ranges from different sites. Please keep in
mind that temperatures measured from different
sites, even at the same time, should not be directly
compared.
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.
