OPERATING PRINCIPLES
All objects radiate infrared energy. The intensity of this
infrared energy depends on the temperature of the object.
Before using, familiarize yourself with the device.

To measure a body temperature, point the VeraTemp 2-3
inches 5–8 cm away from the patient’s forehead and press
the scan button
• There is no need to continue to hold the scan button down
• The temperature will instantly be displayed on the screen
• The screen will be green when the measured
temperature is between 36.3°C and 37.3°C
(97.3°F to 99.1°F )
The VeraTemp™ Personal Non-Contact Thermometer
measures the temperature of a person based on the
energy they radiate. This measurement is taken by the
external temperature probe on the device which
constantly analyzes and registers the ambient
temperature. When the operator holds the thermometer
in place about 5-8 cm (2-3 inches) from the center of the
forehead and activates the radiation sensor, the measur-
ment is instantaneously taken.
