Basics of Your Thermometer

Normal Body Temperature

Troubleshooting

normal forehead

temp range

Temperature readings are different from person to person and also vary depending 

upon the body location from which the temperature is measured. Forehead 

temperatures tend to be comparable to oral temperatures and approximately 1˚ lower 

than rectal temperatures for the same individual.  Temperature readings are affected 

by many factors including exercise, drinking hot or cold beverages prior to taking a 

reading as well as technique.
“Normal” temperature refers to each individual’s average temperature while healthy.  

You may want to measure and record your child’s temperature a few times when he 

or she is well, so that you will know what is normal for your own child.  On average, 

temperature ranges are as follows:

•  Device cannot be powered on to the ready stage

•  Allow the thermometer to rest in a room for at least 15 minutes at room temperature.

•  Remove batteries, wait 1 minute and repower unit. If the message reappears, contact Consumer 

Care.

•  Allow the thermometer to rest in a room for at least 15 minutes at room temperature.

•  Target is too cold to read using this thermometer. If in forehead mode, try moving unit closer to 

the forehead. 

  

   

 

 

  

 

•  Remove batteries, wait 1 minute, and repower unit. If the message reappears, contact Consumer 

Care.

NOTE: Room temperature is between 50°F and 104°F (10°C - 40°C).

  

Batteries are low.  Replace them. (See Battery Information section).

Press and release the ON/MEMORY button. Thermometer runs a brief self-check, then beeps and displays the ready screen. The unit will default to FOREHEAD 
MODE. POSITION LIGHTS at front of unit come on automatically. Prep the forehead by making sure it is clear of hair and sweat. If child has recently been in a very 
warm or very cold environment, wait a few minutes for their skin to adjust to room temperature before taking their temp.

Once unit is positioned, press and hold the READ TRIGGER button on the rear of the thermometer for about 1 second or until the screen lights up, displays 
temperature reading, and beeps (if not in mute mode.)

The unit gives one long beep when temp is in normal range. Thermometer gives additional beeps and the fever bar lights up when elevated temp is detected. 

NOTE: High, prolonged fever requires medical attention, especially for young children. Please contact your physician. Fever chart included.

After a reading is complete, the WAIT icon will flash for 5 seconds. After those 5 seconds are complete, the unit will return to READY mode. Thermometer beeps 
and shuts off automatically after about 30 seconds in READY mode.  

This thermometer can also be used to take no-touch temperatures of liquids like bath water and milk/formula. Unit defaults into FOREHEAD MODE every time 
you turn it on. To switch to LIQUID MODE, simply press the MODE button on the handle of the thermometer. NOTE: To return to FOREHEAD MODE, press MODE 
button again. NOTE: Once in LIQUID MODE, positioning lights and fever bar are no longer needed.

How to Install/Replace the Batteries

1

   If unit is not off already, hold the POWER/MEMORY 

button for 6 seconds. Release when you see the 
word “OFF” appear on the screen.

2

   While unit is still off, hold down READ TRIGGER 

button and then POWER/MEMORY button. Hold 
both down for about 5 seconds.

3

   After about 5 seconds, unit will power on in the 

new mode.

NOTE: Switching between F/C clears the memory on the unit.

This thermometer comes with the batteries outside of the unit. If this is your 

first time using this unit, start with step 1 below.

 

Low Battery Warning:

•   When the

icon appears on the display screen when 

powering up and using the thermometer, the batteries are low 

but may still work for a very short time. 

•   When the

icon appears and flashes by itself on the screen 

the batteries are exhausted and need to be replaced.

To Install Batteries:

1

   Use a Phillips head screwdriver to loosen battery cover screw. 

Remove cover.

2

    Remove old batteries

3

   Insert two AAA (or equivalent) 

batteries, correctly positioned    

with positive “+” and negative “-”  

as shown in illustration.

4

   Place the battery cover on the 

thermometer and tighten the  

screw to secure it in place.

                                               • This is 

NOT

 an ear thermometer. Take temperature measurements from the center of 

forehead. • Use caution when taking temperature readings of bath water and food.  This product is not intended to touch 

the person or item whose temperature is being measured. •

The POSITION LIGHTS are LED lights and are meant to help you feel confident about how you are aiming and distancing the unit. 

-AIMING: 

The SENSOR LENS points at the area of the forehead between the two red POSITION LIGHTS. The right spot to aim the SENSOR LENS is 

at the base of the forehead, just above the eyebrows. So, when properly positioned, the LOWER POSITION LIGHT should be between the eyebrows.

-DISTANCE:

 For accurate temperatures,  the unit should be within 1.5 inches (4 cm) of the forehead. When the unit is 1.5 inches from the forehead, 

the UPPER POSITIONING LIGHT will be directly above the LOWER POSITIONING LIGHT (vertically.) When closer or farther away, the lights move 
away from each other in opposite directions. 

Hint:

  If a child is uncomfortable seeing the thermometer coming toward his face, try turning the thermometer upside-down. 

The POSITIONING LIGHTS work the same when the thermometer is upside down.
