Attention

Related to measurement

1. The measurement results are for reference only. Please do not make self-diagnosis and treatment according to the measurement results. If necessary, please go to hospital to take a medical treatment.
2. There is no absolute standard temperature of human body. In order to make a correct judgment for fever, it is important to know your normal body temperature, which is helpful to judge whether you have a fever or not.
3. Before measuring the forehead temperature, please make sure there is no sweat, cosmetics, oil stain, etc.
4. Before measuring, please make sure that the person does not have shower, exercise or eat in past 30 minutes. When human body is in a stable status, the body temperature measured is more referential.
5. Please do not measure the temperature near inflammation or scar, which will affect the temperature measurement results.
6. Please do not measure the body temperature immediately after taking the medicine. The temperature measured at this time is not referential.
7. Please do not measure in the environment where the temperature changes rapidly, such as the air outlet of air conditioner or heater, which will affect the temperature measurement results.
8. When measuring repeatedly, the measurement results may have small deviation, which is a normal phenomenon.
9. Please do not measure in strong electromagnetic interference environment (near working microwave oven, induction cooker, or near a active mobile phone call, etc.), which may lead to measuring improperly or inaccurate measurement results.
10. This product is for personal use. In order to avoid cross infection, please pay attention to the cleaning and disinfection of the product.

The temperature of human body belongs in a range and the range may vary among people. Temperature of individuals may also vary from time to time. We recommend that you know your normal temperature measured on the forehead, so that you therefore have a starting point for any temperature differences.

Self-diagnosis and self-treatment based on the measurement results could be dangerous, please contact the doctor for advisory and provide him/her the measurement results for reference.

Calibration

The thermometer has already been calibrated at the time of manufacture.
