ADVICE FOR THE 1ST USE
For stable and reliable results, it is essential to check the Non-contact Body Infrared Thermometer and change as needed, as follows:
1st step: take the temperature of a person using a conventional thermometer; you will get 37.5°C (99.5°F) for instance.
2nd step: take the temperature of the same person using the Non-contact Body Infrared Thermometer keeping the 5 to 15 cm (2 in to 5.9 in) distance between the thermometer and the forehead (Take care to remove any obstacle which could alter the measurement (hair, perspiration…). If you get 37.5°C (99.5°F), the Non-contact Body Infrared Thermometer is properly set and ready for use.
If you get a lower temperature, 36.4°C (97.4°F) for example, your difference is 1.1°C (2.2°F). You should adjust the temperature on the Non-contact Body Infrared Thermometer and add the difference, i.e. 1.1°C (2.2°F).
To do it, press the “MODE” button for 2 seconds, the screen displays F1, press °MODE” button again until you get F3. Press “UP” button in order to add the difference (in our example, 1.1°C — 2.2°F).
3rd step: To check, take the temperature again using the Non-contact Body Infrared Thermometer.
10. USE
- Install battery
- For the first use or when inserting new batteries wait between 10 minutes for the warm-up of the apparatus and when inserting the new batteries.
- If the device is not used for a long time, once you turn it on again, the device will test the room temperature first and will delay turning on for one or two seconds.
- Aim towards the forehead (see the diagram below for the positioning), from a distance of 5cm(2in), press the measuring key, the temperature is displayed immediately. Making sure there is no hair, perspiration, cosmetic or cap covered on the forehead.
5. When the room temperature is significant difference, or there is perspiration on the forehead, You can take the temperature behind the ear lobe. Making sure there is no hair, perspiration, cosmetic or cap covered.
11. MEASURING OPERATION
- Choosing The Temperature Unit — Fl Function Press “MODE” button for 2 second% the screen displays: Fl. Select “DOWN° for degrees Celsius, “UP° for degrees Fahrenheit.
- Alarme Setup — F2 Menu Press “MODE” touch fort seconds, the screen displays: Fl.Press twice “MODE touch to get F2. Select TP” to increase the threshold by0.1°C (0.1°F), TOWN” to reduce it by 0.1°C (0.1°F). Note: The alarm threshold default value is 38°C (100.4°F).
- Total Difference — F3 Menu To adjust the total variation of your the Non-contact Body Infrared Thermometer. Press °MODE” button for 2 seconds, the screen displays: Fl. Press “MODE button two times to get F3. Select “UP° to increase the difference by 0.1°C (0.1°F), “DOWN° to reduce itby 0.1°C (0.1°F),In the cases of seasonal or environmental changes a verification and adjustment should be carried out. Note: This function is only effective Body

- The Non-contact Body Infrared Thermometer is specially designed to take the body temperature of a human being. For this, use the Body mode. Measurement range for Body mode: 32 to 42.5°C (86 to 108°F) You can also use the Non-contact Body Infrared Thermometer to measure the temperature of an area or an object, a food, a liquid or a room temperature. For this, use the Surface mode. Measurement range for Surface mode: 0 to 60°C (32 to 140°F)
Important: The area temperature differs from the internal body temperature. To obtain the internal temperature always use the Body mode.
Please make sure to select the Body mode for an internal temperature reading and the Surface mode for an external area reading (bottle, bath, room…).
7. Data Memory : Data memory automatically after temperature measurements, which will display at the right corner of LCD. Press “UP” or TOWN” button to display the last temperature measurement. Under the condition of power off, press “UP° and “DOWN” button together for two seconds, to display the last temperature measurement. At this mode if change the order number to 0 and press °MODE” button, then delete all memory data.
