Berrcom JXB-178 Non-Contact Infrared Thermometer Quick Start Guide
USING THE THERMOMETER
IMPORTANT: BEFORE TAKING FIRST MEASUREMENT
The thermometer needs to acclimate to the ambient environment (temperature) in which measurements will occur. It is important to allow the JXB-178 to acclimate to the room temperature for at least 15 to 20 minutes prior to first using the thermometer.
Subsequent usage – each time there is a significant change in the ambient temperature due to a change in the environment, allow the JXB-178 to acclimate to this ambient temperature for at least 15 minutes prior to using it.
CHANGING TEMPERATURE MODE
While the thermometer is turned on, press the MODE button to toggle through the three temperature mode options: BODY, SURFACE or ROOM.
NOTE: When first using the thermometer, the default is set to BODY mode.
NOTE: Measurement ranges for each temperature mode are as follows:
BODY mode: 89.6°F to 109°F (32°C to 42.9°C)
SURFACE mode: 32°F to 140°F (0°C to 60°C)
ROOM mode: 50°F to 104°F (10°C to 40°C)
NOTE: Once the thermometer is powered on, the last temperature mode measured will default as the current temperature mode.
NOTE: Always use the BODY mode to measure internal human temperature.
CHANGING TEMPERATURE UNIT
While the thermometer is turned on, press the MODE button for 2 seconds, screen will display “F1”, then press the MODE button to transfer between degree Celsius and Fahrenheit, confirm by pressing the MEM button.
TAKING A MEASUREMENT
- Press ON/SCAN button to power on the thermometer. When the devise is ready, the LCD screen will turn green.
- Position the thermometer between 1.2″ to 2″ (3 to 5 cm) from the patient’s forehead.
- Press ON/SCAN button to take measurement.
- A measurement will be displayed on the LCD screen.
- To repeat the process, return to step 2.
- Allow 3 to 5 seconds between measurements.
- The thermometer automatically turns off after 30 seconds of inactivity.
Note: High temperature alarm default setting is 100.4˚F (38˚C).
LOW BATTERY DETECTION
If the battery voltage is not more than 2.7V, the JXB-178 Non-contact Infrared Thermometer will display the flashed symbol 
to remind you to replace both batteries.
CHANGING THE BATTERIES
The JXB-178 Non-contact Infrared Thermometer requires 2 AA alkaline batteries. When the LCD screen displays , both batteries should be replaced. Open the lid on the bottom of the thermometer and replace the batteries, noting the correct battery positioning. Wait 15-20 minutes for the unit to acclimate to the ambient environment (temperature) before performing a test.
