Operating Instructions

1. Taking a Temperature Measurement

The QardioTemp thermometer uses a contactless method for measurement.

1. Ensure the thermometer is powered on. The display will show the last temperature taken.
2. Position the sensor end of the thermometer approximately 3 centimeters (about 1 inch) from the center of the forehead.
3. Press the scan button (located on the front of the device).
4. The temperature reading will appear on the display within approximately 1 second. The display will light up, often green for normal temperatures, for a few seconds to enhance readability.

2. Understanding the Display

• Temperature Reading: Displays the measured temperature in Fahrenheit or Celsius (unit can typically be switched in settings or app).
• Color-Coded Indicator: The display backlight changes color to indicate temperature status. A red backlight typically signifies a fever.
• Last Reading: The device often displays the last recorded temperature upon power-on.

3. Synchronization with Qardio App

After taking a measurement, if the Qardio App is open and your device is paired, the reading will automatically synchronize and be stored in your health history. The thermometer can store up to 10 readings in its internal memory if not immediately synced.

4. Power Button and Flashlight Function

The QardioTemp thermometer features a power button and a scan button. Note that these buttons may not be explicitly labeled. The power button also controls a flashlight function. Pressing the power button once will turn on the device. A subsequent press might activate the flashlight. To turn off the device, you may need to press the power button again after the flashlight is on, or wait for the automatic shut-off feature (typically after 3 minutes of inactivity).

Maintenance

1. Cleaning

To ensure hygiene and proper function, clean the thermometer regularly.

• Wipe the device, especially the sensor area, with a soft cloth dampened with alcohol or an antiseptic wipe.
• Do not immerse the thermometer in water or any other liquid.
• Allow the device to air dry completely before storage or next use.

2. Battery Replacement

Replace the AAA batteries when the low battery indicator appears on the display or the device fails to power on. Refer to the "Battery Installation" section under Setup for instructions.

3. Storage

Store the QardioTemp thermometer in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Keep it out of reach of children.

Troubleshooting

• Inaccurate Readings: Ensure the sensor is clean and positioned correctly (approx. 3 cm from the forehead). Environmental factors or rapid temperature changes can affect readings. Consumer-grade devices may not provide decimal-level accuracy; focus on consistency and trends.
• Device Not Powering On: Check battery installation and ensure batteries are not depleted. Replace if necessary.
• No App Synchronization: Verify Bluetooth is enabled on your smartphone, the Qardio App is open, and the thermometer is paired. Ensure your phone's operating system meets the minimum requirements (iOS 12.4+, Android 9+).
• Display Issues: If the display is hard to read, ensure sufficient lighting. The display lights up for a few seconds after a measurement.
