backlight on display, please consult with your physician immediately.
Restrictions of Use
This thermometer is clinically proven to produce accurate temperature
measurements. However, please be advised that the accuracy cannot
be ensured when the thermometer is not clean. Check that the

etecting sensor is clean before taking a measurement.
Introduction

Intended Use

Thermometer is intended for the intermittent measurement and
(n) (o)
monitoring of human body temperature from forehead measurement
at home.
A control measurement using a conventional thermometer is
recommended in the following cases :
1. If the reading is surprisingly low,
2. For new-born infants up to 100 days old,
Mini Owner's Manual
3. For children under three years of age who have a weakened
immune system or who react unusually in the presence or absence of
fever.

How does it work

The thermometer measures the infrared heat generated by the surface
of the skin over the vessel and its surrounding tissue.
The thermometer then converts it into a temperature value.
Note : The thermometer does not emit any infrared signal.

Getting Started

Selecting the Measurement Mode

There are two types of measurement modes.
a. Body Mode: This mode is used to measure the forehead temperature. Press the
On/Scan Button for less than 2 seconds to turn on the thermometer and enter into
body mode. When °C or °F blinks, the device is ready to take easurement. (c)
b. Object Mode: This mode is used to measure the object temperature.
Press the On/Scan button for 2~5 seconds to turn on the thermometer and enter
into object mode. When °C or °F blinks, the device is ready to take measurement. (d)
Selecting the Temperature Unit To select the desired measument unit, do the
following :
1. When the device is off, press the On/Scan button for 8 seconds.
2. As °C or °F blinks, press the On/Scan button to switch between unit (°C or °F). (e)
Then the device is ready to take measurement.
Note : If the device is left idle for 5 seconds, it will turn off automatically.

Perform the Test

Measuring a Body Temperature

1. Press the On/Scan button for less than 2 seconds when the thermometer is off to
enter into body mode. (f ) The full display will be shown on the screen for 2
seconds and then the last memory will appear for another 2 seconds (g).
2. When °C or °F blinks (c), aim the torchlight at one of the temple area, and press
the On/Scan button to start measurement. Make sure the detecting sensor is flat
(not at an angle), and close to the forehead. (h)
3. Gently and steadily move the torchlight across the forehead to reach the other
temple area in 6 second.
Note : Perform a forehead measurement with a distance within 3 cm.
4. Read the result. (i)
The measurement result will be displayed once releasing the On/Scan Button. The
reading is shown together with backlight and three short beeps.
Mini Owner's Manual
Note :
• As the forehead measurement temperature is likely to be affected by sweat, oil
and the surroundings, the reading shall be taken as a reference only.
• If the detecting sensor is placed at an angle close to the forehead measurement,
the reading will be affected by surrounding temperature. Babies' skin reacts very
quickly to the ambient temperature. Therefore, do not take their temperature with
MINI during or after breastfeeding because the skin temperature may then be
lower than the internal body temperature.
• If the reading is < 32°C (89.6°F), the display will show "L" together with red
backlight and three short beeps.
• If the reading is ≥ 32°C (89.6°F) and < 37.5 °C (99.5°F), the display will show the
reading together with green backlight and three short beeps.
• If the reading is ≥ 37.5 °C (99.5°F) and < 43°C (109.4°F), the display will show the
reading together with red backlight and ten short beeps.
• If the reading is ≥ 43°C (109.4°F), the display will show "H" together with red
backlight and ten short beeps.
• The interval of each next measurement is at least 3 seconds.
• The device remains in standby mode for another measurement with last readings
stays on the display, °C or °F is blinking. The device cannot perform another
measurement while the previous measurement still appears on the display with
backlight that lasts for 5 seconds.
• The thermometer will automatically turn off if it is left idle for 25 seconds.

Measuring an Object Temperature

1. Press the On/Scan button for 2~5 seconds when the thermometer is off to enter
into object mode. (f ) The full display will be shown on the screen for 2 seconds
and then the last memory will appear for another 2 seconds. (j)
2. When °C or °F blinks (d), point the torchlight to the object. (k) Make sure the
detecting sensor is flat and close to the object, not at an angle.
Note : Perform an object measurement with a distance within 3 cm.
3. Press and release the On/Scan Button, the device will take measurement.
4. Read the result. (l)
The measurement result will be displayed once releasing the On/Scan Button. The
reading is shown together with green backlight and three short beeps.
Note :
• If the reading is < 0°C (32°F), the display will show "L" together with red backlight
and three short beeps.
• If the reading is ≥ 0°C (32°F) and < 100 °C (212°F), the display will show the reading
together with green backlight and three short beeps.
• If the reading is ≥ 100°C (212°F), the display will show "H" together with red
backlight and ten short beeps.
• The interval for the next measurement should be 3 seconds.
• The device remains in standby mode for another measurement with last readings
stays on the display, °C or °F is blinking. The device cannot perform another
measurement while the previous measurement still appears on the display with
backlight that lasts for 5 seconds.
• The thermometer will automatically turn off if it is left idle for 25 seconds.

Recalling the Memory

Your thermometer stores 20 most recent body temperature readings.
1. Press the On/Scan button for 5~8 seconds to enter the memory mode. (f )
Three dashes ("---") will appear with blinking " " and greenbacklight. (m)
Be sure the thermometer is OFF before entering the memory mode.
2. Press the On/Scan Button repeatedly to review the results stored in the device.
Backlight in green or red will appear according to the memory reading. When the
last record appears on the screen, press the On/Scan Button again to return to the
