1. Function: Reading and display of heart rate.

3. To monitor your heart rate:

If you want to monitor your heart rate, please press [Heart rate] button, the device makes a “DI” sound, the LCD will display as in gure 2 and the device starts to read your heart rate. Meanwhile place your nger on the [Heart rate] key as in gure 1. When the device detects the heart rate, the symbol [ ] will ash to the beat of your heart. When the reading is complete (about 15 seconds ), you will hear a “DI” sound and the LCD will display your heart rate as in gure 3. Caution:

1. Do not keep the [Heart rate] button pressed down when the device is

taking a reading of your heart rate.

2. If the symbol [ ] does not ash, please make sure your nger is placed

correctly and you are pressing down hard enough. Excessive pressure will30 obstruct the local blood circulation and the device will not be able to detect the heart rate.

3. The maximum reading time is 15 seconds.

4. Avoid swimming or intense physical exercise at least half an hour before

measuring heart rate.

5. Do not measure heart rate if your hand is shaking.

6. You must put your nger on the heart rate button (5) without moving it.

7. Whilst measuring, do not talk or move.

8. If the measurement is incorrect, you may take it again. However, you must

wait 5 to 15 minutes before taking the next measurement.

9. Make sure you use the same nger if you decide to repeat the heart rate

measurement so that you can compare the results.

10. The results obtained after measuring heart rate must only be regarded

as a reference. They cannot be used as the basis for carrying out clinical diagnoses or evaluations. It is dangerous to draw conclusions or start treatments based on these results. Please consult your doctor and follow his indications if you don’t feel well.

1. Replace any low-voltage battery to ensure full power supply.

2. For a correct reading, the thermometer must be in the same environment

30 minutes before the reading takes place.

3. Unforeseen uctuations in ambient temperature are likely to affect the

accuracy of the measurement. When the temperature of the measurement site is different from that of the area where the thermometer was located, or when attempting to take the temperature, brake an air conditioner, it is impossible to obtain reliable results.

4. The reading must be taken in a clean ear to assure maximum accuracy.

5.2. HOW TO TAKE A READING

1. To take an ear temperature:

Pull out the forehead probe from the unit, and insert the temperature probe along the eardrum as deep as possible into the ear. Press [ ] key to take the ear temperature. Upon completion you will hear two short beep sounds, the LCD will display “ooo” and the result of the reading, and you will hear the result via the speaker if the TALK function is enabled. When the “ooo” disappears from the screen, the next reading can be taken. Hold the device correctly and do not press any other keys during the ear temperature measurement.

2. To take the forehead temperature:

Put on the forehead probe onto the unit, then locate the probe gently in the center of the forehead, midway between the eyebrow and the hairline. Press [ ] key once to start the forehead measurement (the measuring time is approximately 1~2 seconds). Upon completion you will hear two short beep sounds, the LCD will display the result of the reading, and you will hear the result via the speaker if the TALK function is enabled.

3. The result will automatically be recorded in the memory. Once 15

recordings have been stored, on taking the 16th recording, the rst set of data will be removed and the new recording will take the top position.

4. Perform a maximum of 3 consecutive measurements. Body temperature

may not give a true reading even though the patient has recovered. For continuous measurement up to 4 times or more, you must wait at least 10 minutes before taking a new measurement.

5. Once the reading has nished, the unit will automatically return to time

mode after 30 seconds.32

6. The display will automatically turn off after 3 minutes after the last key has

been pressed (if sleep mode is enabled).

5.3. DISPLAYING THE RESULTS OF THE MEASUREMENT

Normal body temperature is a range. A person’s normal temperatura range tends to decrease with age. The following table shows normal temperature ranges by age:

The range of normal temperature varies from person to person and can be inuenced by many factors such as time of day, measure from different sites, level of activity, medications… So we recommend that you practice with the thermometer on yourself and family members when you are healthy. This way you will know how the thermometer works and will feel more condent of the measurements you take when a family member is ill. On this thermometer, the results will be showed as follows: A. An accurate value display for result ranges between 32.0°C and 42.9°C (89.6°F and 109.3°F) B. “Hl” is displayed for result above 42.9°C/109.3°F C. “LO” is displayed for result below 32.0°C/89.6°F 5.4.
