Suitable ambient temperature is importa nt for the baby and patient, the thermometer always help you
recognize the room temperature.
Æ Setting “Real time clock” first to enable this function. After power off, room temperature will be shown

on the screen with icon.
Æ Please see the “Use of the thermometer” section to learn how to get the correct room temperature.
The thermometer has been designed for practical use. It’s not meant to replace a visit to the doctor.
Please also remember to compare the measurement result to your regular body temperature. Please

consult with doctor if you have health concerns.

Æ Please see the “Use of the thermometer” section to learn how to measure the body temperature.
The surface mode shows the actual, una djusted surface temperatures, which is different from the body
temperature. It can help you to monitor if t he object temperature is suitable for the baby or patie nt, for
example the baby’s milk.
Æ Please see the “Use of the thermometer” section to learn how to measure the object temperature.

The thermometer built the stopwatch fu nction to help you to mo nitor the heartbeat
of the healthy indexes for people.
Æ Please see the “Use of the Stopwatch” section to learn how to measure the heartbeat result.

Before the measurement, please make sure the selected

button accords with the measured position.

Fever Alarm

If thermometer detects a body temperatur e ≧37.5°C, there will be a long beep so und followed by three
short beep sound to warn the user for potential fever.

Under ear or forehead mode, if thermometer detects a body temperature< 37.5°C, there will b e " Green"

Zone Indicator

light signal; if temperature > = 37.5°C and < 38.0°C, there will be" Yellow" light signal; if temperature
> =38.0°C, there will be" Red" light signal.

There are total 9 sets memories for body measur ement. Each memory also records the measurement

Real time clock setting

1. Power on: Press the “ON/MEM” button. The thermometer is ready for use after hearing two beep sounds.

2. Press and hold the “ON/MEM” button for 5sec. When you see the Set icon starts flashing, it indicates that you are in the setting screen.(see the following figure.)

3. Press the “FOREHEAD” button to make the “24” icon flash. This indicates that you are in the 12/24-hour setting screen. Press the “FOREHEAD” button to set
12/24-hour Format from “24”(24-hour) to “12”(12-hour).

4. Press “ON/MEM” button to move the flashing in the sequence shown below to select our settings:

hourÆ minutesÆyearÆ monthÆdayÆleave the setting screen.

5. While the hour, minutes, year, month, day setting is flashing, use “FOREHEAD” button to change it.

Use of the thermometer

1. Always make sure the probe is clean, and without damage.

2. Power on: Press “ON/MEM” button.(see figure 1)

3. Mode selection:

3.1 Ear mode :Press the “Ear” button,you can get the body temperature by ear measurement after

hearing two beep sounds. (see figure 1)

Figure 1 Figure2 Figure 3 Figure 4

3.2 Forehead mode: Press the “FOREHEAD” button,you can get the body temperature by forehead measurement after hearing two beep sounds. (see figure 2)

3.3 Surface mode: Press and hold the “ON/MEM” button, and press the “FOREHEAD” button one

time, you can see the

icon on your LCD display(see figure 3). In this mode,

press the “FOREHEAD” button to get the target surface temperature.

3.4 Stopwatch: Press and hold the “ON/MEM” button, and press the “FOREHEAD” button twice,
you can see the

icon on your LCD display(see figure 4). In this mode, press the

“FOREHEAD” button to count by 0.01sec to 3 minutes.

4. Temperature taking:

4.1 Ear temperature measuring, points for attention:

Remarks: a. It is recommended that you measure 3 times with the same ear. If the 3 measurements are different, select the highest temperature.

b. To avoid the risk of cross contamination, please clean the probe according to “

Care and cleaning” section after each use.

c. The different temperature varies in healthy persons between different parts of t he body can be between 0.2~1°C

d. Clinical repeatability: 0.19°C (<1 year old), 0.18°C (1~5 years old), 0.18°C (>5 years old)

4.1.1 Gently pull the ear back to straig hten the ear ca nal (Fig.4. 1.1) and snugly position the prob e int o the ear c anal, a iming towards
the membrane of the eardrum to obtain an accurate reading (Fig.4.1.2).

4.1.2 Press and hold the “Ear” button until you hear a beep sound. Remove the probe from ear and read the temperature

measurement on the LCD.

4.2 Forehead temperature measuring, points for attention:

Remarks: a. Forehead temperature is displayed in oral mode. This mode converts the forehead temperature to display its “oral-equivalent” Value.

b. Before the measurement, please stay in a stable environment for 5mins and avoid exercise, bath for 30mins.
c. Remember to keep the temple area clean and away from sweat, cosmetics and scar while taking temperature.

4.2.1 The temporal artery is connected to the heart via the carotid artery. It is designed to measure the skin surface around
temporal artery, a major artery of the head (Fig.4.2.1).

4.2.2 Attach the thermometer to the required measurement location on the forehead (Fig. 4.2.2). (You can choose left or

Figure 4.2.3 Figure 4.2.2 Figure 4.2.1

right temple.)

4.2.3 Press the “FOREHEAD ” button, and gently scan around the temple area (Fig. 4.2.3). While scanning, you will hear a
beep sound, which indicates you the newest measurement is taking place. Measurement has been completed after
two short beeps are heard and the forehead icon stops flashing. The time consuming for measurement might be
between 5~8 sec (up to 30sec). It depends on how much time the device needs to get the correct forehead
temperature.

4.3 Measuring temperature under surface mode:

4.3.1 When you press the “FOREHEAD” button, you will get the real time temperature immediately. If you press and hold the “FOREHEAD” button, the reading of
measurement will be continuous updated.

4.3.2 Applications include temperature measurements for Water, Milk, Cloth, Skin or other object.

* Note: This mode shows the actual, unadjusted surface temperatures, which is different from the body temperature.

4.4 Get the room temperature

4.4.1 Setting “Real time clock” first to enable this function. After power off, room temperature will be shown on the screen with

icon.

4.4.2 For room temperature, the thermometer should be placed on the table and avoid the direct sunshine or air conditioner flow on.

4.4.3 The room temperature can be reference after 15min later.

5. After measurement:

5.1 Power off: Device will automatically shut off if left idle for more than 1 minute to extend battery life. The LCD will only show the date, time and room temperature.

5.2 Clean the probe after each use to ensure an accurate reading and avoid cross contamination. (See the section of Care and Cleaning for details.)

5.3 Remember to put on the Probe Cap when not in use.

Use of the Stopwatch

1. Press and hold the “ON/MEM” button, and press the “FOREHEAD” button twice for “stopwatch” mode.

2. For start or stop counting, press the “FOREHEAD” button; for reset counting, press the “ON/MEM” button.

3. Press and hold the “ON/MEM” button, and press the “FOREHEAD” button to enter the forehead mode.

4. How to measure the heartbeat? If you count out the number of beating is 18 in 15sec, then you can calculate the heartbeat of patient is 72 times in 1min.

Important Notes

The probe is the most delicate part of the thermometer. Use with care when cleaning the lens to avoid damage.

a. After the measurement, please use the cotton swab with the Alcohol (70% concentration) to clean the inside of the probe,

including lens and metal parts.
b. Allow the probe to fully dry for at least 1 minute.
c.

Storage temperature range: It should be stored at room temperature between -20~+50°C,

Care and cleaning

RH≦85%

d .Keep the unit dry and away from any liquids and direct sunlight.
e. The Probe should not be submerged into liquids.

* Note: Please check the device if damaged once it falls. If you can’t make sure of it ,please send the
complete device to the nearest retailer for recalibration.

Holding the thermometer too long may cause a higher ambient temperature reading of the probe.

This could make the body temperature measurement lower than usual.
