Dear NC100 Owner：

Thank you for purchasing the NC100 Bluetooth Non-Contact Infrared Thermometer. Please read this instruction manual rst so you can use this thermometer safely and correctly. Please keep this instruction manual for future reference. This innovative medical device uses advanced infrared (IR) technology to measure temperature instantly and accurately on the forehead or object.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS READ BEFORE USE

The following basic safety precautions should always be taken.

1. Close supervision is necessary when the thermometer is used by,

on, or near children, handicapped persons or invalids.

2. Use the thermometer only for the intended use described in this

BEFORE YOU BEGIN

Cautions and Warnings

˙As with any thermometer, proper technique is crucial to

obtaining accurate temperature readings. Please read this manual thoroughly and carefully before using.

˙Always operate the thermometer in an operating temperature

range 10°C to 40°C (50°F to 104°F), and relative humidity less than 80%.

˙Always store the thermometer in a cool and dry place -25°C to

55°C (-13°F to 131°F) and relative humidity less than 95%.

˙Avoid direct sunlight. ˙Avoid dropping the thermometer, if it happens and you think

the thermometer may be damaged, please contact customer services immediately.

˙Do not touch the lens. ˙Do not disassemble the thermometer. ˙Basic safety precautions should always be observed, especially

when the thermometer is used on or near children and disabled persons.

˙This thermometer is not intended to substitute for a consulta-

tion with your physician.

˙This thermometer and the subject must remain in a stable

environment for at least 30 minutes before measuring the temperature.

˙When the measured temperature falls within the fever tempera-

ture range of ≥37.8°C (100°F) and <43°C (109.4°F), as indicated by the red LCD display, please consult with your physician immediately.

This thermometer is clinically proven to produce accurate temperature measurements. However, please be advised that the accuracy cannot be ensured when the thermometer is not clean. Check that the probe is clean before taking a measurement.

Intended Use

How Does It Work

Highlighted Features

NC100 Bluetooth Non-Contact Infrared Thermometer is intended for the intermittent measurement and monitoring of human body temperature from forehead measurement at home. A control measurement using a conventional thermometer is recommended in the following cases:

1. If the reading is surprisingly low,

2. For new-born infants up to 100 days old,

3. For children under three years of age who have a weakened immune system or who react unusually in the presence or absence of fever.

The thermometer measures the infrared heat generated by the surface of the skin over the vessel and its surrounding tissue. The thermometer then converts it into a temperature value.

˙Non-contact measurement that does not require probe cover,

thereby saving cost of replacement.

˙Automatically power o if left idle for 60 seconds. ˙Memory function allows you to recall previous forehead results

up to 32 previous results.

˙Easy to read LCD with blue and red backlight in a dark environ-

ment.

˙Color visible indication of alarm (red) and measurement in

progress (blue).

˙Measurement within 5 cm.

NOTE:

The thermometer does not emit any infrared signal.

Replacing the Battery

The thermometer comes with two 1.5 V AAA alkaline batteries. The meter will display " " to alert you when the meter power is getting low. Please follow the steps below to replace new batteries immediately.

NOTE:

1. Although the thermometer works when " " appears, we still recommend that you change the batteries to obtain an accurate result.

2. Remove the batteries if planned to store for a long period of time.

3. The batteries should be kept away out of child’s reach. If they are swallowed, promptly see a doctor for help.

Press Measure / Memory Button to toggle between °C or °F. Press Setting Button to exit.

Press Power button to turn ON the meter. Press Setting Button for 3 seconds to enter the screen.

Setting the Thermometer

Page 10

The temperature on the forehead and temple area diers from the internal temperature, which is taken orally or rectally. Vasoconstriction, an eect which constricts the blood vessels and cools the skin, can occur during the early stages of a fever. In this case, the temperature measured by the NC100 Bluetooth Non-Contact Infrared Thermometer may be unusually low. If the measurement therefore does not match the patient’s own perception or is unusually low, repeat the measurement every 15 minutes. As a reference, you can also measure the internal body temperature using a conventional oral or rectal thermometer.

Body temperature can vary from one individual/ person to next. It also varies by location on the body and time of day. Below shows the statistical normal ranges from dierent sites. Please keep in mind that temperatures measured from dierent sites, even at the same time, should not be directly compared. Fever indicates that the body temperature is higher than normal. This symptom may be caused by infection, overdressing or immunization. Some people may not experience fever even when they are ill. These include, but are not limited to, infants younger than 3 months old, persons with compromised immune systems, persons taking antibiotics, steroids or antipyretics (aspirin, ibuprofen, acetaminophen), or persons with certain chronic illnesses. Please consult your physician when you feel ill even if you do not have fever.

Using the Device

Press Power Button to turn on the meter.

When °C or °F blinks, temperature can be measured.

Press Setting Button to select Body Mode.

If you started with Object Mode.

Move the probe close to the forehead.

Make sure the probe is at , with 5 10 cm distance from the center of forehead.

Press Measure/ Memory Button to read the result.

The meter will take measurement automatically. The reading is shown together with blue backlight and 1 long beep.

Next Reading.

About 3 seconds afterwards (when a short beep is heard), °C or °F blinks again, and next temperature measurement can be taken.

PERFORM THE TEST

Page 12

NOTE:

˙As the forehead measurement temperature is likely to be aected

by sweat, oil and the surroundings, the reading shall be taken as a

reference only.

˙If the probe is placed at an angle close to the forehead measure-

ment, the reading will be aected by surrounding temperature.

Babies’ skin reacts very quickly to the ambient temperature.

Therefore, do not take their temperature with the NC100

thermometer during or after breastfeeding, because the skin

temperature may then be lower than the internal body

temperature.

˙If the reading is < 32°C (89.6°F), the display will show together with

red backlight and two short beeps.

˙If the reading is ≥ 37.8 °C (100°F) and < 43°C (109.4°F), the display

will show together with red backlight and four short beeps.

˙The thermometer will automatically turn o if left idle for 60

seconds.
