How This Thermometer Measures Temperature; Control Displays And Symbols; Changing Between Body And Object Mode; Directions For Use - Microlife NC 120 Instructions Manual

• Do not use this device if you think it is damaged or notice
anything unusual.
• Never open this device.
• A basic physiological effect called vasoconstriction can
occur in the early stages of fever, resulting in a cool skin
effect. The recorded temperature using this thermom-
eter can, therefore, be unusually low.
• If the measurement result is not consistent with the
patient's finding or unusually low, repeat the measure-
ment every 15 minutes or double check the result by
another core body temperature measurement.
• This device comprises sensitive components and must be
treated with caution. Observe the storage and operating
conditions described in the «Technical Specifications»
section.
• Ensure that children do not use this device unsupervised;
some parts are small enough to be swallowed.
• Protect it from:
- extreme temperatures
- impact and dropping
- contamination and dust
- direct sunlight
- heat and cold
• If the device is not going to be used for a prolonged
period the battery should be removed.

3. How this Thermometer measures Temperature

This thermometer measures infrared energy radiated from
the forehead as well as objects. This energy is collected
through the lens and converted to a temperature value.
Temperature readings obtained by scanning above the
eyebrow area will provide the greatest accuracy.

4. Control Displays and Symbols

• All segments displayed 8: Press the ON/OFF button
5 to turn on the unit; all segments will be shown for
2 seconds.
• Memory 9: The last reading will automatically be
shown on the display for 2 seconds.
• Ready for measuring AT: When the unit is ready for
measuring, the «°C» or «°F» icon will keep flashing
while the mode icon (body or object) will be displayed.
• Measurement complete AK: The reading will be shown
on the display 4 with the «°C» or «°F» icon and the
mode icon steady. The unit is ready for the next measure-
ment as soon as the «°C» or «°F» icon is flashing again.
• Low battery indicator AN: When the unit is turned on,
the battery icon will keep flashing to remind the user to
replace the battery.

5. Changing between Body and Object Mode

For changing from body to object mode, slide the mode
switch 6 at the side of the thermometer downwards. For
switching back to body mode, slide the switch up again.

6. Directions for Use

Measuring in body mode
1. Press the ON/OFF button 5. The display 4 is activated
to show all segments for 2 seconds.
2. The last measurement reading will automatically be
shown on the display for 2 seconds with the «M» icon 9.
3. When the «°C» or «°F» icon is flashing, a beep sound is
heard and the thermometer is ready for measuring AT.
4. Aim the thermometer at the center of the forehead
with a distance of no more than 5 cm. Please remove
any hair, sweat or dirt from the forehead before
measuring to improve the accuracy of the readings.
5. Press the START button 3 and steadily move the
thermometer from the middle of the forehead to the
temple area (about 1 cm above the eyebrow). After
