Before use
• Acclimatise the thermometer to the temperature G
of the room G
For an accurate reading of a patient’s temperature, their body
must first acclimatise to the temperature of the room where the
measurement will be made. The same applies to the
NCT infrared
thermometer. When taken somewhere else, it automatically
adjusts itself to the new environment. The thermometer takes a
certain amount of time to equalise its own temperature to that of
the room. This depends on the difference between the two
temperatures and can take more than 30 minutes. Precise
readings can only be taken once this process is completed.

3.3 Measuring the body temperature
NOTES,
for the most accurate readings:
• The thermometer and the patient must remain in a stable
environment for at least 30 minutes before measuring the
temperature.
• Do not take a baby’s temperature during or directly after
breastfeeding.
• Do not use the thermometer in damp environments.
• Patients should not drink or eat directly before or during a
measurement, and they should avoid any physical
exertion.
• Clean the area where you are taking the temperature and
remove any dirt, hairs or sweat before moving the
sensor to the measuring position.

until the current selected unit of measurement is displayed.
3. Another short press on the START -button changes the
unit of measurement. When the desired unit is displayed, wait
until all symbols are displayed. Now the thermometer is ready
for the measurement in the new selected unit of measurement.
4. Additionally all saved measurements are adjusted automatically
according to the newly selected unit of measurement.
