Product Description
Overview
Infrared Thermometer measures the body temperature based on the infrared energy emitted from the forehead. Users can quickly get measurement results after properly scanning the forehead. Normal body temperature is a range. The following tables show that this normal range also varies by site. Therefore, readings from different sites should not be directly compared. Tell your doctor what type of thermometer was used to take your temperature and on what part of the body. Also bear this in mind if diagnosing oneself.

After a Measurement
⚠️ Once the reading has been completed, remove the thermometer away from the forehead and observe temperature.
After each measurement, you can enter the recall mode and query earlier temperature readings.
⚠️ Do not hold the thermometer for a long time, because it is sensitive to the ambient temperature.
⚠️ After each measurement, clean the temperature probe with a soft cloth, and put the thermometer in a dry and well-ventilated place.
⚠️ You should wait at least 10 seconds between each measurement.
⚠️ It is dangerous to make a self-diagnosis or self-treatment based on the obtained measurement results. For such purposes, please consult a doctor.
Reading Your Temperature
The 'T' indicates a temperature reading in forehead mode.
If 89.6°F ≤ T ≤ 99.2°F (32°C ≤ T ≤ 37.3°C), the green light will last for 12 seconds, with one long beep.
If 99.3°F ≤ T ≤ 100.3°F (37.4°C ≤ T ≤ 37.9°C), the orange light will last for 12 seconds, with 3 short beeps, and the value on the LCD flickers, which is a warning that a light fever may be present.
If 100.4°F ≤ T ≤ 109.2°F (38°C ≤ T ≤ 42.9°C), the red light will last for 12 seconds, with 5 short beeps, and the value on the LCD flickers, which is a warning that a high fever may be present.
Switching Between Mute and Un-Mute
When the thermometer is turned on, short press the Mute-unmute button for less than 1 second to switch between un-mute and mute modes.

Caution
All memory records will be lost when uninstalling/reinstalling the batteries.
All settings will revert to default when uninstalling the battery. If settings need to be adjusted, ensure to power on the device and apply the new settings.
Replacing the Battery
Slide the battery cover off along the marked direction. Put two AAA batteries correctly into the compartment.
⚠️ Remove the batteries if the thermometer will not be used for more than two months.
Temperature Taking Tips
It is important to know each individual's normal temperature when they are well. This is the only way to accurately diagnose a fever. Record readings twice a day (early morning and late afternoon). Take the average of the two temperatures to calculate normal oral equivalent temperature. Always take the temperature in the same location, since the temperature readings may vary from different locations on the forehead.
A child's normal temperature can be as high as 99.9°F (37.7°C) or as low as 97.0°F (36.11°C). This unit reads 0.9°F (0.5°C) lower than a rectal digital thermometer.
Holding the thermometer for too long in the hand before taking a measurement can cause the device to warm up. This means the measurement could be incorrect.
Patients and the thermometer should stay in steady-state room condition.
Before placing the thermometer sensor on the forehead, remove dirt, hair, or sweat from the forehead area. Wait 10 minutes after cleaning before taking measurement.
Use an alcohol swab to carefully clean the sensor and wait for 5 minutes before taking a measurement on another patient. Wiping the forehead with a warm or cool cloth may impact your reading. It is advised to wait 10 minutes before taking a reading.
In the following situations, it is recommended that 3-5 temperatures in the same location be taken and the highest one taken as the reading:
Newborn infants in the first 100 days.
Children under three years of age with a compromised immune system and for whom the presence or absence of fever is critical.
When the user is learning how to use the thermometer for the first time until they have familiarized themselves with the instrument and obtain consistent readings.
Care and Cleaning
Use an alcohol swab or cotton swab moistened with 95% alcohol to clean the thermometer casing and the measuring probe. After the alcohol has completely dried out, a new measurement can be taken.
A simple line drawing depicts a hand holding the thermometer, wiping the sensor area with a cloth, illustrating the cleaning process.
Ensure that no liquid enters the interior of the thermometer. Never use abrasive cleaning agents, thinners or benzene for cleaning and never immerse the instrument in water or other cleaning liquids. Take care not to scratch the surface of the LCD screen.
