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.

of measurement. If the probe movement is too slow to
reach the temple area before the long beep sound is
heard, repeat the measurement as described above, but
simply move the probe a little quicker this time.

NOTE:
• Patients and thermometer should stay in steady-
state room condition for at least 30 minutes.

another patient.
• 10 short beeps and a red LCD backlight alert the patient
that he/she may have a temperature equal to or higher
than 37.5 °C.
• Always take the temperature in the same location, since
temperature readings may vary according to location.
• In the following situations it is recommended that three
temperatures in the same area be taken and the highest
one taken as the reading:
1. New born infants in the first 100 days.
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 obtains consistent
readings.
4. If the measurement is surprisingly low.
