How Does it Work?
The No Touch Temporal Thermometer obtains a
reading in 1 second by measuring the infrared heat given off either by the
temporal artery (located on the side of the forehead) or from bath water,
food, etc.

Normal Body Temperature

Temperature readings are different from person to person and also vary
depending upon the body location from which the temperature is
measured. Forehead temperatures tend to be comparable to oral
temperatures and approximately 1˚ lower than rectal temperatures for
the same individual. Temperature readings can also be affected by other
factors, including exercise, consuming hot or cold food/beverages prior
to taking a reading, and technique.
"Normal" temperature refers to each individual's average temperature
while healthy. You may want to measure and record your child's
temperature a few times when he or she is well, so that you will know
what is normal for your own child. On average, temperature ranges
are as follows:
TEMPERATURE NORMAL FEVER
METHOD TEMPERATURE RANGE
36.1°C to 37.5°C 37.6°C +

WARNING
• This is NOT an ear thermometer. Take
temperature measurements from forehead.
• Use caution when taking temperature readings
of bath water and food. This product is not
intended to touch the person or item whose
temperature is being measured.
• NEVER allow a child to play with this
thermometer. It is not a toy. This is a sensitive
electronic device and may be damaged if not
used properly under parental supervision.
• ALWAYS supervise your child when using
thermometer. NEVER allow your child to use it
alone or without close parental supervision.
• Avoid sudden impact and dust.
• Keep batteries out of child's reach.
Swallowing a battery could be fatal. Batteries
should not be charged or placed into extreme
heat as they may explode.
• Do not disassemble.

How to Measure Temperature

Please read this section carefully and all the way through before using the thermometer.
Ensure that thermometer is at room temperature, waiting 15 minutes if necessary.
Turn On: Press and release the ON/OFF button . All segments are displayed for one second (Figure A) and the unit
beeps once. The backlight goes off after 5 seconds. NOTE: You don't have to wait 5 seconds. Just advance to next step.
Verify/Select Mode: The default setting is "Forehead Mode". Verify that the thermometer is in the correct mode —
"Forehead Mode" (Figure B) or "Object Mode" (Figure C)— for the temperature you will measure. Press MODE
button to change current setting.
Forehead Temperature
1.
Press and hold the MEASURE button. The symbol, measurement
in progress symbol and "00" should be displayed (Figure D).
2.
While holding the MEASURE button, aim the temperature sensor at
the temporal artery, on the side of patient's forehead between the
eyebrow and the hairline. Position sensor approximately 2" - 3"
from forehead (Figure E).
3.
When the thermometer is positioned properly, it will beep
Hold 2-3 inches from temporal artery
steadily and the red Proximity Light will flash continuously. If the
thermometer is not beeping, move it closer or farther from the
forehead while holding the MEASURE button, until it is continuously
beeping.
4.
Release the MEASURE button, but do not move from position until
single beep occurs.
5.
The thermometer will beep, and the temperature reading will be
displayed (Figure F). NOTE: Wait 2 minutes before taking another
measurement so that thermometer has time to re-acclimate to the
room's temperature.
6.
Press the ON/OFF button to turn thermometer off. If left on, it will
automatically shut off in about 1 minute.

Trouble Shooting
