Cleaning & Storage
To ensure accurate measurements, clean the lens before and after each
use. Fingerprints and dirt can cause inaccurate readings.
To Clean:
•
Use an alcohol swab or a soft cotton swab
moistened with alcohol (70% Isopropyl) to
clean the thermometer lens,
Figs. 1-2
. Do
not use paper towels, the fibers may scratch
the lens.
•
Do not use water to clean the lens or
thermometer.
•
Only use a soft dry cloth to clean the
thermometer.
•
Make sure that liquid does not enter
the interior of the thermometer.
•
Never use abrasive cleaning agents, thinners
or gasoline for cleaning.
•
Do not immerse into water or other
cleaning liquids.
To Store:
•
Remove the battery if the thermometer will
not be used for an extended period of time.
•
Store in a sun-free and dust-free dry area
at a temperature between -13°F – 131°F
(-25°C – 55°C) with relative humidity not
exceeding 95%.
•
Protect the thermometer from severe impact
or shock. Keep stored in the protective
storage bag.
General Care Information
Your RediScan Thermometer can provide years of easy and accurate
readings if cared for properly.
1. The thermometer should only be used under the supervision of
an adult.
2. The infrared technology your RediScan Thermometer uses is
completely safe. While it is not harmful to look into the lens while taking
a reading, it is not recommended.
3. The RediScan Thermometer is designed to only take human
temperature readings from the forehead. Attempting to take a
measurement anywhere else on the body may result in an inaccurate
reading.
4. Forehead measurements are comparable to oral measurements.
Remember temperatures can vary from 97.0°F to 99.0°F (36.1°C to
37.2°C) and still may be considered ‘normal’. Time of day, level of
activity, exercise and other activities can attribute to variations in
temperature. However, unlike oral temperatures, factors such as
smoking, talking and drinking do not affect forehead measurements.
5. Do not walk or run while taking a measurement.
6. Clean the lens before and after each use.
7. Store the unit in the protective bag when not in use.
8. Do not touch the lens with your fingers.
9. Do not store the unit where it will be exposed to direct sunlight, dust or
humidity. Avoid extreme temperatures.
10. Dropping or subjecting your thermometer to strong shocks should
be avoided.
11. Do not attempt to disassemble the unit, except to replace the battery.
12. If measurement is not attainable, the unit must be replaced.
NOTE:
Performance of the device may be degraded if operated outside of
stated temperature and humidity range; stored outside of stated
temperature and humidity range; thermometer undergoes mechanical
shock (drop).
