Introduction

This Rossmax non-contact temple thermometer is intended for measuring human body temperature; while is not intended as a substitute for consultation with your physician. This thermometer has been clinically tested in the hospital based on the regulatory standard protocol and proven to be safe and accurate when used in accordance to the operating instruction manual.

• The quality of the infrared temple thermometer has been verified and conforms to the provisions of the EC council directive 93/42/EEC (Medical Device Directive) Annex I essential requirements and applied harmonized standards. Comply with ASTM E196598(2016).
• 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 be fore using the product and be sure to keep this manual.

Function

How to measure temple temperature

1. Always make sure the probe is clean, and without damage. Pull out the insulation sheet of battery before taking temperature for the first time.
2. 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.
3. Press the "START" button to take temperature. Measurement is complete when you hear a long beep sound.
4. Read the recorded temperature from the LCD display.

Switching between Fahrenheit and Celsius

1. Make sure the device is off. (Or you can turn off the device by pressing and holding the "Memory" button for 3 seconds.)
2. Press and hold on the "Start" & "Memory" button at the same time about 8 seconds until °C or °F appears on the LCD.
3. Press the "Memory" button to select the desired scale °C or °F, release the "Memory" button to decide your desired scale, wait for 6 seconds and the setting will be confirmed.

How to measure object temperature

No matter the thermometer unit is powered on or off, for changing the measuring target between the temple and object, please set the slide switch to the corresponding measuring mode or target before the next measurement. After setting a new measuring target, the measuring site display icon will also be switched accordingly.

Once aiming at the measured target, 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.

Note:

1. Pull out the insulation sheet of battery before taking temperature for the first time.
2. Applications include temperature measurements for Water, Milk, Cloth, Skin or other object.
3. This mode shows the actual, unadjusted object temperatures, which is different from the body temperature.

Memory function

There are total 9 set memories for measurement records. If the reading of the thermometers is within the normal temperature range of 34°C to 42.2°C (93.2°F to 108°F ), when the measurement is done, the measurement data is saved into memory.

• Press " Memory" button to repeatedly recall each temperature memory.

Care and cleaning

1. The probe is the most delicate part of the thermometer. Use with care when cleaning the lens to avoid damage.
2. 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.
3. Allow the probe to fully dry for at least 5 minutes.
4. Storage temperature range: It should be stored at room temperature between -25~+55°C, (-13°F~131°F) RH=<85%
5. Keep the unit dry and away from any liquids and direct sunlight.
6. The probe should not be submerged into liquids.
7. 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.
8. 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

1. Open the battery cover: use screwdriver to loosen the screw on the battery cover.
2. Hold the device and flip the battery out.
3. Insert the new battery down with the correct electrical polarity.
4. Place back the battery cover and tighten the screw back.
5. Keep the battery & screw away from children.
