Temperature Taking Hints
1. External factors may influence forehead temperature, particularly when an
individual has:
• been exposed to very hot or very cold temperatures
• recently been swimming or bathing
• had their forehead covered
In any of these cases listed above, remove the person from the situation or
uncover their head and wait 30 minutes prior to taking a temperature.
2. With the object measurement, only the surface temperature of the object is
measured. It can be different from its internal temperature, especially if the
surface is exposed to direct sunlight or dryness.
Before Use
1. To achieve an accurate measurement, it is important to check the infrared
sensor and ensure it is clean before use. To clean the sensor, gently wipe its
surface with a cotton swab slightly moistened with alcohol and immediately
wipe dry with a clean cotton swab. After cleaning, allow at least 20 minutes
drying time before taking temperatures.
2. Oils or lotion on the forehead may cause an inaccurate measurement, so
make sure the forehead is clean. If you clean the forehead, wait 5~10 minutes
before measuring.
3. If the temperature of the storage area differs greatly from that of the
measuring area, please wait 30 minutes for the thermometer and room
temperature to equalize before measuring.
4. Open the battery cover and remove the insulating plastic from the battery
compartment. The thermometer should turn on automatically.
