INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE

What you should know about using this thermometer

Before using a forehead thermometer the following should be noted:

- This thermometer is suitable for measuring the temperature of the body only on the forehead.

The physiological temperature ranges are:

- the forehead temperature, measured with a forehead thermometer: 35.8 to 37.6°C

Tip: Temperatures measured with different thermometers cannot be compared with one another. Tell your doctor or take into account when diagnosing yourself what thermometer you used in what part of the body to measure the temperature.

• The temperature of a healthy person is also influenced by the following factors:
• The person's individual metabolism.
• Age (body temperature is higher in babies and small children and falls with increasing age. Greater temperature fluctuations occur in

children faster and more often.)

• Clothing.
• The outside temperature.
• The time of day (Body temperature is lower in the morning and rises as the day goes on.)
• Preceding physical and, to a lesser extent, mental activity.

Tip: Measuring the temperature gives a figure that provides information about a person's current temperature. If you are unsure about interpreting the results or if the result is abnormal (e.g. fever), you should consult your family doctor. This also applies to small changes in temperature, if there are other symptoms of illness, such as agitation, severe sweating, flushed skin, high pulse rate, tendency to collapse etc.

Functions

This infrared thermometer is for measuring

• temperature at a person's forehead,
• surface temperature of objects and liquids,
• ambient temperatures.

The thermometer also offers additional functionalities:

• 9 memory locations for simple plotting of changes in temperature,
• date and time, also with all stored temperatures measured,
• optical and acoustic fever alarm at temperatures over 37,5°C,
• switchable to °C and °F.

Operation

Remove the protective cap and switch on the thermometer with the " button. After a short self-test and two short beep tones, the thermometer is ready for forehead temperature measurement.

Setting time and date

With the thermometer switched on, hold the "①" button depressed for 5 seconds. As soon as the "SET" symbol appears in the display, you can use the "SCAN" button to set in turn the 12 or 24 hour mode, hour, minute, year, month and day ("24" appears in the display for the 24-hour mode). Confirm the values set in each case with the "②" button.

Batteries

The type 3V CR2032 battery is already fitted and depending on usage has a life of around 3000 measurements. When the battery gets weak, the battery warning symbol appears. It is still possible to measure the temperature. Battery must be replaced. When the battery symbol flashes the battery must be exchanged by sliding the battery compartment cover off to the rear. Remove the spent battery as shown in the adjacent picture. Insert a new battery of the same type with the positive pole at the top. Close the battery compartment cover again.

Used batteries should not go into domestic refuse. You are legally obliged to dispose of the batteries correctly. Dispose of them through your electrical dealer or local recycling centre.

Note: you will find these symbols on batteries containing toxic substances: Pb = battery contains lead, Cd = battery contains cadmium, Hg = battery contains mercury. The battery in this device does not contain toxic substances.

During use

Always ensure that the sensor is clean and undamaged. Switch on the thermometer with the "button."

Forehead measurement

After a short self-test and two short beeps, the thermometer is ready for measuring the temperature at the forehead/temple. The infrared thermometer is in 'forehead thermometer'. This is indicated by the symbol 😊

Note that

• the thermometer must have been at least 30 minutes in the room in which the measurement is made,
• the measuring result may be falsified by physical activity, fundamentally increased sweat formation on the forehead, consumption of vasoconstrictive medications and skin irritations.
• the forehead or temple must be free of sweat and cosmetics.

Apply the thermometer to the left or right tempe and press the "SCAN" button. Move the thermometer to and over the temple.

During the measurement you can hear short beeps signalling that the thermometer has found a new maximum temperature. The end of the measuring time is signalled with a long beep. Release the "SCAN" button. You can now read off the temperature measured. The LED is also illuminated according to the test result: a green LED indicates that body temperature is within the normal range, but a red LED lights up with measured values over 37,5°C, i.e. it is a fever alarm.

The measurement normally takes from 5 to 8 seconds, but can take up to 30 seconds.

The thermometer signals with two short beeps and a no longer flashing forehead symbol that the thermometer is ready for a new measurement.

Saving the temperatures measured

The temperature last measured, i.e. only the last temperature of a series measured, is saved automatically as soon as the thermometer is switched off. There are 9 memory locations available for this.

You can call up the last temperature measured with the “☐” button. The date and time are also shown. The LED dous not support any requests for stored measured values. If you continue to hold down the “☐” button, you will enter a special measuring mode, in which the thermometer will not make a correct measurement. In this event, allow the thermometer to switch off automatically after about 1 minute and then switch on again.

Surface temperatures

When you want to measure surface temperatures with this infrared thermometer, you must change to the "SCAN" mode. With the thermometer switched on (standard forehead thermometer mode) keep ther "☐" button depressed and at the same time press the "SCAN" button. This mode is indicated with the 🔔 symbol. If you keep the "SCAN" button depressed, the surface temperature measured is continuously displayed. You can apply the sensor tip directly to the surface to be measured or measure at close range (do not immerse in liquids). Note that the temperature displayed is the surface temperature measured but not adjusted. It cannot be compared with the forehead temperature.

Ambient temperature

After the measurement, the thermometer automatically switches to standby mode after about 1 minute, but only if the time has been set. This mode is identified by the 🔔 symbol and the ambient temperature is shown continuously. If you want to use the thermometer to measure the ambient temperature, it should be positioned so that the measurement is not influenced by solar radiation or other influences such as cold draughts from air-conditioning systems. In addition to the ambient temperature, which is updated once every minute, the date and time are displayed alternately.

Changing the temperature unit

You can display the temperature in degrees Celsius (°C) or degrees Fahrenheit (°F). With the thermometer switched off or in standby mode, select the unit by holding down the "SCAN" button and at the same time pressing the "①" button. Keep the two buttons depressed until the temperature unit changes. All stored temperatures are displayed in the temperature unit.

CARE & CLEANING

Clean the sensor tip after every use. Use a clean cloth or cotton bud that can be moistened with disinfectant, alcohol or warm water.

To clean the entire device, use a soft cloth slightly moistened with a mild soapy solution. Water must never get into the device. If water gets into the

device, remove the battery immediately. Only use the device again when it is completely dry. Do not use any harsh cleaning agents.

Never immerse the device in water. Always store the thermometer with the cap on in order to protect the sensor.

The device must not be stored or used at too high or low a temperature or humidity (see technical specifications), in sunlight, in association with an

electrical current or in dusty locations. Otherwise, inaccuracies can occur. If prolonged storage is intended, you should remove the battery.
