How This Thermometer Measures Temperature; Control Displays And Symbols; Changing Between Body And Object Mode; Directions For Use - Microlife NC 100 Manual

• Do not use the instrument if you think it is damaged or
notice anything unusual.
• Never open the instrument.
• 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 instrument comprises sensitive components and
must be treated with caution. Observe the storage and
operating conditions described in the «Technical Specifi-
cations» section.
• Ensure that children do not use the instrument unsuper-
vised; 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 instrument is not going to be used for a prolonged
period the batteries should be removed.
WARNING: Use of this instrument is not intended
as a substitute for consultation with your physician.
This instrument is NOT waterproof so do not
immerse in liquids.
3. How this Thermometer measures Temper-
ature
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 measurement AT: When the unit is ready for
measurement, 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 measurement as
soon as the «°C» or «°F» icon is flashing again.
• Low battery indication 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.
