Safety Information:

• Do not bite on the thermometer. Doing so may lead to breakage and/or injury

• Do not bite on the thermometer. Doing so may lead to breakage and/or injury

• Do not share the thermometer among individuals

• Do not attempt to disassemble or repair the thermometer. Doing so may result in inaccurate readings

• Do not attempt to burn the battery. It may burst

• Pay attention to polarity (+ –) when replacing the battery. Failure to do so may lead to fluid leakage, heat generation or bursting, resulting in damage to the unit

• Remove the battery when the thermometer will not be used for 3 months or more. Failure to do so may lead to fluid leakage, heat generation or bursting, resulting in damage to the unit

• Do not attempt to disinfect the sensing section of the thermometer by immersing it in alcohol or hot water (water over 50°C)

Frequently Asked Questions:

How to switch between Fahrenheit and Celcius units?
Press the I/O button for 7 seconds until a beep is heard. The display will change to the other measurement scale at the time when the beep sounds.

How to check the last measured temperature?
Press the I/O button to display the recently measured temperature.

Nothing appears in the display section when the power switch is pressed. What could be the error?
There may be cases for this to happen.

• The battery may be inserted incorrectly. Please take out the battery and replace it using the correct polarity

• The battery is depleted. Replace with a new battery, and the device should start working

How do you know if the thermometer is accurate?
The ice bath test is the easiest way to test a thermometer for accuracy, assuming the thermometer will display temperatures of 32°F or less.

How do you know if the thermometer is broken?
Insert the thermometer into the glass of cold water without touching the sides of the glass. After 30 seconds, the thermometer should read 32° F. If it doesn't, it may need to be replaced or recalibrated.

What can affect a thermometer reading?
Direct sunlight, cold temperatures or a sweaty forehead can affect temperature readings. Variations in user technique, such as holding the scanner too far away from the forehead, also may affect accuracy.
