OVERVIEW
Intended Use
This Non-Contact Infrared Body Thermometer is designed to be used for intermittent
measurements and monitoring of the human body temperature by consumers in the
home setting and primary care setting as a screening tool.
Description of Non-Contact Infrared Body Thermometer
• Device principle and introduction
The non-contact thermometer is a handheld, reusable, battery operated device,
which can measure human body temperature on the forehead.
The operation principle is based on Infrared Sensor technology. The IR sensor
can output dierent signals when measuring dierent object temperature or in
dierent ambient temperature, and the ASIC can turn the signal from IR Sensor to
a digital value and display it on the LCD.

Battery installation
CAUTION: The Non-Contact Infrared Body Thermometer does not operate with dead
batteries and does not input outer power. Install new batteries.
1. Pull the battery downward, toward the bottom of the Non-Contact Infrared Body-
Thermometer and remove the battery access door.
2. Install or replace using 2 AAA batteries in the battery compartment according to
the “+” and “-”.
3. Close the battery cover.
• The ambient temperature around the person should be stable, and be away from
fans, air-conditioning vents, and so on.
• When moving the person from one place of lower temperature to another place of
higher temperature, the person should remain in the new environment more than
5 minutes, to be consistent with the ambient temperature for the remeasurement.
• Wait at least 1 second for the next measurement. After 5 continuous
measurements, it is recommended to wait at least 30 seconds and then continue
measurement.
• DO NOT use the thermometer in a place where the sun is strong.
• If for some reason the forehead temperature is low, a body temperature can be
taken behind the ears. See Figure 3.
General Setup and Use
To take a measurement
1. Turn on the thermometer by pressing the On/measure button. The thermometer
will perform a self-test displaying all segments for 2 seconds.
2. Align the thermometer with the forehead at the proper distance, and then press
the On/measure button to start the measurement.
3. Read the data.
How to Operate
Before Applying the Thermometer
Be sure to read and understand all warnings listed in the instructions before use.
• The thermometer is aligned with the middle of the forehead to measure body
temperature (between the eyebrows center it above at the forehead level). Keep
the vertical distance, press the On/Scan button, the temperature will display
immediately, see Figure 2.
• When the ambient temperature of the thermometer changes too much, such as
moving the Thermometer from one place of lower temperature to another place of
higher temperature, allow the thermometer to remain in a room for 30 minutes
where the temperature is between 59°F to 95°F (15°C to 35°C).
