Important Things to Know
1. Use the thermometer to measure your
temple temperature only, the area be-
tween the outer corner of the eye and
the hairline, over the temporal artery.
2. Do not place the thermometer on
scarred tissue, open sores or
abrasions.
3. Using drug therapies can raise skin
temperature, which may lead to
incorrect measurements.
4. Do not dismantle the unit except to
replace the batteries.
5. Children should not use the ther-
mometer without adult supervision.
6. Do not drop or expose thermometer
to electric shock as this may adversely
affect its performance.
7. The thermometer is not waterproof.
Do not immerse it in water or liquid of
any kind.
8. To ensure correct readings, wait at
least 2 minutes between continuous
measurements for the thermometer
to return to room temperature.
9. Do not use the thermometer around
flammable materials.

Important Things to Know
to direct sunlight, fireplace heat or air
conditioner flow, as this may lead to
incorrect readings.
13. If thermometer has been kept or
stored in a cold temperature, please
wait at least 1 hour for it to return to
room temperature before measuring.
14. Performance of the thermometer may
be degraded if the unit is operated or
stored outside the stated temperature
or humidity ranges, or if the patient's
temperature is below room temp.
15. Body temperature, like blood pressure,
varies from person to person. During
the day, it can range from 95.9°F to
100.0°F (35.5 to 37.8°C). For some
people there can be a difference be-
tween their temple and body temp.
We recommend learning what your
normal temple temperature is while
healthy so you can detect an elevated
one when you become ill. For
accuracy, be sure to measure the
same area of the temple each time.
16. Avoid taking a measurement for at
least 30 minutes after physical
exercise, bathing or eating.
17. Make sure the temporal area is dry
and clean of sweat, make-up, etc.
18. The device is intended for consumer
use only.
19. Calibration is recommended every
two years.
