Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Display shows "HI" | Temperature is higher than 109.4°F (43.0°C) or measurement distance is too far. | Ensure proper measurement distance (0.3"-1.2" from forehead). If temperature is genuinely high, seek medical advice. |
| Display shows "LO" | Temperature is lower than 89.6°F (32.0°C) or measurement distance is too far. | Ensure proper measurement distance. If body temperature is too low, seek medical advice. |
| No display/Device won't turn on | Batteries are dead or incorrectly installed. | Replace batteries with new AAA batteries, ensuring correct polarity. |
| Inconsistent readings | Improper measurement technique, environmental factors, or device malfunction. | Review operating instructions for correct technique. Ensure stable environment. If issues persist, contact customer support. |
