The Microlife Forehead Thermometer is a hig h quality
product incorporating the latest technolog y and tested in
accordance with international standards. With its unique
and clinically tested technology, the Microlife Forehead
Thermometer can provide a stable reading com parable
with an oral temperature. The i nstrument performs a self­test every time it is switched on to always guara ntee the
specified accuracy of measurements.

The Microlife Forehead Thermometer allow s a simple and
quick measurement of the body temperature. P lease keep
in mind that – like any skin temperature – the temperature
at the forehead area might be l ower than the core body
temperature. Body temperature varies depending on the
part of the body where it is measured. The variation can be
between 0.2 - 1 °C.

Temperatures measured with diff erent thermometers
cannot be compared with one anothe r. So, when taking
your own temperature, advise your doctor which thermom­eter was used and in which part of the body.

A basic physiological effect called vasoconstriction can
occur in the early stages of fever, resulting in a cool skin

1. The Advantages of this Thermometer

Measurement in a matter of seconds

The innovative infrared technology allows measurement
simply by scanning the eyebrow area. After a scanning time
of 3 seconds the measurement will be displayed on the LCD.

Accurate and reliable

The unique probe assembly construction, incor porating an
advanced infrared sensor, ensures that each measurement
is accurate and reliable.

Gentle and Easy to Use

• The ergonomic design enables simple and easy use of
the thermometer.

• Thi s thermometer can even be used on a sleeping child,
thereby causing no disruption.

• Thi s thermometer is quick, therefore child-friendly.

Auto-Display Memory

The last reading is automatically displayed for 2 seconds
when the unit is switched ON.

Multiple Reading Recall

Users will be able to recall the last 12 readings when
entering the recall mode, enabling efficient tracking of
temperature variations.

Safe and Hygienic

WARNING: Use of this instrument is not intended



as a substitute for consultation with your physician.
This instrument is NOT waterproof so do not
immerse in liquids.

3. How this Thermometer measures Temper-

ature

This thermometer measures infr ared energy radiated from
the skin above the eyebrow area and the surrounding
tissue. This energy is collected through the le ns and
converted to a temperature value.

Temperature readings obtained by sca nning above the
eyebrow area will provide the greatest accuracy.

4. Control Displays and Symbols

• All segments displayed 6: Press th e ON/OFF button
4 to turn on the unit; all segments will be shown for

2 seconds.

• Memory 7: The last reading will automatically be
shown on the display for 2 seconds.

• Ready for measurement 8: When the unit is ready for
measurement, the «°C» or «°F» icon will keep flashing .

• Measurement complete 9: Th e reading will be
shown on the display 3 with the «°C» or «°F» icon; the
unit is ready for the next measurement, when the «°C»
or «°F» icon is flashing again.

• Low battery indication AT: When the unit is turned on,
the battery icon will keep flashing to remind the user to
replace the battery.

5. Directions for Use

1. Pres s the ON/OFF button 4. The display 3 is activated
to show all segments for 2 seconds.

2.

The last measurement reading will be shown on the
display automatically for 2 seconds with the «M» icon7.

3. When the «°C» or «°F » icon is flashing, a beep sound is
heard and the thermometer is r eady for measurement 8.

4. Place the prob e gently onto the area approximately 1cm
above the center of the eyebrow. If t he eyebrow area is
covered with hair, sweat or dirt, please remove the
obstacle beforehand to improve the reading accuracy.

5. Press the START button once and release it. Start to
move the instrument steadily from 1 cm above the center
of the eyebrow to the temple area. A long beep sound
will emit after 3 seconds to acknowledge the completion
of measurement. If the probe movement is too slow to
reach the temple area before t he long beep sound is
heard, repeat the measurement as described above, bu t
simply move the probe a little quicker this time.

6. Read the recorded te mperature from the LCD display.

NOTE:

)

• Patients and thermometer should stay in steady­state room condition for at least 30 minutes.

• Don' t take a measurement while or immediately after
nursing a baby.

• Don' t use the forehead thermometer in high humidity
environments.

• Pati ents should not drink, eat, or exercise before/while
taking the measurement.

• Befor e placing the thermometer probe onto the
measurement area, remove dirt, h air, or sweat.

• Don' t move the measurement device from the measuring
area before hearing the terminatio n beep.

• Use an alcohol swab to carefully clean the probe and
wait for 15 minutes before taking a measurement on
another patient.

• 10 short bee ps and a red LCD backlight alert the patient
that he/she may have a temperature equal to or higher
than 37.5 °C.

• Always take the temperature in the same location, since
temperature readings may vary according to location.

• In t he following situations it is recommended that three
temperatures in the same area be taken and the highest
one taken as the reading:

1. New born infants in the first 100 days.

2. Children under three years of age with a compromised

immune system and for whom the presence or
absence of fever is critical.

3. When the user is learning how to use the thermometer

for the first time until he/she has familiarized himself/
herself with the instrument and obtains consistent
readings.

4. If the measurement is surprisingly low.

6. Changing between Celsius and Fahrenheit

This thermometer can display temperature measurements in
either Fahrenheit or Celsius. To switch the display between
°C and °F, simply turn OFF the unit,
START button 2 for 5 seconds; after 5 seconds, the current
measurement scale («°C» or «°F» icon) will be flashing on the
display AK. Change the measurement scale between °C and
°F by pressing the START button 2. When the measurement
scale has been chosen, wait for 5 seconds and the unit will
automatically enter the «ready for measuring» mode.

Ce thermomètre frontal Mi crolife est un produit de haute
qualité utilisant la technologie la plus récente et testé
selon les normes internationales. Grâce à sa technologie
unique en son genre qui a fait l'o bjet de tests cliniques, le
thermomètre frontal Microlife assure une lecture stable
comparable à une prise de température buccale. L'appareil
effectue un autocontrôle à chaque mise en ma rche pour
toujours garantir des mesures conformes à la précision
annoncée.

Le thermomètre frontal Microlife permet une mesure
simple et rapide de la températ ure corporelle. Veuillez
cependant garder à l'esprit que la température frontale –
comme toute température cutanée – peut êt re inférieure à
la température corporelle de base. La température corpo­relle dépend de la partie du corps utilisée pour la mesure.
La variation peut aller de 0,2 à 1 °C.

Les températures mesurées avec des thermomètre s diffé­rents ne sont pas comparables. Il est recomman dé de
toujours indiquer à votre médecin lors de la consultation
quel type de thermomètre a été utilisé et sur quelle partie
du corps.

Un phénomène physiologique de base appelé vaso constric­tion est susceptible de se produire au déb ut de l'état
fébrile. Il se caractérise par une peau relativement froide
qui peut se traduire par une le cture anormalement basse en
cas d'utilisation d'un thermomètre front al.

Si le relevé temporal ne concorde pas avec l'état du patient
ou est anormalement bas, réeffe ctuez la mesure toutes les
15 minutes ou contrôlez-la en prenant la température
corporelle de base, par ex. au moyen d'un thermomètre
tympanique IR ou d'un thermomètre stylo re ctal.
