forehead (par. #4.1) or at the eyelid (par. #4.2), no matter what the current setting is: in
fact, the axillary, oral, rectal or core settings provide a forehead temperature value that
is a valid approximation of the axillary, oral or rectal/internal temperature respectively
(see par. #3).
8. ROOM TEMPERATURE CALIBRATION
If the thermometer is handled at length or if there is a significant temperature difference
with respect to the room temperature, a countdown will appear on the display indica-
ting that you should wait until automatic temperature calibration has been completed.
Pressing the “face”
button, the projection shows “CAL”.
At this point you have 2 options:
1.
Automatic Quick Calibration System (AQCS)
: without touching the thermome-
ter, wait until the countdown has run its course and automatic quick calibration is com-
pleted. The countdown will continue updating as long as differences in temperature
are detected (for example, because the thermometer has been continuously handled).
At the end of the countdown, the thermometer can take sufficiently accurate readings.
When the thermometer is in stand-by mode, “AQCS” appears on the display indicating
that automatic quick calibration has been performed.
2.
Manual Quick Calibration System (MQCS)
: the alternative is to promptly correct
the thermometer temperature, adapting it to the real temperature of the room where
the reading has to be taken.
Proceed as follows:
• press the “face”
and “home”
buttons
(fig. 8) simultaneously: the symbol CAL will ap-
pear.
• within 10 seconds focus the thermometer on an
internal wall (not the inside of an external wall) or
wardrobe with uniform temperature and at a point
approximately 80/150 cm (30 to 60 inches) from
the floor. Press the “home”
button (fig. 9);
• once the right distance is reached (temperature
value inside the rectangle, fig. 5), release the but-
ton: the lights flash
slowly
and the display shows
the room temperature.
To ensure a reliable temperature reading, do not
focus the thermometer on an outside wall, win-
dow, source of heating or cooling (radiator, air
conditioner, lamp, computer, surface in contact
with the human body, etc.).
• The thermometer is now ready to take a reading and will keep the MQCS for 30
minutes.
Manual quick calibration (MQCS) can also be performed without the countdown if, for
