• Under 90-day-old infants
• People on steroids, antibiotics or antipyretics.

Cautions
• If your child is moving during the measurement it may result
in an inaccurate measurement due to the probe losing
contact with the skin please calm your child and try again.
• In forehead measurement, slowly move the product from
starting point to end for 3 seconds.
• The reliability of the measurement cannot be guaranteed if
the temperature is measured from parts of body that are not
recommended (anywhere other than the forehead or behind
the earlobe).
• Wait 30 seconds between repeat measurements.
• Similar to other thermometer, measurement error may occur
within a range of ± 0.2oC (± 0.4oF).
• Measurement should not be taken until completely relaxed at
normal room temperature.

• Please note that measurement may be incorrect after
exercising, bathing or getting wet in the rain.
• For accurate measurement, make sure forehead is clean and
free from makeup.
• Temperature between right and left forehead could be
different. Always take the temperature from the same side of
the forehead.
• Measurement may be incorrect when low battery( ) signal
is indicated. Replace the battery and re-measure.
• When measuring the temperature of a liquid (milk, water)
place the probe as close as possible to the liquid but ensure
that it is not immersed into the liquid as this may damage
your thermometer.
Principle Of Measurement
According to Clinical studies the temperature of the blood in a major artery will
reect an accurate body temperature
This Infared Forehead Thermometer is designed to measure the temperature of
the skin over the temporal artery, a major artery of the forehead
The NFS100 is easy and gentle to use it is non-invasive unlike other types of
thermometers for measuring rectal ,oral underarm and ear areas.
NFS100 ensures faster and easier measurement with a degree of clinical
accuracy and several user-friendly functions.

by the environment, time and activity. Refer to the table below to
nd out the normal body temperature ranges.
Normal temperature range at various parts of body
Armpit 34.7 ~ 37.3C (94.5 ~ 99.1F)
Mouth 35.5 ~ 37.5C (95.9 ~ 99.5F)
Rectum 36.6 ~ 38.0C (97.9 ~ 100.4F)
Ear 35.8 ~ 38.0C (96.4 ~ 100.4F)
Normal temperature range by age
0 ~ 2age 36.4 ~ 38.0C (94.5 ~ 100.4F)
3 ~ 10age 36.1 ~ 37.8C (97.0 ~ 100.0F)

NOTE
• Follow instructions 1 to 4 and 6 replace
only instruction 5 with instruction
below.
• Normally, the artery behind the earlobe does not provide
a sufficiently accurate reading. However, in this case due
to the effect of sweat lowering the temperature, taking the
temperature behind the earlobe may give a better result.
• Brush hair aside if covering the ear and wait for 30 seconds for
more accurate measurement. Then gently nestle the NFS100 on
neck directly behind earlobe and scan through the arrow direction
about 1~2cm (0.4~0.8inch) as illustrated for 3 seconds.
• You should slide the product until you hear a “beep” sound,
which indicates the end of the measurement, and then release it
from skin.
