Please read these instructions carefully before using this product and keep the instructions and the thermometer in a safe place.
The Vicks VNT200 No Touch Forehead Thermometer is a non-sterile, reusable, clinical thermometer intended for the intermittent determination of human body temperature in a "no touch" mode, using the center of the forehead as the measurement site on people of all ages, in a home use environment.
The No Touch Thermometer measures infrared energy radiated from the skin at the center of the forehead area. This captured energy is collected through the lens and converted to a body temperature value.
The No Touch Thermometer has been clinically tested and proven to be safe and accurate when used in accordance with its operating instruction manual.
Temperature guidance helps you to better understand the meaning of your child's temperature with the color indicated on the display. The screen displays GREEN for a normal temperature, YELLOW for an elevated temperature, and RED for a high temperature. 4 double beeps indicate temperatures above 37.4°C (99.4°F) to alert the user that the individual may have a temperature.
Color Range | Reading | Meaning |
Green | 35.8 - 37.4°C (96.4 - 99.4°F) | Normal |
Yellow | >37.4 - 38.5°C (>99.4 - 101.3°F) | Elevated |
Red | >38.5°C (>101.3°F) | High |
NOTE: Backlight remains OFF when below temperature readings are registered: 34°C ≤ T ≤ 35.7°C (93.2°F ≤ T ≤ 96.3°F)
Herzog L., Phillips S. Addressing Concerns About Fever. Clinical Pediatrics. 2011; 50(#5): 383-390.
It is important to know each individual's normal temperature when they are well. This is the only way to accurately diagnose a fever. Take multiple readings when healthy to determine normal temperature.
A child's normal temperature can be as high as 37.7°C (99.9°F) or as low as 36.1°C (97.0°F). Be sure to note this unit reads 0.5°C (0.9°F) lower than a rectal digital measurement.
The individual being measured and the thermometer should be in the same ambient temperature for 30 minutes.
ALWAYS hold the thermometer and the forehead steady when taking a reading. DO NOT move the thermometer until you hear the final beep. DO NOT take a measurement while or immediately after nursing a baby.
Individuals should not drink, eat, or be physically active before/while taking the measurement. Remove hats and wait 30 minutes before taking a measurement.
Before taking a measurement, remove dirt or hair from the forehead area. Wait 10 minutes after cleaning the forehead before taking a measurement. ALWAYS take the temperature exactly as directed. Temperature results may vary if positioned in the wrong location or wrong distance from the forehead.

Press the "MEMO" button to view previous temperatures. The previous 10 temperatures can be displayed on the LCD screen. The most recent temperature taken will be the first temperature displayed after pressing the "MEMO" button. To view the next most recent temperature taken, press the "MEMO" button again.
To clear the memory of previous temperatures, press and hold the "MEMO" button for 4 seconds.
Press and hold the MODE button for 3 seconds. The LCD screen will display the word "Unit" in the center of the screen and "°F" in the right top corner.
Press the MODE button to change from °F to °C and then MEMO button to save setting.
After setting the Fahrenheit/Celsius setting the screen will then change to the Mute function. The display will show the speaker icon and the word "On." Press the MODE button to change to "Off" to mute the sound. Press the MEMO button to save selection.
The No Touch thermometer comes with 2 AAA batteries.
Replace with 2 new AAA batteries when the flashing battery symbol appears on the LCD screen. To change the batteries, slide open the battery cover and remove batteries. Replace the batteries being sure to align properly as indicated inside the battery compartment. Remove the batteries from the thermometer if it will not be used for an extended period of time to avoid damage to the product resulting from a leaking battery.
To protect the environment, dispose of empty batteries at appropriate collection sites according to national or local regulations.
Error Message | Situation | Solution |
Individual or object being measured is above temperature range of device, above 43°C (109.4°F) in human body temperature mode or 100°C (212°F) in surface temperature mode. | Make sure there are no obstacles in front of forehead or object being measured and ensure you are 0.4-2.0 inches from the forehead or object being measured. In addition, make sure the device is in the room for 15-20 minutes before taking a measurement. Lastly, wait 1 minute for every 2 measurements taken. | |
