Holding the thermometer for too long in the hand before taking a measurement can cause the device
to warm up. This means the measurement could be incorrect.

Patients and the thermometer should stay in a room with a steady environment for at least 30 minutes.

Before placing the thermometer sensor onto the forehead, remove dirt, hair, or sweat from the fore-
head area. Wait 10 minutes after cleaning before taking measurement.

In the following situations it is recommended that 3-5 measurements in the same location be taken and
the highest one taken as the reading:
•
New-born infants in the first 100 days.
•
Children under three years of age with a compromised immune system and for whom the
presence or absence of fever is critical.
•
When the user is learning how to use the thermometer for the first time until he/she has
familiarized himself/herself with the instrument and obtains consistent readings.
CARE AND CLEANING
Use an alcohol swab or cotton swab moistened with 70% alcohol to clean the thermometer casing and the
measuring probe. After the alcohol has completely dried out, you can take a new measurement.
Ensure that no liquid enters the interior of the thermometer. Never use abrasive cleaning agents, thinners or
benzene for cleaning and never immerse the instrument in water or other cleaning liquids. Take care not to
scratch the surface of the LCD screen.
