Contains small parts, in order to avoid swallowing, please ensure any use by children is undertaken with adult supervision.

Operating environment

Do not bump or drop the device or store it with sharp objects and do not disassemble the device.
Do not use the thermometer in sunlight or water.
Do not use in an environment with strong electromagnetic interference.
For the most accurate results, make reading with an ambient (room) temperature of 10 – 40°C.
If the thermometer has been stored in a cold or hot environment, allow it at least 30 minutes to acclimate to room temperature before ma king measurements.
After heavy exercise always wait at least 10 minutes before taking forehead temperature readings.

When the batteries are removed from the battery compartment, the last stored measurements will be deleted from the memory.

Batteries and electronic equipment should be disposed of in accordance with applicable local regulations, and you should not throw them into household garbage to avoid irreversible pollution.

Operating description: Temperature mode settings

Calibrating:Your thermometer comes fully calibrated from the factory and is ready to use. However if re-calibration is required in the future please use the following steps:

Press the “Mode” button for three seconds until “F-1” appears on the display to confirm the device is in calibration drift correction mode. The previous temperature correction factor will appear on the display. To make a correction, measure a known, fixed temperature source. Enter the correction mode and press the + or – buttons to change the correction value and minimize the difference in readings. Repeat and adjust the correction value as needed until the measurement on the meter matches the known temperature. The calibration is applied to “Body Temp” readings.

“F-2”To set the temperature reading at which you wish to receive an alarm tone, press the “Mode” button a second time until “F-2” appears on the display. Press the + or – buttons to change the value. The alarm is applied to Body Temp readings.

“F-3”To set the temperature format press the “Mode” button a third time until “F-3” is displayed. The temperature units in °C or °F will be shown. Press the + or – buttons to select your preferred temperature unit.

“F-4”To set the backlight status, press the “Mode” button a fourth time until “F-4” is displayed. Press the + or – buttons to toggle the backlight function from ON to OFF.

“F-5”To set the laser status, press the “Mode” button a fifth time until “F-5” is displayed. Press the + or – buttons to switch from ON to OFF.

Body temperature measurements

NOTICEPlease note that to ensure an accurate reading, the forehead or temples must be free from sweat and cosmetics. In addition, skin irritations or taking vasoconstrictive medication can also distort the result when measuring temperature on the forehead.

Press the trigger to switch the thermometer on. The device performs a brief self test: all elements of the display are shown for approx. 1 second. A successful test is confirmed by the color LCD display (Red-Orange-Green).
Press the “B/O” button to enter the “Body temp” mode for accurate measurements in the range of 32.0-42.9 °C (89.6-109.2 °F).
Point the thermometer at the person to be measured ensuring a measurement distance of < 2.5cm.
Press the trigger to take a temperature reading. The temperature reading appears in the display.

With the backlight `ON’, voice `ON’ and the alarm temperature set to 38.0°C the following results will be delivered for each temperature range:

A Red display is accompanied with an alarm temperature limit (Fever alarm).

Release the trigger and the reading will display for approximately 15 seconds after which time the thermometer will automatically shut off.

Before shutting off, you can take further measurement if required.

If the temperature goes above 109.2°F or 42.9°C, “Hi” will appear in the display.
If the temperature goes below 89.6°F or 32.0°C,”Lo” will appear in the display.

NOTICEWhen the surrounding ambient or room temperature is lower than 10.0°C or higher than 40.0°C, measurement accuracy cannot be assured.

Object temperature measurements

Press the trigger to switch the thermometer on. The device performs a brief self test: all elements of the display are shown for approx. 1 second. A successful test is confirmed by the color LCD display (Red-Orange-Green).
Press the ” B/O ” until “Object temp” is displayed for accurate measurements in the range of 0.0 to 100.0°C(32.0 to 212.0°F).
Point the device at the surface to be measured and press the trigger to take a temperature reading. The temperature reading appears in the display.
Release the trigger and the reading will display for approximately 15 seconds after which thermometer will automatically shut off.

Before shutting off, you can take further measurements if required.

If the temperature reading is above 212°F or 100°C, “Hi” will appear in the display.
If the temperature reading is below 32°F or 0°C, “Lo” will appear in the display.

NOTICEThe value under this Mode is the object surface temperature and not it’s core temperature. For example, the reading on stainless steel will be obviously lower than the actual temperature.

WARNINGPLEASE TAKE ADEQUATE PRECAUTIONS WHEN HANDLING ANY OBJECT MEASURED.

NOTICE

Measurement notes

Keep the sensor and probe cavity clean before and after use.
Please use the thermometer in a stable temperature environment. When the ambient temperature fluctuates greatly (such as from indoor to outdoor), please leave it for about ten minutes before taking a measurement.
Do not start measuring body temperature immediately after measuring the temperature of extremely high or low temperature objects, please leave it for ten minutes before measuring again.
When the measurement object comes from a place with a large difference in the temperature of the measurement environment, it should Stay in the test environment for at least 10-30 minutes before measuring.
Try not to measure under forehead or if the skin has sweat or cosmetics applied etc. Do not take temperature readings within 10 minutes after exercise, bathing and meals.
Before measuring, ensure surfaces are free of frost, oil, grime, etc.
If an object’s surface is highly reflective, apply masking tape to the surface before measuring.
Measurements through transparent surfaces such as glass may not be accurate.

Device memory

The device automatically stores the previous 32 measurements taken.

To review the memorized readings, press the “Memory” button for one second – `M’ is displayed on the screen.
Use the + or – buttons to scroll through the stored measurements and memory locations.
To delete all saved measurements, simply remove the batteries while the device is turned on.

NOTICE

Browsing the memory while in `Body Temp’ mode displays the previous body temperature readings. Browsing the memory while in `Object Temp’ mode displays the previous object temperature readings.

General tips

The normal body temperature of the human body is not constant. There are differences in body temperature between different parts of the human body, morning and evening, and between men and women. There is a relatively stable range. It is normal that the same part may change by a few tenths of a degree every few minutes. In particular a Childs body is not fully developed enough to regulate temperature and therefore temperature changes will be more frequent. It is recommended to take several measurements to determine the highest reading. If you find that your baby’s temperature is abnormal you should contact your doctor immediately.

Note: The measured temperature value will be different according to the color of the human skin and parts of the body, and also in the case where the ambient temperature changes greatly, this is normal. The reason is that the exposed human body is more affected by the ambient temperature.

Cleaning

Keep the inner cavity of the sensor and probe clean, to ensure it does not affect the measurement accuracy.

WARNING

Never put this product into water or other liquids. For cleaning, wipe with a damp soft cloth.

Surface cleaning: Use a clean soft cloth or cotton swab to apply a little medical alcohol or water to wipe the dirt.
Clean the inner cavity of the sensor and probe: Use a clean soft cloth or cotton swab to apply a little medical alcohol to gently wipe the inner cavity of the probe or the top of the sensor. The device should only be used again after the alcohol has completely evaporated.
