Introduction

Congratulations on your purchase of the Model IR200 IR Thermometer. This thermometer is
intended for scanning groups of individuals or monitoring an individual for elevated temperatures. It
is not a substitute for a clinical thermometer. Always use a clinical thermometer when high accuracy
body temperature measurements are required.

Considerations and Warnings

Read all instructions before using this product.

Do not use rechargeable batteries in this device. Ensure that batteries are installed in the
proper polarity orientation before use. Failure to observe these precautions can result in
product overheating.

For the most accurate results, make reading with an ambient (room) temperature of 23 to
27°C (73 to 82°F).

Make sure the skin is dry and that no hair interferes with the measurement.

Do not immerse the meter in water.

Avoid touching and/or scratching the infrared sensor lens.

Always use a clinical thermometer to verify any abnormal temperature measurements.

Clean the lens area by gently blowing with compressed air and use a damp swab to wipe
the lens. Do not use any solvents to clean the lens.

Measurement Notes

1. If the meter has been stored in a cold or hot environment, allow it at least 20 minutes to
acclimate to room temperature before making measurements.

2. To prevent transmission of disease, avoid direct contact with the skin.

3. After heavy exercise always wait at least 10 minutes before taking forehead temperature
readings.
