2. Safety Information
Important Disclaimer:
Use of this thermometer is not intended as a substitute for consultation with your physician. It is clinically verified that forehead temperature is about 0.5-1.0°F lower than an oral temperature. Average normal forehead temperature is around 97.1 - 98.9°F. This thermometer provides the best results with contact or less than 0.5” non-contact from the forehead.
3. Setup
3.1 Battery Installation
The thermometer requires 2 AAA batteries (included). To install, open the battery compartment cover located at the back of the device. Insert the batteries, ensuring the correct polarity (+/-) as indicated inside the compartment. Close the cover securely.
