Note :
• As the forehead measurement temperature is likely to be affected by sweat, oil
and the surroundings, the reading shall be taken as a reference only.
• If the detecting sensor is placed at an angle close to the forehead measurement,
the reading will be affected by surrounding temperature. Babies’ skin reacts very
quickly to the ambient temperature. Therefore, do not take their temperature with
MINI during or after breastfeeding because the skin temperature may then be
lower than the internal body temperature.
• If the reading is < 32°C (89.6°F), the display will show "L" together with red
backlight and three short beeps.
• If the reading is ≥ 32°C (89.6°F) and < 37.5 °C (99.5°F), the display will show the
reading together with green backlight and three short beeps.
• If the reading is ≥ 37.5 °C (99.5°F) and < 43°C (109.4°F), the display will show the
reading together with red backlight and ten short beeps.
• If the reading is ≥ 43°C (109.4°F), the display will show "H" together with red
backlight and ten short beeps.
• The interval of each next measurement is at least 3 seconds.
• The device remains in standby mode for another measurement with last readings
stays on the display, °C or °F is blinking. The device cannot perform another
measurement while the previous measurement still appears on the display with
backlight that lasts for 5 seconds.
• The thermometer will automatically turn off if it is left idle for 25 seconds.
Measuring an Object Temperature
1. Press the On/Scan button for 2~5 seconds when the thermometer is off to enter
into object mode. (f) The full display will be shown on the screen for 2 seconds
and then the last memory will appear for another 2 seconds. (j)
2. When °C or °F blinks (d), point the torchlight to the object. (k) Make sure the
detecting sensor is flat and close to the object, not at an angle.
Note : Perform an object measurement with a distance within 3 cm.
3. Press and release the On/Scan Button, the device will take measurement.
4. Read the result. (l)
The measurement result will be displayed once releasing the On/Scan Button. The
reading is shown together with green backlight and three short beeps.
Note :
• If the reading is < 0°C (32°F), the display will show "L" together with red backlight
and three short beeps.
• If the reading is ≥ 0°C (32°F) and < 100 °C (212°F), the display will show the reading
together with green backlight and three short beeps.
• If the reading is ≥ 100°C (212°F), the display will show "H" together with red
backlight and ten short beeps.
• The interval for the next measurement should be 3 seconds.
• The device remains in standby mode for another measurement with last readings
stays on the display, °C or °F is blinking. The device cannot perform another
measurement while the previous measurement still appears on the display with
backlight that lasts for 5 seconds.
• The thermometer will automatically turn off if it is left idle for 25 seconds.
Recalling the Memory
Your thermometer stores 20 most recent body temperature readings.
1. Press the On/Scan button for 5~8 seconds to enter the memory mode. (f)
Three dashes ("---") will appear with blinking " " and greenbacklight. (m)
Be sure the thermometer is OFF before entering the memory mode.
2. Press the On/Scan Button repeatedly to review the results stored in the device.
Backlight in green or red will appear according to the memory reading. When the
last record appears on the screen, press the On/Scan Button again to return to the
Mini Owner’s Manual
first
record.
Note :
• Only the body temperature records can be read in the memory mode.
• If there is no readings existed, the "---" icon (with " " icon blinks) will be shown
on the screen.
• When the memory is full, the oldest result will be overwritten.
Appendix
Maintenance
Replacing the Battery
The thermometer comes with one 3V CR2032 lithium battery.
When the power is getting low, the " " icon appears on the screen.
To change the battery, do the following :
1. Press the buckle on battery cover and lift up to remove the cover. (n)
2. Remove the old battery with battery hook by lifting the battery slightly upward
and replace with one new 3V CR2032 lithium battery. (o)
3. Close the battery cover.
CAUTION
RISK OF EXPLOSION IF BATTERY IS REPLACED BY AN
INCORRECT TYPE.
DISPOSE OF USED BATTERIES ACCORDING TO THE
INSTRUCTIONS.
Note :
• Although the thermometer works when the " " icon appears, we still
recommend that you change the battery to obtain an accurate result.
• Keep away the battery from small children. If swallowed, promptly seek medical
assistance.
• Battery may leak chemicals if unused for a long time. Remove the battery if you
are not going to use the device for an extended period.
• Properly dispose of the used battery according to your local environmental
regulations.
Caring for Your Device
Cleaning
• The detecting sensor is not waterproof. Please wipe with a clean and dry cotton
swab to clean the detecting sensor on the inside.
• Use a soft and dry cloth to clean the thermometer. Do not use abrasive cleaners.
Storage.
• The body of the thermometer is not water-resistant. Never put the thermometer
under a running tap or submerge it into water.
• Store the thermometer in a cool and dry location. Keep free from dust and away
from direct sunlight.
Normal Body Temperature & Fever
Information
The temperature in the forehead and temple area differs from the internal
temperature, which is taken orally or rectally.
Vasoconstriction, an effect which constricts the blood vessels and cools the skin,
can occur during the early stages of a fever. In this case, the temperature measured
by the Biocare MINI thermometer may be unusually low.
If the measurement therefore does not match the patient’s own perception or is
Mini Owner’s Manual
unusually low, repeat the measurement every 15 minutes. As a reference, you can
also measure the internal body temperature using a conventional oral or rectal
thermometer.
Body temperature can vary from one individual/person to next. It also varies by
location on the body and time of day. Below shows the statistical normal ranges
from different sites. Please keep in mind that temperatures measured from
different sites, even at the same time, should not be directly compared. Fever
indicates that the body temperature is higher than normal.
This symptom may be caused by infection, overdressing or immunization. Some
people may not experience fever even when they are ill. These include, but are
not limited to, infants younger than 3 months old, persons with compromised
immune systems, persons taking antibiotics, steroids or antipyretics (aspirin,
ibuprofen, acetaminophen), or persons with certain chronic illnesses. Please
consult your physician when you feel ill even if you do not have fever.
