NON-CONTACT INFRARED

FOREHEAD THERMOMETERGB GBEnglish EnglishInstructions and guarantee

It is important to read all instructions and warnings contained in

this booklet thoroughly before use and to look after the booklet

carefully.

Your new frontal thermometer measures body temperature precisely

and painlessly. The new infrared recording technology produces greater

reliability and longer life for the instrument.

The innovative non-contact mode makes it ideal for measurements on

children, even during sleep.

It is easy to use, allowing recording of body temperature and ambient

temperature.

With a large LCD display for easy reading that shows the ambient

temperature continuously. It has an acoustic signal to indicate body

temperature measurement completed, and has automatic shut-off after

one minute of inactivity which prolongs battery life.

It records the temperature in Celsius (°C) and Fahrenheit (°F). It stores

the last 25 measurements to allow checking for changes in the readings.

NB: The temperature shown on the display is equivalent to oral

temperature, which means the temperature measured at the

forehead is translated as if the temperature had been recorded

in the mouth.

GENERAL WARNINGS

1) Self-measuring is for checking, not diagnosis or treatment.

Unusual values should always be discussed with your doctor.

Under no circumstances should you alter the dosages of any

medication prescribed by your doctor.

2) The forehead thermometer is a sensitive instrument. Handle

with care and do not expose it to mechanical shocks. Do not

squeeze, bend, drop or take apart the thermometer.

3) Keep out of reach of children.

4) Do not expose the thermometer to extreme temperatures or to

temperature is affected by many factors:

• Personal characteristics (individual metabolism)

• Age (infants’ and toddlers’ body temperature is higher and decreases

with age). In children, temperature varies with greater intensity, speed

and frequency.

• Clothing

• Outside air temperature

• Time of day (in the morning body temperature is lower and increases

during the day)

• Motor and mental activities carried out

• Measurement method

• Phase of the menstrual cycle

Bear in mind that skin temperature is particularly influenced by ambient

temperature, and that underarm temperature measurements are less

reliable than oral and rectal recordings.

The temperature measured at the forehead is reliable because the

temporal artery that carries blood to the brain passes a few mm from

the skin of the forehead.

So your new forehead thermometer with infrared probe measures the

temperature of the heat emitted by the blood in the artery that passes

under your skin. This method of recording is valued as it is non-invasive,

accurate and reliable.

The thermometer and the person must have both been in the room

in which the measurement will take place at least 30 minutes

before taking the temperature.

The table below shows a list of “normal” average temperatures. However

it is recommended to familiarise yourself with your own normal

temperature when you are physically well so that you can

interpret the different values recorded.

METHOD OF MEASURING AVERAGE NORMAL TEMPERATURE

UNDERARM 36.5°C

ORAL 37°C

RECTAL 37.5°C

EAR 37°C

the direct rays of the sun, and do not store it near sources of

heat. Store in a clean, dry place.

5) Do not touch the probe with your fingers and do not dismantle

the thermometer.

6) Do not immerse the appliance in water or any other liquid.

7) Do not use the forehead thermometer to measure rectal, oral

or underarm temperatures.

8) Measurement accuracy can be compromised by: pronounced

sweating of the forehead, taking vasoconstricting medication

and skin irritations.

9) Clean the forehead where the probe will be positioned before

each recording.

10) Measure the temperature away from direct sunlight and from

wind.

11) This thermometer must be used to record the temperature of

the forehead (at a distance of 1 to 3 cm).

12) Holding the thermometer in your hand for too long can cause

a lower recording of body temperature by the probe.

13) Do not measure temperature for thirty minutes after either

physical activity or a bath.

FEVER

Fever should be considered a symptom and not a disease. In general, it is

a sign that the body is fighting an infection.

In fact, it is a defence mechanism of the body characterised by an increase

in body temperature above 37°C and increased heart and breathing rates.

Normal temperature within the body is about 37.5°C and this is in fact the

value measured with the rectal method.

The temperature measured in the mouth is about 0.5°C less (37°C) while

the underarm recording is 1°C less (36.5°C).

From this we can deduce the importance of a correct recording of the

temperature that should be carried out with an accurate instrument, and

if possible not at a time when body temperature may be increased for

physiological reasons (upon waking, after meals). In a healthy person the

Each type of thermometer is used to measure body temperature

in a specific part of the body. Forehead thermometers are only for

measurements on the forehead. Ear thermometers only for measuring in

the ear. Mercury thermometers are for traditional rectal, underarm and

oral recording. Depending on the point where the measurement is made, a

different temperature value is obtained.

The variation can be between 0.2-1°C. You cannot compare the

temperatures measured with different measuring methods. It is therefore

necessary to consider, when self-diagnosing or reporting to your doctor,

the type of thermometer and where on the body the temperature was

measured.

INSERTION/REPLACEMENT OF BATTERIES

The battery must be replaced as soon as the display shows the “battery

low” symbol (see Image 1). Before replacing the battery, check that the

thermometer is in standby mode to avoid damaging the mechanism.

1) To open the battery cover, insert a pointed object into the hole above

the battery compartment (see fig. 1), push down and at the same time

slide the cover in the direction of the arrow.

2) Insert a pointed object, such as a pen, into the battery compartment

and lift the battery so as to remove it.

3) Insert a new battery under the metal hook to the left and press down

the battery to the right until you hear a click. The positive terminal

must be facing up. At this point the thermometer will emit a short

beep.
