Product Overview

Utilizing infrared technology, this thermometer takes tem­peratures in seconds by measuring heat generated by the
surface skin of the forehead or other objects. Advantages
include:

Ergonomic design and convenience

This is a “Non-Contact” medical thermometer. The Non­Contact design increases the ability to maintain a clean
environment. Readings are obtained by moving the ther­mometer close to the subject’s forehead or an object at the
distance indicated by the device.

Instant measurement and accuracy

Accurate temperature readings are provided within a few
seconds.

Easy-to-read display

Equipped with a large LCD (Liquid Crystal Display), results
are easy to read.

Battery-operated

When the device will not be used for a prolonged period of
time, remove all batteries from the device. Dispose of bat­teries in accordance with local environmental and institu­tional policies.

Battery Installation

Low battery warning:

When the “low battery warning” symbol appears on the
display, it means the batteries will need to be replaced soon
(see Figure 1).

The thermometer still operates properly until both symbols
of “Lo” and “ ” are shown on the display.

Battery installation:

1. Gently slide the battery cover downward to open it (see
Figure 3).

2. Remove the old batteries and discard them safely and
properly.

3. Insert two new AAA alkaline batteries, taking care to
insert them in the correct position as indicated.

4. Gently slide the battery cover back into position.

Measuring Temperature

Toggle between forehead scan mode and object scan mode by
pressing, holding momentarily, and releasing the MODE button.

Taking a temperature reading from the forehead:

• Press the POWER button and hold it

for one second to turn the device on.
Release it, and the system will power
up, which includes a self test. During
this period the device will momentarily
display all symbols on the LCD (see
Figure 4).

• Press and hold the SCAN button and aim the thermom­eter at the patient’s forehead, maintaining a distance
of 6 cm ~ 8 cm (2 3/8" ~ 3 1/8") between the Non-Touch
Thermometer and the patient’s forehead. You will hear
a continuous beeping sound, accompanied by a ash­ing LED. Release the SCAN button; you will hear a short
beep. Do not move the thermometer away from the fore­head until you hear the beep. Moving the thermometer
away from the forehead before hearing the beep may
result in an inaccurate temperature reading. Please note:
you will not hear a continuous beeping sound unless the
thermometer is the correct distance from the forehead
(see Figure 5). Results will display on the LCD.

Measuring Temperature

Taking a temperature reading from an object:

• Press the POWER button to turn the device on.

• Press the MODE button for one second. Ensure the unit

is in Object Scan mode (this is shown on the LCD).

• Press and hold the SCAN button, while aiming at the
desired object. Neither a beep sound nor a ashing LED

will occur while in Object Scan mode. For best results,
maintain a distance of 6 cm ~ 8 cm (2 3/8" ~ 3 1/8") be­tween the object and the Non-Touch Thermometer (see
Figure 6).

• Release the SCAN button and withdraw the thermometer.

Results will display on the LCD.

Measuring Temperature

• While in the forehead mode, a smil­ing face “ ” will display to indicate a
temperature lower than 38°C (100.4°F). If
the temperature is equal to or higher than
38°C (100.4°F), you will see a frowning
face “ ” on the display, accompanied
by one long beep followed by two short
beeps (see Figures 7 and 8).

• The LCD displays “Lo” or “Hi” when the

temperature measured is outside the ther­mometer’s sensory range (see Figures 9
and 10).

• “Err” appears if the operating temperature

is outside the permissible range of 16°C
to 35°C (60.8°F to 95°F) (see Figure 11).

• After one minute without use, the device

automatically powers itself off to conserve
battery life.

Switching Between Celsius and Fahrenheit

When the Non-Touch Thermometer is in “power on” status,
press and hold both the MEM and MODE buttons for 3
seconds to toggle between the two measurement standards
(F and C) (see Figures 12 and 13).

Memory Button Functions

1. Memory recall: In “Power on” status, press the Memory
button to recall the historical data.

2. Clear memory: In “Power on” status, press the Memory
button for 3 seconds to clear all data. The memory index
will be zero.
