What is the best method for taking a temperature with the SLS-IRCT30?
Please ensure you follow the recommended temperature testing distance, testing the subject
or object at
1-5 cm distance
. As a guide, pull the trigger at 5cm and move closer to the forehead
until you get a reading. For optimal accuracy, a closer range will provide a more accurate reading.

What does a reading of “Lo” mean?
If the

gives a reading of
“Lo”

the subject’s forehead is cold. As this reading is not above the fever range there is no cause for
concern.
For optimal accuracy, a closer range will provide a more accurate reading. For best results, please
take measurements under an ambient temperature between
10°C
and
40°C
