Touch Free Infrared Thermometer — TIPS & TECHNIQUES Tips and Techniques for non-contact thermometers in non-home use environments USE AND STORAGE ENVIRONMENT / THERMOMETER CARE Touch-free, forehead thermometers are tested and proven as accurate as oral thermometers and are ideal for scenarios where oral measurements are not practical. User error is the biggest reason for measurement variances with this method. Please read this Quick Start Guide thoroughly for maximum effectiveness of your device. Thermometer should be stored and used at ‘room temperature’; measurements taken outside use range (ie outside in cool air) may be compromised. WHAT IS A NORMAL BODY TEMPERATURE? Commonly accepted normal body temperature is about 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit (°F) or 37 degrees Celsius (°C). Normal temperature often varies from 1° to 2°F (½° to 1°C). A normal temperature is usually lower in the morning and increases during the day. It reaches its high in the late afternoon or evening. What is important to note in evaluating results is that individuals will vary from one to another and time of day can be a factor as well. Interpreting what is normal for an individual is helpful in noting fluctuations in their measurements. Operating Range–60.8°F to 104.0°F EXAMPLE – Storage at a facility door for employee scanning that is frequently open to the outside like a warehouse, in some regions, could mean the thermometer itself is far below storage and use temperature. It is recommended that the person not eat or drink anything five minutes prior to measurement; very cold and very hot drinks may artificially fluctuate a reading for a very short time. CLEANING AND DISINFECTING— Before and after use, wipe with an alcohol pad or cloth. Never submerge in water to clean. See manual for more detailed instructions. MEMORY RECALL BUTTON Persons getting their temperature taken should be acclimated to the interior room temperature before measurement; ie if they have come in from outside on a cold or hot day, allow several minutes before measurement. CHANGING MODES BUTTON EXAMPLE – An employee drives into work but waits outside chatting with a co-worker for 15 minutes before entering on a cold morning can read artificially low due to extensively cold skin surface temperature. MEASURE / POWER BUTTON For a detailed explanation of additional features, please consult the included manual. Allow thermometer a minimum of one minute in between measurements for optimal results.

Aim the infrared lens at the individual’s forehead, holding the thermometer less than 0.5” away, but NOT TOUCHING the forehead. ­­­ HELPFUL TIP: 0.5” is LESS THAN a woman’s pinky finger width; not being close enough will result in low readings. 5. If the temperature measurement is below 100.4° F, a happy face will be appear next to the reading. If the reading is 100.4° F or above, a sad face will be displayed and the red light will illuminate just below the display. 6.
