How to measure object temperature

1. Press "ON/OFF/Memory" button to turn on the device.
2. Make sure the measuring site icon is shown on the display before taking measurement.
3. Once aiming at the measured target, press the "Measuring Trigger" button to take temperature. Measurement is complete when you hear a long beep sound.
4. Read the recorded temperature from the LCD display.
5. If Bluetooth has been activated, the data is automatically transferred to the App after successful completion of the binding process, please see Data Transfer via Bluetooth.

Note:

1. Applications include temperature measurements for Water, Milk, Cloth, Skin or other object.
2. This mode shows the actual, unadjusted object temperatures, which is different from the body temperature.

Data Transfer via Bluetooth

Pairing the device with your Smartphone

1. Download and install the applicable APP onto your smartphone.
2. To bind this device with your smartphone, turn on the device, Bluetooth and the App of smartphone, and follow set-up and binding instructions.
3. The Bluetooth symbol ( ) will flash on the display that indicates the binding is proceeding.

• If the binding is successful, the Bluetooth symbol ( ) will illuminate on the display and the current measured temperature will automatically be transferred to the App.
• If the binding has failed, the Bluetooth symbol ( ) will keep flashing until the device shuts off automatically after 1 minute, and the current measured temperature will not automatically be transferred to the App. Please rebind this device with your smartphone.

Notes:

1. Unbinding your device will not delete the data from the App.
2. If you rebind your smartphone with the device, all prior reading history stored on the phone App will be retained.
3. Bluetooth data transfer will reduce the battery capacity.
4. Electromagnetic interference: The device contains sensitive electronic components. Avoid strong electrical or electromagnetic fields in the direct vicinity of the device (e.g. mobile telephones, microwave ovens).
   These may lead to temporary impairment of measurement accuracy.
   

Memory function

There are total 9 set memories for measurement records. If the reading of the thermometers is within the normal temperature range of 34°C to 42.2°C (93.2°F to 108°F ), when the measurement is done, the measurement data is saved into memory.

• Press "ON/OFF/Memory" button to repeatedly recall each temperature memory.

Care and cleaning

1. Storage temperature range: It should be stored at room temperature between -25~+55°C, (-13°F~131°F) RH ≤85%, 700-1060hPa.
2. Keep the unit dry and away from any liquids and direct sunlight.
3. The probe should not be submerged into liquids.
4. Please check the device if damaged once it falls. If you can't make sure of it, please send the complete device to the nearest retailer for recalibration.
5. Holding the thermometer too long may cause a higher ambient temperature reading of the probe. This could make the body temperature measurement lower than usual. Please try not to touch the thermometer probe part for avoiding the incorrect reading.

Installing Batteries

1. Open the battery cover: use thumb to push battery cover out.
2. Install or replace 2 "AAA" sized batteries in the battery compartment according to the indications inside the compartment.
