Taking a temperature reading – quickly and accurately!

The MEDISANA Non-contact Infrared Thermometer allows precise, contact-free (approx. 1.5 to 5 cm distance) measurement of body temperature. The temperature is taken above the eye-brow between the forehead and the temple. The value of the energy radiated there is measured and converted to a temperature value. The reading is displayed within a few seconds. The enables you, for example, to take babies' temperature without disturbing their sleep.

Getting started: Removing / Inserting batteries
For the use resp. If the battery symbol appears in the display after a certain period of use, you must insert new batteries before taking another measurement. Use two new 1.5 V batteries (LR03, AAA).

Removal: Slide the lid of the battery compartment cover downwards as shown. Take out the batteries.

Insertion: Put in two new 1.5V-batteries (AAA, LR03). Make sure the batteries are the right way around. Put the battery compartment cover back on and move it upwards until it locks into position.

Before use

warning NOTES
For the most accurate reading:

The thermometer and the patient must remain in a stable environment for at least 30 minutes before measuring the temperature.
Do not take a baby's temperature during or directly after breastfeeding.
Do not use the thermometer in damp environments.
Patients should not drink or eat directly before or during a measurement, and they should avoid any physical exertion.
Clean the area where you are taking the temperature and remove any dirt, hairs or sweat before moving the sensor to the measuring position.
Do not remove the thermometer from the measuring position until it has beeped to signal the end of the reading.
If the sensor becomes dirty during or after a reading, clean it with a cotton bud dipped in cleaning alcohol before putting the thermometer away.
Always take the temperature in the same place, because the readings will vary in different environments.

The thermometer has been clinically tested, and its safety and accuracy inspected and confirmed, provided it is used in accordance with these instructions.

Change the unit of measure

You can measure the temperature in °Celsius or in °Fahrenheit. Please proceed as follows to select the unit of measure:

The device has to be switched off.
Press the SCAN-button for approx. 8 seconds until the meausrement unit appears, then release.
Press the SCAN-button again to change the unit of measurement to either °C or °F.

Measuring the body temperature

Turn on the thermometer by pressing SCAN-button .
Point the senor in the middle of the patient's forehead at a distance between 15 mm and max. 50 mm.

If the patient's forehead has hair, sweat or dirt on it, remove this first so that the reading is as accurate as possible.
Press the SCAN-button and release after approx. 1 second. You will hear a beep and the body temperature will be displayed in the display .
If the measurement result is below 32°C, a "Lo" sign will be displayed follow by 2 consecutive beep sound. If measurement reading is above 37.8°C, there will be 6 consecutive beep sound. If reading above 42.2°C is record, a "Hi" sign will be displayed followed by 2 consecutive beep sound.
The measurement result will automatically be saved. After approx. 60 seconds without any further use the thermometer will switch off automatically to save battery power.

Recalling stored data

The MEDISANA infrared thermometer can store up to 32 results.
You can call up your stored data with press on the SCAN-button for 4 seconds. The memory slot number will be shown in the display , together with the last stored temperature reading. With each further press on the SCAN-button , you can call up the previous results (memory slots 1 to 32).

Error messages

Display	Problem	Solution
	Temperature taken is higher than 42.2°C / 108°F	Operate the thermometer only between the specified temperature ranges. In the event of a repeated error message, contact your retailer or Customer Services.
	Temperature taken is lower than 32°C / 89.6°F	Operate the thermometer only between the specified temperature ranges. In the event of a repeated error message, contact your retailer or Customer Services.
	Sensor not welded	Contact your retailer or Customer Services.
	EEPROM is abnormal	Contact your retailer or Customer Services.
	Low power	Replace the batteries.
	The temperature of the measuring environment is too high.	Decrease the temperature of the environment, keep it within 16°C-35°C.
	The temperature of the measuring environment is too low.	Increase the temperature of the environment, keep it within 16°C-35°C.

Cleaning and maintenance

The sensor is the most delicate part of the MEDISANA Non-contact Infrared Thermometer. Protect it from dirt and damage. Clean the sensor with a cotton bus dipped in warm water or 70% isopropyl alcohol.
Do not immerse the thermometer in water or any other liquid. It is not watertight.
To clean the thermometer, use a soft cloth slightly dampened with mild soapy water or 70% isopropyl alcohol. Do not let water get into the unit. Only use the unit again when completely dry.
Never use aggressive cleaning agents, thinners, benzine or tough brushes.
Take care not to scratch the lens of the sensor, the display or the housing.
Do not use or store the unit in an environment where the ambient temperature or humidity is too high or too low (see operating conditions in the "Technical specifications" section), in direct sunshine, in the vicinity of static electricity or in a dusty environment.
Remove the batteries if you do not wish to use the unit for an extended period of time. Otherwise there is a danger that the batteries may leak.
If the thermometer is used as described in these instructions, no regular maintenance or calibration is required.
