DEVICE DESCRIPTION AND INTENDED The non-contact infrared thermometer is an electronic device designed to absorb the infrared from human body to detect your temperature. It is intended to measure the human body temperature for infants and adults without contact to human body. It can be used by consumers in household environment and doctor in clinic as reference. 1 2 3
ABOUT BODY TEMPERATURE DEVICE AND DISPLAY OVERVIEW EXPLANATION OF SYMBOLS BATTERY INSTALLATION A person s normal body temperature c a n r a n g e f r o m 3 5. 5 C t o 3 7. 8 F (95.9 Cto 100.0 F) throughout the day. We recommend taking your temperature at different times during the day when you are NOT sick. This will give you a preliminary reference to know what your normal temperature is and how it fluctuated during a normal day. Then, when you feel sick or discomfort, knowing this will provide an index for a reliable diagnosis of a fever. Display Overview Quick Start Waiting for Setting Measuring Beeper On/Off Offset Adjustment Low Battery Power Off Type BF Applied Part WARNING 1. Use only same type of alkaline batteries to avoid incompatibility. 2. Replace with 2 new AAA batteries at the same time when the low battery indicator appears. 3. The memories will be erased after replacing the batteries. 4. Remove the batteries if the device is not likely to be used for a long period of time. 5. Do not dispose of battery in a fire. The battery may explode. DEVICE AND DISPLAY OVERVIEW Device Overview 1. Install battery into the device. Make sure the polarity (+ and -) of the battery matches as shown in the battery compartment. 2. P r e s s a n d r e l e a s e t h e P O W E R button, you will hear a short beep. The measuring process will begin after the hourglass disappears, you hear two short beeps and either C or F appears. 3. Aim the Probe toward the forehead or object approximately 5cm from surface, then press and release the POWER Button to record the measurement. 4. Read the temperature on the display. MMYY Warning and Caution Lot Number composed by month(m) and year(y) of manufacture Manufacturer Authorized Representative in the European Community 1.

Press and release the POWER Button to turn on device. 2. Press and hold the Memory/Mode Button firmly for about 3 seconds. 3. Continue to press and release the Memory/Mode Button to switch between the four modes/settings. Forehead mode This mode is intended to measure the temperature of forehead. the button when the screen show. 2. The device is now ready to measure forehead temperature. Refer to section on page 12 under Measurement Consideration. Carefully read and follow these instructions. Object temperature mode This mode is intended to measure the temperature of object surface. This mode is not intended for determining human body temperature. 1. When switching between four modes/ settings, simply stop pressing the button when the screen shows. 2. The device is now ready to measure the surface of object temperature. Beeper On/Off The default for beeper is ON. You may switch it off to avoid disturbing the patient or others. the button when the screen shows. 2. After the disappears, the device will show on. Press and release the Memory/Mode Button to show OFF. Press the POWER Button to confirm sound is off. 3. To turn the sound back on, repeat step 1 above. 4.

Offset Setting T h e d e v i c e i s c a p a b l e t o c o n v e r t measured forehead temperature reading to oral temperature automatically. You can apply this mode as a reference temperature to other body sites such as rectal, axillary, and auricular. Please use other thermometer to measure your rectal, axillary or auricular temperature to confirm the temperature difference. Offset default is zero (off). Table 1 Body Sites Normal Temperatures Oral 35.5 C ~37.4 C (95.9 F ~99.3 F) Rectal 36.2 C ~37.9 C (97.1 F ~100.2 F) Axillary 35.0 C ~37.0 C (95 F ~98.6 F) Auricular 35.7 C ~37.9 C (96.2 F ~100.2 F) the button when the screen shows. 2. Press the Memory/Mode Button to start offset alignment when symbol disappears. 3. Press the POWER Button to increase offset within range from +1 C to -1 C (+2 F to -2 F). 4.
