recommended separation distance d in metres (m) can be estimated using the equation applicable to the frequency of the transmitter, where P is the maximum output power rating of the transmitter in watts (W) according to the transmitter manufacturer.

NOTE 1 At 80 MHz and 800 MHz, the separation distance for the higher frequency range applies. NOTE 2 These guidelines may not apply in all situations. Electromagnetic propagation is affected by absorption and reflection from structures, objects and people.

NOTE 1 At 80 MHz and 800 MHz, the higher frequency range applies. NOTE 2 These guidelines may not apply in all situations. Electromagnetic is affected by absorption and reflection from structures, objects and people.

a. Field strengths from

fixed transmitters, such as base stations for radio

(cellular/cordless) telephones and land mobile radios, amateur radio, AM and FM radio broadcast and TV broadcast cannot be predicted theoretically with accuracy. To assess the electromagnetic environment due to fixed RF transmitters, an electromagnetic site survey should be considered. If the measured field strength in the location in which the GM-400EF Infrared Thermometer is used exceeds the applicable RF compliance level above, the GM-400EF Infrared Thermometer should be observed to verify normal operation. If abnormal performance is observed, additional measures may be necessary, such as re-orienting or relocating the GM-400EF Infrared Thermometer. b. Over the frequency range 150 kHz to 80 MHz, field strengths should be less than 3 V/m.

The GM-

400EF Infrared Thermometer is intended for use in an electromagnetic

environment in which radiated RF disturbances are controlled. The customer or the user of the GM-400EF Infrared Thermometer can help prevent electromagnetic interference by maintaining a minimum distance between portable and mobile RF communications equipment (transmitters) and the GM-400EF Infrared Thermometer as recommended below, according to the maximum output power of the communications equipment.

1. The advantages of infrared thermometer GM-400EF

Multiple use (measurement of forehead and ear temperature) Thanks to its dual-mode design, you are free to take body temperature by detecting the infrared heat given off by the forehead, which is from 32℃ to 42.2℃(from 89.6℉ to 107.9℉) , and by the eardrum, which is from 0℃ to 100.0℃（from 32.0℉ to 212.0℉）. The product consists of ABS plastics, temperature sensor, infrared temperature measuring element, microcomputer controlled circuit, LCD, backlight and buzzer.

Convenient for use

● Special ergonomic design to facilitate operation.

● No inconvenience would be caused to your daily life. It’s available for measurement when your child’s sleeping.

● It provides comfortable user experience (compared to anal thermometer for children) and rapid reading and simple operation (compared to mouth thermometer).

Memory recall

A maximum of 20 previous readings is available to help you track the changes of your body temperature.

Safe and hygienic

● Compared to mercury thermometer, there is no danger of breaking the glass or swallowing mercury.

● It is totally safe for children to use.

Fever warning

When the reading exceeds 37.5℃/99.5℉ , this product shall warn the user that he/she may have a fever by 7 rapid and short rings with LCD flicker. (For normal forehead temperature, the signal is long ring with LCD no flicker)

Extensive clinical data of hospital

The cooperation with designated hospitals is subjected to precise clinical verification, with the support of extensi ve clinical data and professional medical experts.

Application scope

The thermometer takes human body temperature for clinical or household use. It applies to all age groups and those who are suffering from a fever.

4.How to measure the forehead temperature

Position the probe just above the middle of the eyebrows, keep in contact, and press the head button momentarily to take a reading. The temperature will be displayed on the LCD screen. Once the back light turns off, you can retake the temperature if you wish. If you are not happy with the reading, simply repeat the process, ensuring you position the probe between the eyebrows.

Once the reading has been completed, remove the thermometer away from the forehead and observe the temperature.

5.How to measure the ear temperature

Take off the probe cover; insert the sensor into the ear canal. Then press the EAR button when the thermometer is off, the temperature reading is shown on the LCD display. You can take another measurement when the backlight is off.

Note:

Children under 1 year: Pull the ear straight back. Children aged 1 year to adult: Pull the ear up and back.

In order to avoid the inaccuracy: (1) Please make sure that there is no dirt on the temperature sensor. (2) Please make sure that the device is only used indoor, and there is no strong wind. (3) If the eyebrow area is covered with hair, sweat or dirt, please clean the area beforehand to improve the reading accuracy.. (4) Before you measure the ear temperature, please make sure that the ear is clean, with no earwax or obstructions. (5) Please make sure that there is no intense emotion and movement

Page 8

before measuring. (6) If GM-400EF is transferred from one condition to another with a different ambient temperature, it is suggested to leave it for more than 30 minutes, and please follow the rule (2). (7) If the tester moves from one condition to another with a different ambient temperature, it is suggested to have a rest for more than 10 minutes, and please follow the rule (2). (8) Do not hold GM-400EF for a long time as it is highly sensitive to heat. GM-400EF has undergone clinical tests, so it is safe and accurate when used in accordance with the operation manual.
