How to Use:
Use this thermometer on a clean, dry forehead. Wipe away any perspiration and
move any hair away from the temporal area.
1. Press and release the multifunction button. The display will
flash and you’ll hear a single audible beep (Figure 1).
The previous result will display for 2 seconds (Figure 2)
then disappear.
2. Place the thermometer's probe in the center of the temple
area between the end of the eyebrow and the hairline.
Hold the unit gently but firmly against the temple to
ensure good contact with the skin. (Figure 3). Correct
placement and good contact ensure reliable readings.
3. Once the thermometer is in place, the measurement will
start automatically. A running circle will appear indicating
that the measurement is progressing successfully (Figure 4).
Make sure that the thermometer and the patient do not
move while measurement is in progress.
4. A temperature reading will be displayed within 6-8 seconds.
You’ll hear one long beep when the measurement is complete.
The reading will remain displayed for about 1 minute. The unit will turn off
automatically in about one minute. To prolong battery life, press the
multifunction button to turn off manually.
NOTE: You must wait one minute before taking another reading. If you
try to begin another reading before this time has elapsed (by manually
turning the device off and on), the unit will display a 10-second count-
down while it resets. If you attempt to measure during the countdown,
the device will display the previous result, beep 8 times and turn itself
off automatically.
Ensuring Accurate Temperature Measurement:
1. Measurement body location is the temple, in proximity to the temporal artery,
between the end of the eyebrow and hairline.
2. Do not place the thermometer on scarred tissue compromised by skin
disorder, open sores or abrasions, or patients in trauma.
