• FORA IR42 has no user serviceable internal parts except
battery replacement.
• Always replace Sensor Cap (or place in cradle) when not in
use.
• Store in a dry location free of dust and away from direct
sunlight.
• Use a soft dry cloth to clean the plastic casing or a cloth
dampened with a solution of water and mild detergent.
Occasionally, 70% isopropanol solution may be used. Never
submerge in liquid.
• The sensor window is recessed to assist in keeping it clean
and free of debris. Inspect the lens and remove any debris.
Smudges may be cleaned by gently wiping the window with a
small foam-tipped swab (non-linting) moistened with 70%
alcohol. Wait 10 minutes prior to taking temperatures.
Body temperature can vary from one individual/person to the
next. It also varies by location on the body and time of day. Fever
indicates that the body temperature is higher than normal. This
symptom may be caused by infection, overdressing or
immunization. Some people may not experience fever even when
they are ill. These include, but are not limited to, infants younger
than 3 months old, persons with compromised immune systems,
persons taking antibiotics, steroids or antipyretics (aspirin,
ibuprofen, acetaminophen), or persons with certain chronic
illnesses. Please consult your physician if you are concerned
about your body temperature readings.
