Indications for use:
The Non-contact Clinical Thermometer, Model METINF006 is an infrared thermometer intended
for the intermittent measurement of human body temperature in people of all ages.
Mute mode
The device setting with buzzer is on, you can set buzzer on/off under Mute mode.
When power on, press and hold the “ON/MEM” button for 3 seconds. The icon
will flash on
the LCD screen and then release the “ON/MEM” button to set MUTE. Thus you will not hear
beep sounds. You can also use the same process to turn off the Mute function.
NOTE:
If keep pressing "ON/MEN" button for 5 seconds after
icon flashing, the device will
be power off WITHOUT setting Mute.
Use of the thermometer
Note: If there is any temperature difference between the places where the device is stored and where you are going to measure, subject and the device
should
stay in the same room for at least 15 minutes before measurement.
1. Always make sure the probe lens is clean without any damage and the forehead is clean.
Warning: Choking from swallowing small parts and batteries by children or pets is possible, please keep small parts and batteries at places where
children and pets can’t reach.
2. Power on:
Press the “ON/MEM” button (see figure 1).
3. Measuring body temperature on the forehead:
Press the “ON/MEM” button to power on the device.
Forehead mode is the default mode.
You can see the
icon on the screen
and hear two beep sounds (see figure 1). In this mode, you can hold the thermometer within 4 cm from the central forehead (Fig. 2) and press
the "START" button to get the forehead measurement. The time consuming for measurement might be 1 second. After each forehead
measurement, wait
icon stop flashing to be ready for next measurement.

Points for attention:
a. Forehead temperature is displayed in oral mode. This mode converts the forehead temperature to display its “oral-equivalent” value.
b. Before the measurement, the subject should stay in a stable environment for 5 minutes 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
-2.5 ~ -3.1°F
(-1.4 ~ -1.7°C).
e. The “Limits of Agreement” is 0.98.
f. The "Repeatability" is
0.36°F
(0.20°C)
4. Measuring surface temperature:
4.1 After power on, press and hold the “ON/MEM” button, and press the “START” button one time for “Infrared thermometer” mode to see
icon on your LCD
display. In this mode, you can get the target surface temperature.
4.2 When you press the “START” button, you will get the real time temperature immediately. If you press and hold the “START” button, the reading of measurement
will
be continuously updated.
4.3 Applications include temperature measurements for water, milk, cloth, skin or other objects.
* Note: This mode shows the actual and unadjusted surface temperature which is different from the body temperature.
5. Power off:
5.1 Device will automatically shut off if left idle for more than 1 minute to extend battery life.
5.2 Manually power off the device by pressing the “ON/MEM” button.
Important Notes
Cleaning
And Storage
Please make sure the probe is clean to ensure an accurate reading.
The probe lens is the most delicate part of the thermometer. Use with care when cleaning the probe lens to avoid damage.
a. Use alcohol swabs or cotton swabs moistened with 70%~75% alcohol to clean the probe lens.
b. Allow the probe to fully dry for at least 1 minute.
c. Keep the unit dry and away from any liquids and direct sunlight.
d.
Storage temperature range: It should be stored at room temperature between -4~122°F (-20~+50°C),
RH≦85%
e. The Probe should not be submerged into liquids.
Holding the thermometer too long may cause a higher ambient temperature reading of the probe.
This could make the body temperature measurement lower than usual.
