HOW TO TAKE A TEMPERATURE

To ensure that you take an accurate temperature, please follow the instructions below.

1Remove protective cap before use. Place the thermo-

meter in your hand as shown with your thumb on the Soft Touch button.

Do not press the button yet.

2 Gently position the sensor flush on center of the forehead, midway between eyebrow and hairline. Press and release the ON/OFF button.

Wait until the sensor is flush against the forehead before pressing the button, if not, the thermometer will beep and display “—”.

3 Slowly slide the thermometer across the forehead, keeping the sensor flat and in contact with the skin until you have reached the area at the top of the ear.

You will hear beeping and the LEDs will blink to indicate a measurement is taking place.

Be careful not to keep the sensor on one spot for too long, the thermometer will indicate that the measure- ment has been completed before you have reached the temporal artery.

4 After the long beep when the red LED remains on, the measurement is complete and the thermometer may be removed from the head.

rubbing alcohol or water.

Do not use a paper towel or abrasive cleaners.

7Place the protective cap on thermometer to protect the sensor when not in use.
