Press and hold the “ON/MEM” button, and press the “FOREHEAD” button twice
,
you can see the icon on your LCD display(see figure 4). In this mode, press the
“FOREHEAD” button to count by 0.01sec to 3 minutes.
4. Temperature taking:
4.1 Ear temperature measuring, points for attention:
Remarks:
a. It is recommended that you measure 3 times with the same ear. If the 3 measurements are different, select the highest temperature.
b. To avoid the risk of cross contamination, please clean the probe according to “Care and cleaning” section after each use.
c. The different temperature varies in healthy persons between different parts of the body can be between 32.4~33.8°F (0.2~1°C)
d. The “Clinical Bias” is 31.1 ~ 30.7°F (-0.5 ~ -0.7°C).
e. The “Limits of Agreement is 1.02.
f. The "Repeatability" is 32.3°F (0.19°C).
4.1.1 Gently pull the ear back to straighten the ear canal (Fig.4.1.1) and snugly position the probe into the ear canal, aiming
towards the membrane of the eardrum to obtain an accurate reading (Fig.4.1.2).

measurement on the LCD. After each ear measurement, wait the ear icon stop flashing to be ready for next measurement.
4.2 Forehead temperature measuring, points for attention:
Remarks:
a. Forehead temperature is displayed in oral mode. This mode converts the forehead temperature to display its “oral-equivalent” Value.
b. Before the measurement, please stay in a stable environment for 5mins and avoid exercise, bath for 30mins.
c. Remember to keep the forehead area clean and away from sweat, cosmetics and scar while taking temperature.
d.
The “Clinical Bias” is 29.5 ~ 28.9°F (-1.4 ~ -1.7°C).
e. The “Limits of Agreement” is 0.98.
f. The "Repeatability" is 32.4°F (0.20°C).
Figure 5
You can hold the thermometer within 1 cm from the central forehead (See Figure 5) and press the "FOREHEAD" button to get the forehead
measurement. While scanning, you will hear a beep sound, which indicates you the newest measurement is taking place. Measurement has
been completed after a long beep is heard and the forehead icon stops flashing. The time consuming for measurement might be 1 second. After
two short beeps are heard, the forehead icon stops flashing to be ready for next measurement.
4.3 Measuring temperature under surface mode:
4.3.1 When you press the “FOREHEAD” button, you will get the real time temperature immediately. If you press and hold the “FOREHEAD” button, the reading of
measurement will be continuous updated.
4.3.2 Applications include temperature measurements for Water, Milk, Cloth, Skin or other object.
* Note: This mode shows the actual, unadjusted surface temperatures, which is different from the body temperature.
4.4 Get the room temperature
4.4.1 Setting “Real time clock” first to enable this function. After power off, room temperature will be shown on the screen with icon.
4.4.2 For room temperature, the thermometer should be placed on the table and avoid the direct sunshine or air conditioner flow on.
