The Ultra compact forehead thermometer is a high quality product incorporating the latest technology and tested in accordance with international standards. With its unique and clinically tested technology, the ultra compact forehead thermometer can provide a stable reading comparable with an oral temperature. The instrument performs a selftest every time it is switched on to always guarantee the pecified accuracy of measurements. The ultra compact forehead thermometer allows a simple and quick measurement of the body temperature. Please keep in mind that, - like any skin temperature -, the temperature at the forehead area might be lower then 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^ .

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.

A basic physiologic effect called vasoconstriction can occur in the early stages of fever, resulting in a cool skin effect, the recorded temperature using a forehead thermometer may be suspiciously low.

If the measurement result is not consistent with the patient's finding or suspiciously low, repeat the measurement every 15 minutes or double check the result by another core body temperature measurement, e.g. use an IR-eardrum thermometer or a rectal pen-type thermometer.

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

Due to the unique probe assembly construction, incorporating an advanced infrared sensor this device can offer accurate and reliable temperature measurements.

Gentle and Easy to Use

The ergonomic design enables simple and easy use of the thermometer.
- This thermometer can be used even on a sleeping child, thereby causing no interruption.
This thermometer is quick, therefore pleasant to use for children.

Auto-Display Memory

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

Multiple Reading Recalls

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

Safe and Hygienic

• No risk of broken glass or mercury ingestion.
• Completely safe for use on children.
• Cleaning of the probe can be done with an alcoholmoistened cotton tissue, making this thermometer completely hygienic for use by the whole family.

High Temperature Indication

10 short beeps and a red LCD backlight alert the patient that he/she may have a temperature above 37.5^

2. Important Safety Instructions

• This instrument may be used only for the purpose described in this booklet. The manufacturer cannot be held liable for damage caused by incorrect application.

• Never immerse this instrument into water or other liquids (not waterproof). For cleaning please follow the instructions in the «Cleaning and Disinfecting » section.

• Do not use the instrument if you think it is damaged or notice anything unusual.

• Never open the instrument.
• This instrument comprises sensitive components and must be treated with caution. Observe the storage and operating conditions described in the «Technical Specifications » section!
• Protect it from:

extreme temperatures
- impact and dropping
contamination and dust
direct sunlight
heat and cold

• If the instrument is not going to be used for a prolonged period, the batteries should be removed.
• Ensure that children do not use the instrument unsupervised; some parts are small enough to be swallowed.

WARNING: Use of this instrument is not intended as a substitute for consultation with your physician. This instrument is NOT waterproof! Please NEVER immerse into liquids.

3. How this Thermometer measures Temperature

The thermometer measures infrared energy radiated from the skin above of the eyebrow area and the surrounding tissue. This energy is collected through the lens and converted to a temperature value. Temperature readings obtained by scanning above the eyebrow area will provide the greatest accuracy.

4. Control Displays and Symbols

All segments displayed ⑥ : Press the «ON/OFF» button ④ to turn on the unit, all segments will be shown for 2 seconds.
Memory ⑦ : The last reading will be shown on the display automatically for 2 seconds.
- Ready for measurement (8): The unit is ready for measurement, the «°C» or «°F» icon will keep flashing.
- Measurement complete (9): The reading will be shown on the display 3 with the «°C» or «°F» icon flashing, the unit is ready again for the next measurement.
- Low battery indication ⑩: 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. Press 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 «O» or «O» icon is flashing, a beep sound is heard and the thermometer is ready for measurement (8).
4. Place the probe gently onto the area approximately 1cm above the center of the eyebrow. If the 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 beepsound will emit after 3 seconds to acknowledge the completion of measurement. If the probe movement is too slow to reach the temple area before the long beeb sound heard, repeat the measurement as above from point 4, but simply move the probe a little quicker this time.

6. Read the recorded temperature from the LCD display.

NOTE:

Patients and thermometer should stay in steady-state 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.
Patients should not drink, eat, or exercise before/whil taking the measurement.
Before placing the thermometer probe onto the measurement area, remove dirt, hair, or sweat.
- Don't move the measurement device from the measuring area before hearing the termination beep.
- Use an alcohol swab to carefully clean the probe and wait for 15 minutes before taking a measurement on another patient.
10 short beeps will sound and a red LCD backlight will illuminate when the temperature is higher than 37.5^ (99.5^) in order to alert the patient that he/she may have a temperature

above 37.5^

Always take the temperature in the same location, since the temperature readings may vary from different locations.
- In the following situations it is recommended that three temperatures in the same location be taken and the highest one taken as the reading:

1. If the measurement is surprisingly low.
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 obtainsconsistent readings.

6. Celsius to Fahrenheit switchable

This thermometer can display temperature measurements in either Fahrenheit or Celsius. To switch the display between ^ C and ^ F , simply turn OFF the unit, press and hold the «START» button (2) for 5 seconds; When you stop pressing the «START» button (2) after 5 seconds, the current measurement scale (« ^ » or « ^ » icon) will

be flashed on the display ① Toggle the measurement scale between ^ C and ^ F by pressing the «START» button ② again. When the measurement scale has been chosen, wait for 5 seconds and the unit will enter the ready for measuring mode automatically.

7. How to recall 12 readings in Memory Mode

This thermometer can recall the last 12 readings.

• Recall mode ⑫: Press the «START» button ② to enter. Recall mode when power is off. The memory icon «M» flashes.
• Memories ③: Press and release the «START» button ② consecutively to recall readings in succession, up to the last 12 readings.

Pressing and releasing the «START» button (2) after the last 12 readings have been recalled will resume the above sequence from reading 1.

8. Error Messages
