ADC Adtemp 429 User Manual page 10

Note: If the patient's skin is covered with hair, sweat, or dirt, clean the area
and wait 10 minutes before taking a measurement.
Note: Ensure that the thermometer is held firmly during measurement and that
the patient does not move until the measurement is complete. Patient movement
can impact the measurement.
4. Press and release the Measure button making sure not to obstruct your
view of the LED display or the buttons area.
5. Slowly move the device towards the patient's forehead. The unit will
beep continuously and a series of dash icons forming two circles
will rotate on the display. Once the correct distance is reached
(about 1 inch or 3 cm), an amber light will flash just below the
Mode and Memory buttons. The unit will emit a short beep
(except in night mode), and the backlit display will illuminate
when the measurement is complete.
Note: If the distance of the thermometer is too far from or too close to the patient' s
forehead, the dash icons will continue to rotate and the unit will beep (except in
night mode) UNTIL the correct distance is obtained. Once the Measure button is
pressed and released, you will have 20 seconds to obtain a temperature reading.
After 20 seconds the unit returns to standby mode.
6. To repeat the process, return to step 2.
7. The thermometer automatically turns off (with a single beep) after 30
seconds of inactivity.
Note: The device cannot be turned off manually.
