3. Temperature readings are affected by many factors including exercise and
drinking hot or cold beverages prior to taking a reading.
4. Consult your physician when using drug therapies that may raise the local
skin temperature in the forehead; this may lead to an incorrect reading.
5. Do not place the thermometer on skin exposed to direct sunlight, fireplace
heat, air conditioner flow, or cold/warm compress therapies.
6. Wait at least one minute between consecutive measurements for the
unit to readjust to room temperature.
7. If the thermometer has been stored at a cold temperature, allow the unit to
warm naturally to room temperature before using.
8. Performance may be degraded if operated or stored outside stated
temperature/humidity ranges.

Switching Temperature Modes:

The default temperature scale is fahrenheit (°F).
To change the scale to °C, or back to °F:
1. While off, press and hold the multifunction button for about
five seconds. The hourglass icon will display, then the °F or °C
will change.
2. Release the button.

Battery Replacement:

With the device off, remove the battery cover by sliding it out of its housing.
Place the batteries in the chamber, making sure polarity is correct (see
engraving on the bottom of battery compartment). Slide the battery cover back
into place.

Troubleshooting:

The thermometer has been designed to display feedback warnings to ensure
proper usage and accurate temperature measurement. When an error appears,
the device will beep 5 times and then turn off automatically. In the event of a
malfunction or incorrect temperature measurement, the following warnings will
be displayed:
HI: If the measured temperature is above 107.6°F (42°C) the
device will beep and display HI.
Remedy: Turn the unit off, wait 1 minute, and then turn on again. Retake tem-
perature using proper technique. If still reads HI, this indicates that the patient
has a high fever. Seek immediate medical attention. NOTE: This is not a device
malfunction. 5
