Rossmax non-contact temple thermometer using an infrared detector to detect body temperature from the temple for adult and child at home. This thermometer could also detect ambient temperature.
This thermometer converts the temple temperature to display its "oral equivalent."(according to the result of the clinical evaluation)
Please read the instruction manual carefully before using the product and be sure to keep this manual.

Function
Temple Temperature
The thermometer has been designed for practical use. It's not meant to replace a visit to the doctor. Please also remember to compare the measurement result to your regular body temperature.
Object Mode
The object mode shows the actual, unadjusted surface temperatures, which is different from the body temperature. It can help you to measure any object other than body surface, for example the baby's milk.
Fever Alarm
If thermometer detects a body temperature => 37.5°C, there will be four beeps sound with flashing reading to warn the user for potential fever.
How to measure temple temperature
Always make sure the probe is clean, and without damage.
Press "ON/OFF/Memory" button to power on the device.
Vertically aim the thermometer at the temple with a distance of less than 5 cm. If the temple is covered with hair, sweat or dirt, remove the obstacle from the temple to improve the measuring accuracy.
Press the "Start" button to take temperature. Measurement is complete when you hear a long beep sound.
Read the recorded temperature from the LCD display.
Clean the probe after each use to ensure an accurate reading and avoid cross contamination. ( See the section of Care and Cleaning for details.)
Remember to put in the storage case when not in use.
Switching between Fahrenheit and Celsius
Make sure the device is off. (Or you can turn off the device by pressing and holding the "On/Off/Memory" button for 3 seconds.)
Hold onto the "Start" button, then press and hold the "On/Off/Memory" button until °C appears on the LCD.
Press the "On/Off/Memory" button to select the desired scale °C or °F, once you decide the scale, wait for 5 seconds and the setting will be confirmed while you will hear 2 short beep sounds.
How to measure object temperature
When you want to measure object temperature, you have to change to Object Mode.
Make sure the device is turned off.
Press and hold down the "Start" button. After about 3 seconds, the display will show this sequence:
Release the "Start" button when the desired measurement mode is shown and 1 short beep sound will be heard.
When you are at Object Mode, press the "Start" button to get the real temperature.
Note:
Applications include temperature measurements for Water, Milk, Cloth, Skin or other object.
This mode shows the actual, unadjusted object temperatures, which is different from the body temperature.
Care and cleaning
The probe is the most delicate part of the thermometer. Use with care when cleaning the lens to avoid damage.
After the measurement, please use the cotton swab with the Alcohol (70% concentration) to clean the inside of the probe, including lens and metal parts .
Allow the probe to fully dry for at least 5 minutes.
Storage temperature range: It should be stored at room temperature between -25~+55°C, RH<=95%
Keep the unit dry and away from any liquids and direct sunlight.
The probe should not be submerged into liquids.
Please check the device if damaged once it falls. If you can't make sure of it, please send the complete device to the nearest retailer for re-calibration.
Holding the thermometer too long may cause a higher ambient temperature reading of the probe. This could make the body temperature measurement lower than usual. Please try not to touch the thermometer probe part for avoiding the incorrect reading.
Battery Replacement
Open the battery cover: use thumb to push battery cover out.
Hold the device and flip the battery out.
Insert the new battery down with the correct electrical polarity.
Place back the battery cover.
Keep the battery away from children.

Caution
Only use the device once you have read and understood these instructions for use. Keep the instruction manual for use.
The thermometer and patient needs to stay in the room in which the measurement is taken for at least 30 minutes before use.
It is recommend that you always take the temperature in the same location, since temperature readings may vary according to the locations.
It is recommended that three temperatures are taken and the highest one taken as the reading if:
New born infants
Children with a compromised immune system and for whom the presence or absence of fever is critical.
When the user is learning how to use the thermometer for the first time until he/she has familiarized himself/herself with the instrument and obtains consistent readings.
The reading is extremely low.
Do not take a measurement while drinking, eating, sweating or exercising.
Do not take measurement while or immediately after nursing.
Children is not allowed to use the device. Medical products are not toys.
Influences on body temperature
A person's individual metabolism
Age: Greater temperature fluctuations occur faster and more often in children. Normal body temperature decreases with age.
Clothing
Outside temperature
Time of day: Body temperature is lower in the morning and increases throughout the day towards evening.
Activities: Physical and, to a lesser extent, mental activities increase body temperature.
