The thermometer requires 2 AAA batteries (included). To install or replace batteries:
- Open the battery cover located at the bottom of the handle.
- Insert the 2 AAA batteries, ensuring correct polarity (+ and -).
- Close the battery cover securely.
4.2 Initial Settings
Upon first use or after battery replacement, you may need to set the temperature unit.
- With the device off, press and hold the 'Mem' button for a few seconds until the unit symbol (°C or °F) starts flashing.
- Press the measurement button to toggle between °C and °F.
- Once your desired unit is displayed, wait a few seconds for the setting to be saved automatically, or press the measurement button briefly to confirm.
5. Operating Instructions
5.1 Taking Forehead Temperature
- Ensure the thermometer is in Forehead Mode (indicated by a person icon on the display). If not, press the mode button to switch.
- Hold the thermometer approximately 0.3 to 1.5 inches (1-4 cm) from the center of the forehead.
- Press the measurement button once. The reading will appear on the display within 1 second, accompanied by a beep (if silent mode is off).
- Interpret the result using the color-coded backlight:
- Green: Normal temperature (89.6°F ≤ T ≤ 99.2°F / 32.0°C ≤ T ≤ 37.3°C)
- Orange: Slight fever (99.3°F ≤ T ≤ 100.3°F / 37.4°C ≤ T ≤ 37.9°C)
- Red: High fever (100.4°F ≤ T ≤ 109.2°F / 38.0°C ≤ T ≤ 42.9°C)
