Temperature

Surface Mode

Before the measurement, please make sure the selected button accords with the measured position.

The real time clock will be recorded with the memory function and help you to recognize each measurement result. (It includes the 12/24 Format_Hour_Minutes_Date.)

 Please see the “Real time clock setting” section to learn how to setup the time in the first use.

Suitable ambient temperature is important for the baby and patient, the thermometer always help you recognize the room temperature.

 Setting “Real time clock” first to enable this function. After power off, room temperature will be shown on the screen with icon.

 Please see the “Use of the thermometer” section to learn how to get the correct room temperature.

The thermometer has been designed for practical use. It’s not meant to replace a visit to the doctor.

Please also remember to compare the measurement result to your regular body temperature.

Please consult with doctor if you have health concerns.

 Please see the “Use of the thermometer” section to learn how to measure the body temperature.

The surface mode shows the actual, unadjusted surface temperatures, which is different from the body temperature. It can help you to monitor if the object temperature is suitable for the baby or patient, for example the baby’s milk.

 Please see the “Use of the thermometer” section to learn how to measure the object temperature.

Stopwatch

The thermometer built the stopwatch function to help you to monitor the heartbeat since heartbeat is one of the healthy indexes for people.

 Please see the “Use of the Stopwatch” section to learn how to measure the heartbeat result.

Temperature Alarm

Zone Indicator

Memory Locations

°F / °C Switch

If thermometer detects a body temperature ≧ 99.5°F (37.5°C), there will be a long beep sound followed by three short beep sound to warn the user for the temperature is above 99.5°F (37.5°C).

Under ear or forehead mode, if thermometer detects a body temperature <99.5°F (37.5°C), there will be "

Green" light signal; if temperature ≧ 99.5°F (37.5°C) and <100.4°F (38.0°C), there will be" Yellow" light signal; if temperature ≧ 100.4°F (38.0°C), there will be" Red" light signal.

RED: Warning - Immediate response by the OPERATOR is required. Suggest continually monitoring the body temperature. If in doubt about the person’s condition, seek medical assistance.

YELLOW: Caution - Prompt response by the OPERATOR is required.

GREEN: Ready for use.

There are total 9 sets memories for body temperature. Each memory also records the measurement date/time/mode icon and site location.

 When in power on, press the “ON/MEM” button to see the temperature stored with icon.

 In “power off” mode (The LCD only shows the date, time and room temperature). Press and hold the

“FOREHEAD” button, then immediately press and release the “ON/MEM” button. After 3 seconds, icon

“°F” will be switched to icon “°C”. (You may use the same way to switch back to “°F”)

Real time clock setting

“FOREHEAD” button to count by 0.01sec to 3 minutes.

4. Temperature taking:

4.1 Ear temperature measuring, points for attention:

Remarks: a. It is recommended that you measure 3 times with the same ear. If the 3 measurements are different, select the highest temperature. b. To avoid the risk of cross contamination, please clean the probe according to “Care and cleaning” section after each use. c. The different temperature varies in healthy persons between different parts of the body can be between 32.4~33.8°F (0.2~1°C) d. The “Clinical Bias” is 31.1 ~ 30.7°F (-0.5 ~ -0.7°C). e. The “Limits of Agreement is 1.02. f. The "Repeatability" is 32.3°F (0.19°C).

4.1.1 Gently pull the ear back to straighten the ear canal (Fig.4.1.1) and snugly position the probe into the ear canal, aiming towards the membrane of the eardrum to obtain an accurate reading (Fig.4.1.2).

Figure 4.1.1 Figure 4.1.2

4.1.2 Press and hold the “Ear” button until you hear a beep sound. Remove the probe from ear and read the temperature measurement on the LCD. After each ear measurement, wait the ear icon stop flashing to be ready for next measurement.

4.2 Forehead temperature measuring, points for attention:

Remarks: a. Forehead temperature is displayed in oral mode. This mode converts the forehead temperature to display its “oral-equivalent” Value. b. Before the measurement, please stay in a stable environment for 5mins and avoid exercise, bath for 30mins. c. Remember to keep the forehead area clean and away from sweat, cosmetics and scar while taking temperature. d.

The “Clinical Bias” is 29.5 ~ 28.9°F (-1.4 ~ -1.7°C). e. The “Limits of Agreement” is 0.98. f. The "Repeatability" is 32.4°F (0.20°C).

You can hold the thermometer within 1 cm from the central forehead (See Figure 5) and press the "FOREHEAD" button to get the forehead measurement. While scanning, you will hear a beep sound, which indicates you the newest measurement is taking place. Measurement has been completed after a long beep is heard and the forehead icon stops flashing. The time consuming for measurement might be 1 second. After two short beeps are heard, the forehead icon stops flashing to be ready for next measurement.

Error Message

T he probe is the most delicate part of the thermometer. Use with care when cleaning the lens to avoid damage. a. After the measurement, please use the cotton swab with the Alcohol (70% concentration) to clean the inside of the probe, including lens and metal parts. b. Allow the probe to fully dry for at least 1 minute. c.

Storage temperature range: It should be stored at room temperature between

-4~122°F (-20~+50°C ) , RH ≦ 85 % d .Keep the unit dry and away from any liquids and direct sunlight. e. The Probe should not be submerged into liquids.

* Note: Please check the device if damaged once it falls. If you can’t make sure of it ,please send the

complete device to the nearest retailer for recalibration.

Holding the thermometer too long may cause a higher ambient temperature reading of the probe.

This could make the body temperature measurement lower than usual.

When the “Low Battery” icon indicates the battery is low, the battery should be replaced immediately with CR2032 *1pcs battery.

Battery replacement

○ Open the battery cover: Insert a pointed object, such as a pen, into battery cover pick hole.

At the same time, use thumb to push battery cover out.

Electromagnetic environment – guidance

Portable and mobile RF communications equipment should be used no closer to any part of the MFT-9, including cables, than the recommended separation distance calculated from the equation applicable to the frequency of the transmitter.

Recommended separation distance d = 1,2 d = 1,2 80 MHz to 800 MHz d = 2,3 800 MHz to 2,5 GHz where P is the maximum output power rating of the transmitter in watts (W) according to the transmitter manufacturer and d is the recommended separation distance in meters (m).

Field strengths from fixed RF transmitters, as determined by an electromagnetic site survey, a should be less than the compliance level in each frequency range b.

Interference may occur in the vicinity of equipment marked with the following symbol:

NOTE 1 At 80 MHz and 800 MHz, the higher frequency range applies.

NOTE 2 These guidelines may not apply in all situations. Electromagnetic propagation is affected by absorption and reflection from structures, objects and people.

a. Field strengths from fixed transmitters, such as base stations for radio (cellular/cordless) telephones and land mobile radios, amateur radio, AM and FM radio broadcast and TV broadcast cannot be predicted theoretically with accuracy. To assess the electromagnetic environment due to fixed RF transmitters, an electromagnetic site survey should be considered. If the measured field strength in the location in which the MFT-9 is used exceeds the applicable RF compliance level above, the MFT-9 should be observed to verify normal operation. If abnormal performance is observed, additional measures may be necessary, such as reorienting or relocating the MFT-9. b. Over the frequency range 150 kHz to 80 MHz, field strengths should be less than 3 V/m.
