Important Safety Instructions - Microlife IR 150 Instructions Manual

1. The Advantages of this Thermometer
Measurement in 1 second
The innovative infrared technology allows measurement of ear
temperature in only 1 second.
Multiple uses (wide range of measurement)
This thermometer offers a wide range of measurement from
0 - 100.0 °C / 32.0 - 212.0 °F, meaning the unit can be used to
measure body temperature or it also has a feature allowing it to be
used to measure surface temperature of the following examples:
• Milk surface temperature in a baby's bottle
• Surface temperature of a baby's bath
• Ambient temperature
Probe cover free
This thermometer is more user-friendly and more cost-effective
since a probe cover is not required.
Probe LED
This thermometer includes a probe LED light which enables the
user to find the correct ear position in the dark and is used as a
reminder (flashing LED and probe light) to clean the thermometer
after each temperature measurement.
Accurate and reliable
The unique probe assembly construction incorporates an
advanced infrared sensor, ensuring that each measurement is
accurate and reliable.
Gentle and easy to use
• The ergonomic design enables simple and easy use of the ther-
mometer.
• This thermometer can even be used on a sleeping child without
causing any interruption.
• This thermometer is quick, therefore child-friendly.
Multiple readings recall
Users will be able to recall the last 30 readings with a record of both
time and date when entering the recall mode, enabling efficient
tracking of temperature variations.
Safe and hygienic
• No risk of broken glass or mercury ingestion.
• Completely safe for use on children.
• Cleaning of the probe can be done with an alcohol-moistened
cotton tissue, making this thermometer completely hygienic for
use by the whole family.
