3. Insert two new 1.5V AAA alkaline batteries (LR03) according to the proper polarity.
4. Slide the battery cover back on.

NOTE: Battery-operated

• Dispose of batteries properly, away from small children and heat.
• Remove batteries if the unit will not be used for an extended period.
• Dispose of batteries in accordance with local environmental and institutional policies and applicable legal regulations. Do not dispose of batteries in normal household waste.

Switching Between Fahrenheit or Celsius

The thermometer can display results in either Celsius (°C) or Fahrenheit (°F). Use the Memory and Mode buttons to change the mode.

Switching between 4 Kinds of Measuring Mode

1. With the power on, press the Mode Button to switch between Human, Object, Human/Night, and Object/Night modes.
2. The beep sounds are muted in Human/Night Mode and Object/Night Mode, indicated by the ? symbol on the LCD.

NOTE: Each press of the mode button will produce a beep sound to confirm activation, except for Night Modes.

Tips for Measuring Human Temperature

• The thermometer should be in the room where measurement is taken for at least 30 minutes before use.
• Attempting to take readings from sites other than the forehead may produce inaccurate results.
• The patient should remain still during measurement.
• Readings taken while asleep should not be directly compared to readings taken while awake, as body temperature is typically lower during sleep.
• Do not take body temperature readings within 30 minutes of being outdoors, exercising, or bathing.

Measuring Human Temperature

Taking a Measurement:

1. Press the Power Button. The unit will self-test, displaying all symbols. When ready, "--" will appear on the screen.
2. Select the desired mode by pressing the Human/Object Button. The ? symbol indicates Human Mode.
3. If the patient's skin is covered with hair, sweat, or dirt, clean the area and wait 10 minutes before measuring.
4. Ensure the thermometer is held firmly and the patient remains still during measurement.
5. Position the thermometer within 3cm (approx. 1 inch) from the center of the forehead, with the sensor aimed between the eyebrows.
6. Press and release the Measure Button. A short beep and backlight indicate completion.
7. A "Smiling Face" ? appears for readings below 38°C. A "Frowning Face" ? and LED light alert for readings of 38°C or above.
8. The thermometer will automatically beep and shut off after about 30 seconds of inactivity.

Fever Alarm:

Active only in Human Mode and Human/Night Mode.

Measuring Object/Liquid Temperature

1. Press the "Measure Button" to turn on the thermometer. All symbols will appear momentarily.
