INTRODUCTION & INTENDED USE

Thank you for purchasing this Non-Contact Infrared Thermometer. Please read this instruction manual completely before using your unit to ensure safe use, accurate results, and the long life of the thermometer.This device is an infrared thermometer that is intended to measure the forehead temperature of individuals of all ages without making contact with the individual whose temperature is being taken. It can be used by consumers in household environments and doctors in clinics as a reference.The infrared technology used in this thermometer takes the temperature of people and objects without any physical contact between the thermometer and the person or object. The thermometer measures body temperature from approximately 1.2” – 2” from the forehead, making it less invasive and threatening than other thermometers, as well as more sanitary. It can even be used when the patient is sleeping. This thermometer also measures the temperature of objects and liquids, making it useful for determining if a baby’s milk or bathwater is ready.All people and objects emit infrared energy. The Non-Contact Infrared Thermometer measures that energy, taking multiple readings quickly and converting those data to a single peak temperature, which appears on the display.
