WARNING

WARNINGS ARE IDENTIFIED BY THE WARNING SYMBOL SHOWN ABOVE.

•The Non-Contact Infrared Body Thermometer is to be operated by consumers in the home setting and primary care setting as a screening tool. This manual, accessories, direction for use, all precautionary information and speciﬁcations should be read before use.

•This product is designed to measure human body temperature on the forehead. DO NOT use it on any other body part.

•This product is intended in the home setting and primary care setting as a screening tool.

•DO NOT use the thermometer if it malfunctions or has been damaged in any matter.

•When the ambient temperature of the thermometer changes too much, such as moving the thermometer from one place of lower temperature to another place of higher temperature, allow the thermometer to remain in a room for 30 minutes where the temperature is between 59°F - 95°F (15°C - 35°C).

•Remove primary batteries if equipment is not likely to be used for a long time.

•This product is not waterproof. Do not immerse in water or other liquid for cleaning and disinfection. Please follow the “Care and Storage” section requirements.

•DO NOT touch the sensor of infrared detection with your ﬁngers.

•If a cold compress is used on the forehead when a fever is present or when other measures are used to cool down, the temperature data will be low and will not be accurate when measuring the body temperature.

•When measuring the human forehead temperature, please select “body” mode. For measuring other objects, liquids, food and other temperatures, please select “surface” mode.

•This product must be operated in a stable environment. Refer to the “Care and Storage” section.

•DO NOT use near strong electrostatic or magnetic ﬁelds, thus avoiding the impact on the accuracy of the measurement data.

•DO NOT mix old and new batteries to avoid damage to the product.

•The accuracy of the measurement may be affected when the forehead is covered by hair, perspiration, cap or a scarf.

•Measurement results are for reference only. Contact your physician if you have or suspect you have a medical problem.

The device should be kept out of the reach of children and pets. When not in use, store the device in a dry room and protect it against extreme moisture, heat, lint, dust and direct sunlight. Never place any heavy objects on top of the thermometer.

Description of Non-Contact Infrared Body Thermometer

•Device principle and introduction

The non-contact thermometer is a hand-held, reusable, battery operated device, which can measure human body temperature on the forehead.

The operation principle is based on Infrared Sensor technology. The IR sensor can output different signals when measuring different object temperature or in different ambient temperature, and the ASIC can turn the signal from IR Sensor to a digital value and display it on the LCD.
