MFT-9 Multi-function Infrared Thermometer
Real Time Clock
The real time clock will be recorded with the memory function and help you to recognize each
measurement result. (It includes the 12/24 Format_Hour_Minutes_Date.)
Please see the “Real time clock setting” section to learn how to setup the time in the first use.
Room Temperature
Suitable ambient temperature is important for the baby and patient, the thermometer always help you
recognize the room temperature.
Setting “Real time clock” first to enable this function. After power off, room temperature will be shown
on the screen with icon.
Please see the “Use of the thermometer” section to learn how to get the correct room temperature.
Ear / Forehead
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. Please
consult with doctor if you have health concerns.
Please see the “Use of the thermometer” section to learn how to measure the body temperature.
Surface Mode
The surface mode shows the actual, unadjusted surface temperatures, which is different from the body
temperature. It can help you to monitor if the object temperature is suitable for the baby or patient, for
example the baby’s milk.
Please see the “Use of the thermometer” section to learn how to measure the object temperature.
Stopwatch
The thermometer built the stopwatch function to help you to monitor the heartbeat since heartbeat is one
of the healthy indexes for people.
Please see the “Use of the Stopwatch” section to learn how to measure the heartbeat result.
Temperature Alarm
If thermometer detects a body temperature ≧99.5°F (37.5°C), there will be a long beep sound followed
by three short beep sound to warn the user for the temperature is above 99.5°F (37.5°C).
Zone Indicator
Under ear or forehead mode, if thermometer detects a body temperature <99.5°F (37.5°C), there will be "
Green" light signal; if temperature ≧99.5°F (37.5°C) and <100.4°F (38.0°C), there will be" Yellow" light
signal; if temperature ≧100.4°F (38.0°C), there will be" Red" light signal.
RED: Warning - Immediate response by the OPERATOR is required. Suggest continually monitoring
the body temperature. If in doubt about the person’s condition, seek medical assistance.
YELLOW: Caution - Prompt response by the OPERATOR is required.
GREEN: Ready for use.
Memory Locations
There are total 9 sets memories for body temperature. Each memory also records the measurement
date/time/mode icon and site location.

Important Notes
Care and cleaning
The probe is the most delicate part of the thermometer. Use with care when cleaning the lens to avoid damage.
a. 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.
b. Allow the probe to fully dry for at least 1 minute.
c. Storage temperature range: It should be stored at room temperature between
-4~122°F (-20~+50°C), RH≦85%
d .Keep the unit dry and away from any liquids and direct sunlight.
e. The Probe should not be submerged into liquids.
* Note: 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 recalibration.
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.
