Multiple use potential (extended measuring range)
The device operates in two modes, which are the medical forehead mode, with a
measuring range of 34.0 °C to 42.2 °C, and the non-medical object mode with
an extended measuring range of 0 °C to 100 °C. Use the mode switch on the
side of the thermometer to take either forehead or object temperature readings.
Therefore, in addition to measuring body temperature (forehead mode), the
thermometer can be used in object mode to measure the surface temperature of
baby bottles or bath water, for example, as well as ambient temperature in the
bedroom.
6. Initial operation of the device
Batteries are included in delivery and already inserted in the device. Carefully
pull the non-contact strip out of the closed battery compartment.
Thermoval baby is now ready for operation.
Inserting / changing batteries
■
Open the battery cover at the bottom of the device by applying gentle
pressure on the notch. Insert the batteries (see Chapter 14 – Technical data).
Ensure correct polarity (+ and –) when inserting batteries. Carefully close the
battery lid.
■
If the ‘Change battery’ symbol is permanently displayed, temperatures can
no longer be measured and you need to replace all batteries.
■
The stored values will remain in the memory when the batteries are changed.
7. Measuring the body temperature
How to avoid inaccurate readings
■
Please check that the lens of the sensor is clean, free from grease and is not
damaged before every measurement.
■
To ensure that the temporal artery (Arteria temporalis) is captured during the
measurement, it is essential for the scan to range from the centre of
the forehead to the temple area, including the temple.
■
Do not remove the measuring device from the measuring area until the blue
positioning light has gone off after 3 seconds.
■
Measurements on body regions other than the forehead do not provide
reliable measuring results.
■
An accurate result can only be achieved if the prescribed measuring
distance of 3 cm – 5 cm between the sensor and the skin or object is
maintained during the measurement. If this distance is not maintained,
the measured values could deviate significantly.
