• After physical activity, a bath or spending time outdoors, wait approx. 30 minutes before you take a measurement on your forehead.
• To ensure an accurate measurement, this device must only be used indoors when the ambient temperature range is between 10°C (50°F) and 40°C (104°F).
• This thermometer must be kept in a clean, dry area.
• Do not expose this thermometer to electric shocks.
• Do not expose this thermometer to extreme temperature conditions of greater than 55°C (131°F) or less than -20°C (-4°F).
• Do not use this thermometer in relative humidity higher than 85%.
• Do not expose the thermometer to direct sunlight, extremely high or low temperatures, dirt or dust.
• Do not drop this thermometer.
• DO NOT TOUCH THE GLASS OF THE INFRARED SENSOR WITH YOUR FINGERS AS IT IS EXTREMELY FRAGILE AND COULD CAUSE INJURY.
• For cleaning, follow the instructions in section IX Cleaning and maintenance.

• A control measurement using a conventional thermometer is recommended in the following cases:

1. If the reading is surprisingly low.
2. For new-born infants up to 100 days old.
3. For children under three years of age who have a weakened immune system or who react unusually in the presence or absence of fever.

HOW TO USE YOUR NON-CONTACT INFRARED THERMOMETER

1. Install 2 AA batteries according to instructions provided in Section VII.
2. For the first time use after installing batteries, wait 10-15 minutes for the device to warm up and adjust to the room temperature.
3. Press On/Scan button, place 3-5cm (1.5-2 in) away from forehead, aim lens toward forehead. Make sure the measurement mode is "BODY", press the thermometer's On/Scan button, and the temperature will be displayed instantly.
4. Before taking an individual's temperature, make sure any hair, dirt or dust is removed from forehead and forehead is dry. Wait 10 minutes after such removal prior to measuring temperature.

For reliable results:

• Do NOT attempt to take an individual's temperature by aiming the device at a body part other than the forehead (i.e. arms, legs, torso, etc.).
• Do NOT move the thermometer before the final result is displayed.
• Do NOT take an individual's temperature near any drafts (i.e. wind, air conditioner, fans).
• Do NOT take an individual's temperature shortly after he or she participated in vigorous physical activity, bathed, took medicine, ate or drink, or had a cold or warm compress on his or her forehead.
• Do NOT take an individual's temperature when there has been a significant change in ambient conditions. Allow the device to adjust to a significant change in the ambient temperature due to a change in environment for 30 minutes before using the device.
• Wait at least 3 to 5 seconds between measurements.
• We recommend that you take three measurements on the forehead, and if the results of three measurements are different, use the one with the highest value."
