15) Patients should not drink, eat, or be physically active before/while taking the measurement.

Please seek professional advice immediately when there is a temperature elevation and if you are taking temperature for whom are:

● Over 60 years of age (Fever may be blunted or even absent in elderly patients)

● Having diabetes mellitus or a weakened immune system (e.g., HIV positive, cancer, chemotherapy, chronic steroid treatment, splenectomy)

● Bedridden (e.g., nursing home patient, stroke, chronic illness)

● A transplant patient (e.g., liver, heart, lung, kidney)

Normal body temperature is a range. The following table shows that this normal range also varies by site. Therefore, readings from different site should not be directly compared. Tell your doctor what type of thermometer you used to take your temperature and on what part of the body. Also bear this in mind if you are diagnosing yourself.

The thermometer consists of a shell, an LCD, a measure button, a beeper, an infrared temperature sensor, and a Microprocessor.

The infrared temperature sensor collects infrared energy emitted by the eardrum or the skin surface. After being focused by a lens, the energy is converted into a temperature reading by the thermopiles and measurement circuits.

The Dual-mode Infrared Thermometer is intended for the measurement of human body temperatures. The forehead mode is indicated for people of all ages and the eardrum mode is indicated for people above three months old.

Do not use the thermometer if the ear is infected with otitis or suppuration.

2. Hold the Measure button keep in contact, scan the forehead from one side to the other and then release the button.

3. The beep is heard, you can now read the value.

NOTE: The forehead measurement is an indicative reading. The measured forehead temperature can fluctuate up to 1°F/0.5°C from your actual body temperature. Please be aware of the factors that influence the accuracy as described in the section “Temperature taking tips” and “WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS”.

▲ If the eyebrow area is covered with hair, sweat or dirt, please clean the area beforehand to improve the reading accuracy.

▲ Always check if the lens is clean.

▲ Always make sure the user and the thermometer will have been in the same room for at least 30 minutes prior to the measurement.

Take off the probe cover, fit the probe snugly into the ear canal. Press and release the Measure button in 1 second, the beep is heard, you can now read the value.

▲ Please make sure that the ear is clean, with no earwax or obstructions.

▲ The right ear reading may differ from the reading taken at the left ear. Therefore, always take the temperature in the same ear.

▲ Children under 1 year: Pull the ear straight back.

Children aged 1 year to adult: Pull the ear up and back.

▲ Do not force the thermometer into the ear canal. Otherwise, the ear canal may get injured.

▲ When taking the temperature on an adult, gently pull the ear up and back to make sure the ear canal is straight, so that the temperature probe can receive an infrared ray from the eardrum.

▲ Be careful when taking temperature on a child, whose ear canal is small.

When the thermometer is power off, press the Memory/Mute-unmute button for 3 seconds until it shows the object temperature mode icon (a house symbol). Then press the Measure button to measure. Keep the thermometer about 1-5cm away from the object. Press and release the Measure button in 1 second, the beep is heard, you can now read the value.

Once the reading has been completed, remove the thermometer away from the forehead/ear and observe temperature.

After each measurement, you can enter the recall mode and query earlier temperature readings.

▲ Do not hold the thermometer for a long time, because it is sensitive to the ambient temperature.

▲ After each measurement, clean the temperature probe with a soft cloth, and put the thermometer in a dry and well-ventilated place.

▲ You should wait at least 10 seconds between each measurement.

▲ It is dangerous to make a self-diagnosis or self-treatment based on the obtained measurement results. For such purposes, please consult a doctor.

T indicates a temperature reading. In forehead or ear mode.

1. If 32°C ≤ T ≤ 37.3°C (86.6°F ≤ T ≤ 99.2°F), the green light will last for 3 seconds, with one long beep.

2. If 37.4°C ≤ T ≤ 37.9°C (99.3°F ≤ T ≤ 100.3°F), the orange light will last for 3 seconds, with 3 short beeps, and the value in LCD flickers, which is a warning that you may have a light fever.

3. If 38°C ≤ T ≤ 42.9°C (100.4°F ≤ T ≤ 109.2°F), the red light will last for 3 seconds, with 5 short beeps, and the value in LCD flickers, which is a warning that you may have a high fever.

When the thermometer is turned on, keep pressing the Memory/Mute-unmute button for 2-3 seconds, to switch from un-mute to mute.

When the thermometer is turned on or power off, by pressing the Memory/Mute-unmute button to go to the memory mode, press this button again to check the 35 sets of memories one by one. If no value, it will display “—M”.

When the thermometer is turn on, press both the Memory/Mute-unmute button and Measure button for 2-3 seconds to go to the temperature compensation mode. By pressing the Memory/Mute-unmute button to adjust the temperature from ±0.0 to ±2.0.

Note: All the future temperature you are taking will be automatically added the value you are adjusted.

The unit will shut down automatically after 10 seconds of no use. Or you can keep pressing the Measure button for 5-7 seconds.

Caution

1. All memory records will loss when uninstall or reinstall the battery.

2. All settings will come to default when uninstall the battery. If need adjust the settings, please power on and make the new settings.

Slide the battery cover off along the marked direction. Put two AAA batteries correctly into the compartment.

▲ Remove the batteries if the thermometer will not be used for more than two months.

1) It is important to know each individual’s normal temperature when they are well. This is the only way to accurately diagnose a fever. Record readings twice a day (early morning and late afternoon). Take the average of the two temperatures to calculate normal oral equivalent temperature. Always take the temperature in the same location, since the temperature readings may vary from different locations on the forehead.

2) A child’s normal temperature can be as high as 99.9°F (37.7) or as low as 97.0°F (36.11). Please note that this unit reads 0.5°C (0.9°F) lower than a rectal digital thermometer.

4) Holding the thermometer for too long in the hand before taking a measurement can cause the device to warm up. This means the measurement could be incorrect.

5) Patients and the thermometer should stay in steady-state room condition for at least 30 minutes.

6) Before placing the thermometer sensor onto the forehead, remove dirt, hair, or sweat from the forehead area. Wait 10 minutes after cleaning before taking measurement.

7) Use an alcohol swab to carefully clean the sensor and wait for 5 minutes before taking a measurement on another patient. Wiping the forehead with a warm or cool cloth may impact your reading. It is advised to wait 10 minutes before taking a reading.

External factors may influence ear temperatures, including when an individual has:

– been lying on one ear or the other

– had their ears covered

– been exposed to very hot or very cold temperatures, or

– been recently swimming or bathing

In these cases, remove the individual from the situation and wait 20 minutes prior to taking a temperature.

Use the untreated ear if prescription ear drops or other ear medications have been placed in the ear canal.

In the following situations it is recommended that 3-5 temperatures in the same location be taken and the highest one taken as the reading:

• Newborn infants in the first 100 days.

• Children under three years of age with a compromised immune system and for whom the presence or absence of fever is critical.

• When the user is learning how to use the thermometer for the first time until he/she has familiarized himself/herself with the instrument and obtains consistent readings.

Use an alcohol swab or cotton swab moistened with 70% alcohol to clean the thermometer casing and the measuring probe. After the alcohol has completely dried out, you can take a new measurement.

Ensure that no liquid enters the interior of the thermometer. Never use abrasive cleaning agents, thinners or benzene for cleaning and never immerse the instrument in water or other cleaning liquids.

Take care not to scratch the surface of the LCD screen.

Guidance and manufacturer’s declaration-electromagnetic immunity

The infrared thermometer is intended for use in the electromagnetic environment specified below. The customer or the user of the infrared thermometer should assure that it is used in such an environment.

NOTE UT is the a.c. mains voltage prior to application of the test level.

NOTE 1 At 90MHz and 800MHz, the higher frequency range applies.

NOTE 2 These guidelines may not apply in all situations. Electromagnetic propagation is affected by absorption and reflection from structures, objects and people.

a. Field strengths from fixed transmitters, such as base stations for radio (cellular/cordless) telephones and land mobile radios, amateur radio, AM and FM radio broadcast and TV broadcast cannot be predicted theoretically with accuracy. To assess the electromagnetic environment due to fixed RF transmitters, an electromagnetic site survey should be considered. If the measured field strength in the location in which the thermometer is used exceeds the applicable RF compliance level above, the thermometer should be observed to verify normal operation. If abnormal performance is observed, additional measures may be necessary, such as reorienting or relocating the thermometer.

b. Over the frequency range 150kHz to 80MHz, field strengths should be less than 3V/m.

The infrared thermometer is intended for use in an electromagnetic environment in which radiated RF disturbances are controlled. The customer or the user of the infrared thermometer can help prevent electromagnetic interference by maintaining a minimum distance between portable and mobile RF communications equipment (transmitters) and the infrared thermometer 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.

NOTE 1 At 80MHz and 800MHz, the separation distance for the higher frequency range applies.
