GUIDELINES FOR TEMPLE MEASUREMENTS
This thermometer is designed to measure the temperature at the forehead, in
proximity to the temple area between the end of the eyebrow and the hairline.
•
Do not place the thermometer on scar tissue, skin disorder,
open sores or abrasions, or patients in trauma.
•
Consult your physician when using drug therapies that may
elevate skin temperature in the forehead.
•
Do not use skin exposed to direct sunlight, fireplace heat,
air conditioner or fan air flow, or hot/cold compress
therapies.
•
Wait at least one minute between measurements to
allow the unit sensor to readjust to room
temperature.
•
If the thermometer has been stored in an excessively cold or
warm environment, allow the thermometer to adjust to the
ambient room temperature before use. Performance and
operation of this unit may be compromised if operated
outside of the specified temperature and humidity
operating ranges.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
1.
Press and release the POWER button to activate the
thermometer.
2.
The unit will beep and the thermometer will perform a
self-test, showing all of the symbols on the display, Fig 1.
3.
The last measurement taken will show on the display.
4.
Gently place the probe in the center of the temple area
between the end of the eyebrow and the hairline.
Maintain firm contact with the skin, hold the
thermometer in place during the reading and do not
move the thermometer to ensure reliable results.
5.
Do NOT press the power button again. The measurement
will start automatically once the probe is in place and will
take approximately 6-8 seconds. A running circle will
appear on the display indicating the reading is in
progress, Fig 2.
6.
The unit will sound one long beep when the
measurement is complete and the reading will appear on the display, Fig 3.
7.
To turn the unit off, simply press the POWER button. The unit will automatically
shut-off after approximately one minute.
NOTE
: If you take another measurement before 1 minute has elapsed, the device
will perform a 10 to 0 countdown to allow the device to reset for a new
measurement.
DO NOT TRY TO MEASURE DURING THIS COUNTDOWN. If you attempt to measure
during the countdown time, the device will display the previous result, beep 8
times and turn itself off automatically.
CHANGING MODES - FAHRENHEIT OR CELSIUS OPERATION
This unit defaults to a Fahrenheit measurement. To change modes:
1.
Press and hold the POWER button for approximately
5-seconds.
2.
The unit will beep, then the display will indicate the
self-test screen, last measurement and finally will
show only the current mode in the upper right
corner.

THANK YOU FOR PURCHASING A MINI TEMPLE THERMOMETER. PLEASE READ THESE
INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY TO ENSURE PROPER USE AND SAFE OPERATION OF YOUR
THERMOMETER.
PLEASE READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
•
This product is not intended to diagnose or treat any health problem or disease
and should not be used as a substitute for the consultation and advice of a
physician or other medical professional.
•
Thermometers should only be used under the supervision of an adult.
•
Before use, it is recommended that the patient avoid eating, drinking, smoking
or exercising for at least twenty minutes prior to taking a measurement. Never
walk, run or talk during a measurement.
NORMAL BODY TEMPERATURE AND FEVER
Body temperature can vary from 97°F and 100.0°F and still be considered normal.
The medically accepted ‘normal’ body temperature is 98.6°F Body temperature is
commonly lower in the morning than at any point during the rest of an individual’s
waking hours.
Temperature readings will vary based on the body location point of the reading.
Average ‘normal’ temperature ranges by measurement location site:
Forehead
97.0°F–100.0°F (36.1°C–37.8°C)
Oral
97.0°F–100.0°F (36.1°C–37.8°C)
Rectal
97.3°F–100.4°F (36.3°C–38.0°C)
Axillary
95.4°F–99.0°F (35.2°C–37.2°C)
A fever is defined as a body temperature that is elevated above the normal for that
person. It is important to determine what is normal for an individual before
determining if a fever is present. Tracking an individual’s temperature on a
consistent basis, at the same body site and at the same time everyday when the
person is well or healthy will help determine an individual’s normal temperature.
QUICK START TIPS
1.
Press and release the POWER button, wait 2-seconds.
2.
Hold unit firmly to temple until a long single beep is heard, 6-8 seconds.
3.
Results will be displayed on the screen.
4.
Wait one minute before new measurement.
5.
To alternate between °F and °C, press and hold the POWER button.
3.
Continue to hold the POWER button, the °F or °C will alternate to the desired
mode, either Celsius or Fahrenheit.
4.
Release the POWER button. Either proceed with your measurement, or press
and release POWER to shut the unit off.
MEMORY RECALL
This unit includes a recall of the last measurement taken.
When the unit is OFF, press the POWER button to turn the
unit on, and release. After the self-test, the unit will briefly
show the last reading on the display.
REPLACING THE BATTERY
This thermometer includes 2 AAA 1.5V batteries. The low-battery symbol will appear
on the top center of the display when the battery needs to be changed.
