Quick Start

1. Install batteries into the thermometer making
sure the polarity is correct.

2. Press and release the POWER button. Unit
will beep once. Wait until it beeps again
twice and only °F shows in the display.

Do not place the probe to the temple before the
2 beeps or while the hour glass is still displayed

3. Place and hold the thermometer probe
firmly to the skin at the temple, wait several
seconds for the device to beep once more.

Once you place the probe to the temple, there is
no need to press the POWER button again. Doing
so will turn the unit off.

4. Read the temperature on the display.

1. Use the thermometer to measure your
temple temperature only, the area be­ tween the outer corner of the eye and
the hairline, over the temporal artery.

2. Do not place the thermometer on
scarred tissue, open sores or
abrasions.

3. Using drug therapies can raise skin
temperature, which may lead to
incorrect measurements.

4. Do not dismantle the unit except to
replace the batteries.

5. Children should not use the ther­ mometer without adult supervision.

6. Do not drop or expose thermometer
to electric shock as this may adversely
affect its performance.

7. The thermometer is not waterproof.
Do not immerse it in water or liquid of
any kind.

8. To ensure correct readings, wait at
least 2 minutes between continuous
measurements for the thermometer
to return to room temperature.

9. Do not use the thermometer around
flammable materials.

10. Stop using the thermometer if
malfunctions appear or if it operates
abnormally.

11. Clean the thermometer probe after
each measurement.

12. Do not take a measurement if the
temple area has just been exposed

2

to direct sunlight, fireplace heat or air
conditioner flow, as this may lead to

incorrect readings.

13. If thermometer has been kept or
stored in a cold temperature, please
wait at least 1 hour for it to return to
room temperature before measuring.

14. Performance of the thermometer may
be degraded if the unit is operated or
stored outside the stated temperature
or humidity ranges, or if the patient’s
temperature is below room temp.

15. Body temperature, like blood pressure,
varies from person to person. During
the day, it can range from 95.9°F to

100.0°F (35.5 to 37.8°C). For some
people there can be a difference be­ tween their temple and body temp.
We recommend learning what your
normal temple temperature is while
healthy so you can detect an elevated
one when you become ill. For
accuracy, be sure to measure the
same area of the temple each time.

16. Avoid taking a measurement for at
least 30 minutes after physical
exercise, bathing or eating.

17. Make sure the temporal area is dry
and clean of sweat, make-up, etc.

18. The device is intended for consumer
use only.

19. Calibration is recommended every
two years.

What are normal temperature values?

Human body temperature varies from
person to person. Also, a person’s
body temperature can fluctuate
throughout the day. Therfore, it is very
important to know your normal body
temperature range. Therefore, we
recommend you measure yourself
when healthy to establish referenced
temperatures which will make you feel
more confident of the measured
temperature readings when ill.
