≥

will show with green backlight.
• If the reading is between value 37.5-38.5°C(99.5-101.3°F),
the display will show together with 1 short beeps, the orange
backlight lasts for alarm.
• If the reading is
≥
above value 38.5°C(109.4°F), the display
will show together with 3 short beeps, the red backlight lasts

• 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 probe is placed at an angle close to the forehead
measurement, the reading will be affected by surrounding
temperature.
• Babies’ skin reacts very quickly in the ambient temperature.
Therefore, do not take their temperature with the non-contact
thermometer during/after breastfeeding, because the skin
temperature maybe lower than the internal body temperature.
• The thermometer will automatically turn off if left idle for 30
seconds.
