HoMedics No-Touch Thermometer

How does this product work?

The HoMedics No-Touch thermometer is an electronic device designed to measure temperature of the body at the forehead. The temperature displayed represents measured forehead temperature converted to the more familiar oral equivalent. This is performed by using a mathematical adjustment of forehead temperature. This reading will not necessarily be the same as a temperature measured orally at that same time.

When consulting a physician, it is important to communicate that the temperature reading was taken from the forehead and converted to an oral equivalent.

The HoMedics No Touch Thermometer is also designed to measure things other than human temperature such as bath water, liquids and food. See page 15 for more information on measuring the temperature of objects.

What is normal body temperature? What is a fever?

Normal body temperature is a range that varies from person to person, and throughout the day. The average normal body temperature is 98.6°F (37°C). Fever is defined as a body temperature elevated over an individual’s normal body temperature. It is important to determine each person’s normal body temperature in order to properly assess whether or not a fever is actually present. This range can easily be determined by tracking temperature on a consistent basis by measuring at the same time each day.

This thermometer converts the forehead temperature to an oral equivalent and meets industry standards regarding temperature accuracy. For temperature between 98.6° –

102.2°F (36.0° – 39.0°C) it is accurate to ± 0.4°F (±0.2°C).*

Inserting and replacing batteries

1) Remove battery cover.

2) Remove old batteries.

3) Insert 2 AAA batteries, taking care to align polarities properly.

4) Replace battery cover.

Until a measurement is taken, the thermometer will display a default temperature of “00” after battery power is restored. When the low battery symbol appears on the display the battery should be replaced. When the low battery symbol appears with the “Lo” symbol, the battery must be replaced in order for the ear thermometer to function (fig 4).

Figure 4

Note: Do not discard used batteries in trash. Please turn in at an official collection point. If thermometer will not be used for an extended period of time (three months or more), remove battery to prevent damage to the thermometer from possible battery leakage.

Changing Temperature Scale Between Celsius and Fahrenheit

When unit is turned on press and hold the MEM and MODE buttons for 3 seconds. When scale is changed, the thermometer will beep once and the °C or °F will appear on the screen.

Using Night Mode

Night mode is a unique feature that allows a temperature reading to be taken in the dark. Night mode activates an LED flashlight to aid in aiming the thermometer at the subject’s forehead and a display that illuminates to enable you to view readings in the dark. Additionally, audio “beeps” are disabled in Night Mode.

To turn night mode on/off: When unit is on, press the button. The Night Mode symbol will appear on the screen. To turn Night Mode off, press the button. The feature will be turned off and the Night Mode symbol will no longer appear on the display.

Night Mode is not recommended for general use in order to preserve battery life. Modes can be changed at any time before or after measurement. Do not change modes during measurement as the accuracy of the reading may be affected.

Changing measurement mode from PERSON to OBJECT:

For measuring the temperature of a person, the thermometer must be in PERSON mode. Press and release the MODE button until you see the word “PERSON” on the display. If you would like to measure an object, press and release the MODE button until you see the word “OBJECT” on the display.

To use the HoMedics No-Touch Thermometer properly, please read the following:

1)The forehead of the person should be clean and dry. Oils, cosmetics and perspiration can cause the thermometer to measure a lower than actual temperature.

2)The person should be calm and sitting or standing still when temperature is measured. Allow the person to sit and rest for 30 minutes after the following activities and before taking a temperature measurement:

•The person has exercised or exerted him/herself

•The person has been exposed to extreme cold or heat

•The person has had a cold or hot compress on forehead

•The person has been wearing a hat or scarf

•The person has been engaging in activities that may affect the normal temperature of the forehead such as showering, drying hair, etc.

3)The lens of the HoMedics No-Touch Thermometer should be clean and dry. Clean with a cotton swab dipped in rubbing alcohol. Squeeze swab to remove excess liquid. Excess moisture could damage the thermometer.

4)The temperature measurement should be taken in a draft free room with temperature between 61°F— 95°F (16°C — 35°C).

5) The thermometer should not come in direct contact with any part of the subject’s body.

6) The temperature measurement should be taken away from electromagnetic fields emitted by cell or cordless phones.

How to take a temperature reading of a person:

1) Turn unit on by sliding cover into “on” position.

2) Select PERSON mode (if not already in PERSON mode), by pressing MODE button.

3) Press and hold “SCAN” button.

4) Move thermometer into position, pointing at the center of the forehead.

• Light around “SCAN” button will flash until unit is in proper position from person’s forehead.

• Light will be on and not flashing when positioned properly.

5) Release “SCAN” button. Do not move thermometer until the temperature appears on display.

6) Turn thermometer off by sliding cover into “off” position or thermometer will enter sleep mode after 1 minute. To “wake” thermometer press SCAN button.

Note: Wait 5 seconds between readings.

Fever Alarm

The Fever Alarm is a unique feature that alerts the user anytime a temperature reading is 100°F (37.8°C) or greater with a visual notice on the display and a triple beep audio alert (visual alert only in memory mode or night mode). For readings at or above this temperature it is LIKELY a fever is present.

Note: A temperature reading below 100°F (37.8°C) does not mean that a fever is not present. Likewise, a temperature greater than or equal to 100°F (37.8°C) does not guarantee the presence of a fever.

This product is not intended for substitution of consultation with a physician. Contact your physician if any one of the following conditions is present: Vomiting, diarrhea, change in breathing activity or appetite, irritability, lethargy, or unusual sleepiness.
