Important: Read this First! This thermometer reads skin surface temperature and extrapolates body temperature from that reading. It does not read body temperature directly. All non-contact infrared thermometers that measure body temperature work this way. To get an accurate reading, point the thermometer at the side of the forehead or behind the ear where the skin temperature tends to be constant.

Skin surface temperature can and does fluctuate and this may significantly impact the reading. For example, exposure to hot or cold weather can cause the forehead temperature to be higher or lower, and the derived and displayed core body temperature will be off.
Thank you for purchasing the ennoLogic ® Body Infrared Thermometer eT210B. This thermometer is a handheld non-contact body infrared thermometer that works best when used to measure the temporal artery area of the forehead. This thermometer has two measurement modes: body temperature and surface temperature.
7. Trigger Button 8. Battery Cover Battery Installation and Replacement The eT210B body infrared thermometer requires 2 AA batteries to operate. The battery compartment is located in the handle of the unit, and the lid is located at the base of the handle.
MODE button once. When operated in body temperature mode, the eT210B will display temperature readings on the LCD display with backlight colors in green (normal), orange (elevated) or red (high), depending on the temperature reading.
When the thermometer is in this mode, the word “Surface” will display in the top left corner. To change the mode, pull the trigger button to turn the unit on, then press the MODE button once. When reading temperatures outside of the surface temperature range the display will show “Lo”...
stable surface skin temperatures and are good target areas for taking a body temperature reading. Hold the thermometer at a distance of 2 to 3 inches from the skin. Pull the trigger and within half a second the display will show the body temperature that was derived from measuring the surface temperature of the skin.
measurement mode, the display should show “Surface” in the upper left corner. If it shows “Body” instead, switch to surface temperature measurement mode by pressing the MODE Button once. Aim the thermometer at the surface you want to measure. Hold the thermometer at a distance of 2 to 3 inches from the surface you wish to measure.
lower right corner will now show “F2”. You will now see an offset value that is added to the temperature reading and can be adjusted up or down in the range of -9.0°F to +9.0°F (-5.0°C to +5.0°C). Adjusting this offset allows you to fine tune the accuracy of your thermometer in body temperature measurement mode.
The stored readings can be reviewed by pressing the Left or Right buttons. The number in the lower right corner indicates the memory location. To delete a reading, long-press the RIGHT button. The display will then change to the previous stored reading. Note that no readings are stored when in surface temperature measurement mode.
may be cleaned with a cotton swab dampened with water or isopropyl alcolhol. Storage Store the thermometer in a dry cool place at a temperature not exceeding the storage temperature range of 14°F to 140°F (-10°C to 60°C).
