Intended Use:
A Temple Touch thermometer is a device which enables accurate body temperature measurements obtained by using a unique probe, which measures the
heat flow from the blood vessels to the skin and converts it to body temperature from the temple area in approximately 6-8 seconds.
Safety Information:
• High, prolonged fever requires immediate medical attention, especially for young
children.
• Do not allow children to take their temperatures unattended.
• Read the enclosed instructions carefully to ensure accurate temperature readings.
Temperature readings are affected by many factors including exercise, drinking hot or
cold beverages prior to taking a reading as well as technique.
• WARNING: Keep batteries out of children’s reach. Swallowing a battery could be
harmful. Batteries should not be recharged or placed into extreme heat as they may
explode.
• WARNING: It is recommended to remove the batteries from the thermometer
when it is not used for a long period. Do not dispose of batteries in fire, recharge, put
in backwards, disassemble, mix with used or other battery types – they may explode or
leak and cause injury. Waste batteries should be deposited in a batteries recycling trash
only.

to cause cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive harm.
• CAUTION: Do not drop the thermometer or expose to heavy shock.
• CAUTION: Do not immerse thermometer in water or any other liquid.
• CAUTION: Do not store the unit in direct sunlight, at a high temperature, in high
humidity or dust.
• CAUTION: Stop using the thermometer if it operates erratically or if display malfunctions.

Quick Start:
1. Press and release the MULTI-FUNCTION button.
2. Wait 2 seconds.
3. Hold firmly to temple, wait for beep.
4. Read results.
5. Before re-measuring: wait at least 1
minute.
Measuring Guidelines:
1. Measurement body location is the temple, in proximity to the temporal artery,
between the end of the eyebrow and hairline.
2. Do not place the thermometer on scarred tissue compromised by skin disorder,
open sores or abrasions and patients in trauma.
3. Temperature readings are affected by many factors including exercise and drinking hot or cold beverages prior to taking a reading.
4. Consult your physician when using drug therapies that may raise the local skin
temperature in the forehead; this may lead to an incorrect reading.
5. Do not place the thermometer on skin exposed to direct sunlight, fireplace heat,
air conditioner flow and cold/warm compress therapies.
Wait at least one minute between consecutive measurements for
6.
the unit to readjust to room temperature.
7. If the thermometer has been stored at a cold temperature, allow the unit to warm
naturally to room temperature before using.
8. Performance may be degraded if operated or stored outside stated temperature/humidity ranges.
Taking Temperature:
Use this thermometer on a clean dry forehead. Wipe away any
perspiration, move hair aside from the temporal area and apply
the probe to bare skin.
1. Press and release the Multi-Function button, all segments will
be displayed along with a single audible beep (Figure 1).
2. The previous result will be displayed for 2 seconds (Figure 2).
3. Wait for the hourglass icon to disappear (Figure 3). Do not try
to take a measurement before the hourglass icon disappears, as
this may compromise the results.

4. Place the thermometer's probe in the center of the temple area
between the end of the eyebrow and the hairline. Gently press
and hold it against the temple to ensure good contact with the
skin is maintained (Figures 4a + 4b). Correct placement and
good contact with the skin ensure reliable readings.
5. As soon as the thermometer is in place, the measurement will
start automatically. A running circle will appear indicating that
the measurement is progressing successfully (Figure 5). Make
sure that the thermometer and the patient do not move while
measurement is in progress.
6. A temperature reading will be displayed within 6-8 seconds. One long beep will
be heard to indicate that measurement is complete and temperature will be displayed for about 1 minute.
7. Press and release the Multi-Function button to turn the thermometer off, or it
will shut off automatically after 1 minute.
If you need to take another reading – wait at least a minute after turning the thermometer off and begin again. If you take a measurement
before 1 minute has elapsed, the device will perform a 10 to 0 countdown to allow the device to re-adjust.
DO NOT TRY TO MEASURE DURING THE COUNTDOWN. If you attempt to do so, the device will display the previous result, beep 8 times
and turn itself off automatically.
Setting the Operating Scale °F or °C
The device setting is by default fahrenheit (°F). To change the
scale to °C, or back to °F:
1. While off, press and hold the Multi-function button for 5 seconds, on the screen you will see the icon (°F, °C) changes.
2. Release the button, the hourglass icon will disappear in 5 seconds indicating that the device is ready for use.

Changing the battery:
To install/replace, first switch off the device. Remove the battery cover by sliding it
out of its housing. Firmly attach the batteries to their place, making sure polarity is
correct. (see engraving on the bottom of battery compartment). Slide the battery
cover back into place.
Troubleshooting and special indications:
The thermometer has been designed to display feedback-warnings to ensure proper usage and accurate temperature measurement. When an
error appears, the device will "beep" 5 times, and then the thermometer
will turn off automatically. In the event of a malfunction or incorrect temperature measurement, the following warnings will be displayed:
HI: If the measured temperature is above 107.6°F (42°C) the device will beep and display HI”.
Remedy: Turn the unit OFF, wait 1 minute and then ON again. Retake temperature using proper technique. If still reads HI, this indicates that the patient has a high fever. Seek immediate medical attention. NOTE: This is not a device
malfunction.
LO: If the measured temperature is below 95°F (35°C) the device
will beep and display “LO”.
Remedy: Turn the unit OFF, wait 1 minute and then ON again. Retake temperature using proper technique. If still reads LO, this indicates that the
patient has a low body temperature.
NOTE: This is not a device malfunction.
Er.1: If the thermometer is too cold or too hot to operate. The device will beep 5 times and display “Er.1”
Remedy: 1. Verify room temperature within product range 60.8°F104°F (16° C - 40° C).
2. Wait 1 minute and then retake temperature using proper technique.

Er.2: If the temperature did not register because of poor contact,
patient movement or poor placement, the device will beep 5 times
and display “Er.2”
Remedy: Turn the unit OFF, wait 1 minute, turn it ON again and retake temperature using proper technique.
Er.3: If the unit malfunctioned, the device will beep 5 times and
display “Er.3”
Remedy: Do not use the thermometer – Call 1-800-232-2670 for
service.
Low Battery: Battery icon is on continuously.
Remedy: The battery has enough remaining life for approxi-
mately 10 more measurements
Drained Battery: Battery icon appears as unit is turned on and
the device turns itself OFF.
Remedy: Replace battery.
