Forehead Measurement Mode
This mode displays the oral-equivalent value of the measured forehead temperature.
Always make sure the probe lens is clean and undamaged, and the forehead is clean with no sweat, cosmetics,
scars, etc.
Prior to measurement, ensure that the patient has not taken a bath or exercised within the last 30 minutes, and
has remained in a stable environment for at least 5 minutes.
It is recommended to perform measurement three times. If the three measurements are different, select the
highest temperature.
1. Pull off the probe lens cap to remove it.
2. Press the ON/MEM button.
All indicators appear on the display for 1 second.
Then the display shown on the far right appears with two beeps.
