4  Switching Between Forehead and Ambient Modes:

•  The screen will display either a Forehead or House icon to indicate 

which temperature mode it is currently in, and will also display the 
last forehead or ambient temperature taken. 

•  If  it is in Forehead mode but you want ambient mode or vice versa, 

press the Function mode button and this will change the display 
icons and a short ‘beep’ will sound to confirm the change.

5  Measuring Ambient (room) Temperature: 

•   Once in Ambient mode, briefly press the Power ON / Scan button 

and keep the thermometer in the same position until a beep sounds, 
which indicates the measurement is complete. Then read the 
temperature on the screen.

6  Measuring Forehead Temperature: 

•  When in Forehead mode, aim the thermometer at the forehead, 

ensuring that the distance between the probe and forehead is 
between 2-5cm, and then briefly press the Power ON/Scan button. 
Keep the thermometer in the same position until a beep sounds, 
which indicates that measurement is complete.

•  The specific temperature will appear on the screen, and the 

Temperature Range Indicator will give the additional quick visual 
reference of  the temperature range.

Note: There is no need to keep your finger pressed on the Power ON / Scan 
button to take a reading. In fact keeping your finger pressed on the Power ON /
Scan button will prevent the temperature from being read, so always press it 
briefly, but keep the thermometer in the same position until the beep sounds. 

•  Immediately after the measurement process (in either mode), 

both the Display Backlight and Temperature Range Indicator will 
automatically come on and remain on for 10 seconds.

7  Switching Between Celsius and Fahrenheit: 

 The Celsius/Fahrenheit button can be found in the battery compartment. 

With the device turned on, briefly press C/F button to convert between Celsius 
and Fahrenheit. The screen icon and temperature will change and a beep will 
sound to confirm this change.

8  Memory Function: 

•  With the thermometer ON, press the ‘M’ Memory Function button 

to display the previous 19 readings. Press once for the last reading 
data, press again for the second but last reading data and so 
on. The data displayed will be the number of  the reading, the 
temperature mode and the actual temperature measurement.

9  Turning Sound ON or OFF: 

•  With the thermometer ON, press the Sound button to turn the 

device audible sound ON or OFF.
