ThermoWorks WAND™ Non-Contact, Digital Forehead Thermometer

Indications for Use

ThermoWorks WAND is a non-contact digital forehead thermometer intended for the intermittent measurement of human body temperature in people of all ages.

Operating Instructions for Forehead Use

Press the ⚛︎ button to turn on the instrument. Hold the instrument within 1.5 inches (3.8 cm) from the center of the forehead and press and hold the 'Start' button until you hear one beep (unless muted) to indicate the reading is complete. Readings should take approximately 1 second.

The instrument will automatically turn off after 60 seconds. Manually turn the instrument off by pressing and holding the ⚛︎ button for 5 seconds.

The temperature displayed is the "oral equivalent" value. If the temperature is above 99.5°F (37.5°C), you will hear three short beeps followed by one long beep.

For Best Results:

• Keep the forehead area clean. Keep away from sweat, cosmetics, and scars while taking measurements.
• Please remain in a stable environment for 5 minutes and avoid exercising, bathing, or showering for 30 minutes, which can artificially raise your temperature.

Features

The ThermoWorks WAND thermometer features a non-contact design for hygienic measurements, a clear LCD display, and a fast response time.

Functions

Forehead Temperature:

This instrument has been designed for personal use. It is not meant to replace a visit to the doctor. Please compare the measurement result to your regular body temperature. Consult with your doctor if you have health concerns.

Surface Temperature:

Surface mode shows the actual and unadjusted surface temperature, which is different from the body temperature. To access surface mode, press and hold the ⚛︎ button while pressing 'Start' once. You will see the ≡️ icon on the display. Press and hold 'Start' for continuous surface measurements.

High Temp Alert:

If the thermometer detects a temperature of ≥ 99.5°F (37.5°C) using forehead mode, you will hear three short beeps followed by one long beep.

Memory Locations:

You can store 25 of the most recent temperature readings. To access these, start with the instrument turned on and press the ⚛︎ button once. The saved reading will display indicated by the 🔄️ icon. Press the ⚛︎ button again to advance through saved readings.

Switch °F / °C:

Start with the instrument turned off. Press and hold 'Start' for approximately 3 seconds while pressing the ⚛︎ button once. The icon will switch from °F to °C. Complete the process again to switch back to °F. Please Note: All stored memory readings will be deleted when switching between units.

Mute:

The default setting is for sound on. To turn the sound off, press and hold the ⚛︎ button for 3 seconds. The 🔇️ icon will flash on the display and the instrument is muted. Complete the process again to turn the sound on and unmute the instrument.

Battery Replacement

When the "Low Battery" icon flashes, the batteries should be replaced immediately with 2 x AAA, 1.5 volt batteries. To open the battery cover, use your thumbs to press down and slide the battery cover off. Remove and properly dispose of the used batteries promptly, keeping them away from children. Insert the new batteries according to the correct polarity. Replace the battery cover.

Troubleshooting

• Er1: Measurement was taken before the instrument had stabilized.
• Er3: Ambient temperature is not between 50 to 104°F (10 to 40°C). Allow the instrument at least 15 minutes to stabilize to the ambient temperature.
• Eror 5-9: All other error messages. Reset the thermometer by turning it off, removing batteries for at least one minute, reinserting batteries, and turning it on. If the error persists, contact Technical Support at techsupport@thermoworks.com.
• Hi or 'Lo': Temperature being measured is outside the measurement range. For forehead mode: lower than 93.2°F (34°C) or higher than 108°F (42.2°C). For surface mode: lower than -7.6°F (-22°C) or higher than 176°F (80°C).
• Instrument cannot be powered on: Please try a new battery.

Storage & Cleaning

Store the instrument at room temperature, away from liquids and direct sunlight. Allow the instrument to stabilize to ambient temperature for at least 15 minutes before use if there are significant temperature differences. Holding the instrument too long may cause a higher ambient temperature reading, leading to a lower body temperature measurement.

The sensor lens is delicate and must be kept clean. Use a soft cloth or cotton swab with medical alcohol to clean the lens, allowing it to dry completely before use.

Manufacturer's Declaration - Electromagnetic Emissions

WAND is intended for use in the electromagnetic environment specified below. The customer or user should assure that it is used in such an environment.

Manufacturer's Declaration - Electromagnetic Immunity

WAND is intended for use in the electromagnetic environment specified below. The customer or user should assure that it is used in such an environment.

NOTE 1 - At 80 MHz and 800 MHz, the higher frequency range applies. NOTE 2 - These guidelines may not apply in all situations. Electromagnetic propagation is affected by absorption and reflection from structures, objects and people.

Field strengths from fixed transmitters, such as base stations for radio (cellular/cordless) telephones and land mobile radios, amateur radio, AM and FM radio broadcast and TV broadcast cannot be predicted theoretically with accuracy. To assess the electromagnetic environment due to fixed RF transmitters, an electromagnetic site survey should be considered. If the measured field strength in the location in which WAND is used exceeds the applicable RF compliance level above, WAND should be observed to verify normal operation. If abnormal performance is observed, additional measures may be necessary, such as re-orienting or relocating WAND.

Recommended separation distances between portable and mobile RF communications equipment and WAND

WAND is intended for use in an electromagnetic environment in which radiated RF disturbances are controlled. The customer or the user of WAND can help prevent electromagnetic interference by maintaining a minimum distance between portable and mobile RF communications equipment (transmitters) and WAND as recommended below, according to the maximum output power of the communications equipment.

For transmitters rated at a maximum output power not listed above, the recommended separation distance d in meters (m) can be estimated using the equation applicable to the frequency of the transmitter, where P is the maximum output power rating of the transmitter in watts (W) according to the transmitter manufacturer.

NOTE 1 - At 80 MHz and 800 MHz, the separation distance for the higher frequency range applies. NOTE 2 - These guidelines may not apply in all situations. Electromagnetic propagation is affected by absorption and reflection from structures, objects and people.

Test specifications for ENCLOSURE PORT IMMUNITY to RF wireless communications equipment

WAND is intended for use in the electromagnetic environment specified below. The customer or user should assure that it is used in such an environment.

NOTE: If necessary to achieve the IMMUNITY TEST LEVEL, the distance between the transmitting antenna and the ME EQUIPMENT or ME SYSTEM may be reduced to 1 m. The 1 m test distance is permitted by IEC 61000-4-3.

a) For some services, only the uplink frequencies are included.

b) The carrier shall be modulated using a 50 % duty cycle square wave signal.

c) As an alternative to FM modulation, 50 % pulse modulation at 18 Hz may be used because while it does not represent actual modulation, it would be worst case.

This is not an AP or APG product.

This device should not be submerged into any liquids and exposed to direct moisture.

There is no gender or age limitation for using the infrared thermometer.

Choking from swallowing small parts and batteries by children or pets is possible; please keep small parts and batteries at places where children and pets can't reach.
