Common Errors
• If the screen displays
while on BODY mode, you may be
pressing the SCAN button before
aiming at the patient’s forehead.
• If multiple attempts display the same results,
you may not be waiting the 5 seconds between uses to
allow the previous temperature to be completed.
• To check previous temperatures, the memory
function (MEM) records the previous 32 scans with the
temperature reading and the mode in which it was taken.
• If the temperature appears low, check the MODE.
If attempting a BODY temperature in the SURFACE Temperature
mode, Temperature may read 1.4-6.5°F lower than actual.
