2. Important Safety Information
Read the Important Safety Information in this instruction manual before using this device. Follow this instruction manual
thoroughly for your safety. Keep for future reference.
Warning
Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in death or serious injury.
• Keep the thermometer out of the reach of infants, toddlers and children.
• Always supervise children during temperature measurement.
• To help avoid choking, keep the battery, battery cover and screw away from infants, toddlers and children. If any of these
are swallowed, consult with your physician immediately.
• NEVER diagnose or treat yourself based on your readings. ALWAYS consult with your physician.
• DO NOT use the thermometer to measure anything other than human body temperature.
• This thermometer is designed for oral temperature measurements only. DO NOT attempt to take measurements at other
sites, such as in the ear, underarm or rectum as it may lead to injury or false readings.
• DO NOT attempt to take measurements when the thermometer is wet. It may cause inaccurate readings.
• DO NOT use the thermometer with other medical electrical (ME) equipment simultaneously. This may result in incorrect
operation of other medical electrical equipment and thermometers and/or cause an inaccurate reading.
• NEVER throw the thermometer into a fire. Dispose of the thermometer in accordance with your local regulations.
Data Transmission
• This product emits radio frequencies (RF) in the 2.4 GHz band. DO NOT use this product in locations where RF is restricted,
such as on an aircraft or in hospitals. Turn off the Bluetooth® feature in this thermometer when in RF restricted areas. For
further information on potential restrictions refer to documentation on the Bluetooth usage by the FCC.
• This product emits radio frequencies. Turn off the Bluetooth feature in this thermometer when taking a measurement
with a cardiac pacemaker, implantable cardioverter defibrillators, or other implanted electronic devices. This may result in
incorrect operation of the implanted electronic devices and the thermometer.
Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, may result in minor or moderate injury
Caution
to the user or patient, or cause damage to the equipment or other property.
• DO NOT use the thermometer in places where strong static electricity is present. It may cause an inaccurate reading
and/or cause the thermometer to operate incorrectly.
• DO NOT share this thermometer among other individuals because infectious diseases may occur.
• DO NOT disassemble or attempt to repair the thermometer. It may cause inaccurate reading and/or result in incorrect
operation of the thermometer.
• DO NOT bite on the thermometer because breakage and injury may occur.
• DO NOT pull or bend the thermometer.
• DO NOT drop or step on the thermometer or storage case.
• DO NOT subject the thermometer or storage case to strong shocks or vibrations.
• DO NOT use or store this thermometer in places with high or low humidity or high or low temperatures. Refer to
section 12.
• During measurement, make sure that no mobile device or any other electrical devices that emit electromagnetic fields is
within 12 inches (30 cm) of this thermometer. This may result in incorrect operation of the thermometer and/or cause an
inaccurate reading.
• Ensure that the thermometer has acclimated to room temperature before taking a measurement. Taking a measurement
after an extreme temperature change could lead to an inaccurate reading. OMRON recommends waiting for
approximately 2 minutes for the thermometer to warm up or cool down when is used in an environment within the
temperature specified as operating conditions after it is stored either at the maximum or at the minimum storage
temperature. For additional information of operating and storage/transport temperature, refer to section 12.
[Power] button
• Avoid smoking, drinking or eating for at least 30 minutes before taking a measurement.
Data Transmission
• DO NOT replace the battery while your reading is being transferred to your smart device. This may result in incorrect
[Connection] button
operation of the thermometer and failure to transfer your temperature data.
Battery Handling and Usage
• DO NOT insert the battery with its polarity incorrectly aligned because damage to the thermometer and injury may occur.
• ONLY use a CR2032 lithium button battery with this thermometer. DO NOT use any other type of battery.
• Remove the battery when the thermometer will not be used for 3 months or more.

• If battery fluid gets in your eyes, immediately rinse with plenty of clean water. Consult with your physician immediately.
• DO NOT replace the battery while the power is on.
• DO NOT use the battery after its expiration date.
3. How the Predictive Temperature Measurement Works
About the Equilibrium Temperature
The equilibrium temperature refers to the stable temperature of the inner body which is also known as "core body
temperature", such as the brain or internal organs.
With the thermometer in the mouth, it needs approximately 5 minutes to take the equilibrium temperature.
What is Predictive Temperature Measurement?
This thermometer predicts what the equilibrium temperature reading would be at 5 minutes after the start of the
measurement in approximately 10 seconds, by analyzing and calculating the rising oral temperature.

measurement
• Accuracy of the predictive temperature measurement could be affected by incorrectly taking a temperature
measurement, blood circulating conditions, or by body type.
4. Measuring Temperature Correctly
Measurement will not be accurate when the thermometer is incorrectly used to take a measurement.
• Place the sensor tip in the mouth under the tongue so that it rests to the left or right beneath the tongue.
• Use downward tongue pressure to hold the thermometer in place.
• Using your hand, hold the thermometer to keep it from sliding around in the mouth.
• Remain still and keep the mouth closed until the entire measurement is complete.

The following may result in incorrect measurements:
Taking a measurement immediately after exercising, bathing, eating or drinking.
• Wait at least 30 minutes before taking a measurement.
Taking a measurement after moving around after awakening.
• After awakening, it is recommended to take a measurement before starting your morning routine as this can increase
your body temperature. It is recommended to measure directly after waking up or rest 30 minutes before taking a
measurement.
Taking a measurement repeatedly.
• Turn the power off and wait at least 30 seconds, and then take a measurement again.
