3. Press the START/STOP Button again to initiate the measurement. A beep will sound, and the temperature will be displayed on the LCD screen.
4. The 3-Color LED indicator will light up according to the temperature reading:
   • Green: Normal temperature (< 37.5°C / 99.5°F)
   • Yellow: Elevated temperature (Measurement in progress or slightly elevated)
   • Red: High temperature (≥ 37.5°C / 99.5°F)
5. The thermometer will automatically shut off after approximately 30 seconds of inactivity to conserve battery life.
