5. Directions for Use
1. Press the power
button on front of unit. The LCD is activated to
show all indicators for 2 seconds.
2. When the screen shows "00", a beep is heard and the thermometer is
ready for measurement.
3. Place the probe gently and flush onto the area approximately 1/2 inch
above the center of the eyebrow. If the eyebrow area is covered with
hair, sweat or dirt, please clean the area beforehand to improve the
reading accuracy.
4. Press the power
button once. Move the thermometer steadily
from 1/2 inch above the center of the eyebrow to 1/2 inch above the
tail of the eyebrow area and back to the center of the forehead. A long
beep will sound after 3 seconds to signal measurement complete. If
you do not reach the tail of the eyebrow before the long beep is heard,
repeat the measurement, moving the thermometer a little quicker.
5. Read the recorded temperature from the LCD display.
Repeat measurement if necessary - repeat step 3 above and follow
instructions.
NOTE: The unit will shut off automatically after 30 seconds.
To avoid an inaccurate measurement, note the following:
• Patients should stay in steady - state room condition for at least 30 minutes.
• Don't remove the measurement device from the measuring area before hearing the
final beep.
• Don't take a measurement while or immediately after nursing a baby.
• Don't use the forehead thermometer in high humidity environments.
• Patients should not drink, eat, or be physically active before/while taking the measurement.
• Before placing the thermometer sensor onto the measurement area, remove dirt, hair,
or sweat.
• Use an alcohol swab to carefully clean the sensor and wait for 5 minutes before taking a
measurement on another patient.
• Always take the temperature in the same location, since the temperature readings may
vary from different locations.
• In the following situations it is recommended that three temperatures in the same location
be taken and the highest one taken as the reading:
1) Newborn infants in the first 100 days.
2) Children under three years of age with a compromised immune system and for whom the
presence or absence of fever is critical.
3) When the user is learning how to use the thermometer for the first time until he/she has
familiarised himself/herself with the instrument and obtains consistent readings.
