Forehead Thermometer

Instruction Manual

Please read these instructions carefully before using

the instrument and keep them in a safe place.

The Microlife Forehead Thermometer is a high quality product

incorporating the latest technology and tested in accordance with

international standards. With its unique technology, the Microlife

Forehead Thermometer can provide a stable, heat-interference-

free reading with each measurement. The instrument performs a

self-test every time it is switched on to always guarantee the

specified accuracy of measurements.

The Microlife Forehead Thermometer allows a simple and quick

measurement of the body temperature. Please keep in mind

that, - like any skin temperature -, the temperature at the

temporal area might differ from the core body temperature (e.g.

obtained by a rectal probe), which is due to a basic physiologic

effect called vasoconstriction. Since vasoconstriction can occur

in the early stages of fever, resulting in a cool skin effect, the

recorded temperature using a forehead thermometer may be

suspiciously low.

Skin temperature of babies reacts very quickly on ambient

temperature. Therefore do not take a measurement while or

after nursing; skin temperature may be lower than core

temperature.

If the measurement result is not consistent with the patient's

finding, always double check the result by another core body

temperature measurement, e.g. use an IR – eardrum thermome-

ter or a rectal pen-type thermometer.

Batteries and electronic instruments must be disposed

of inaccordance with the locally applicable regulations,

not with domestic waste.

1. The Advantages of your Thermometer

Measurement in 3 seconds

The innovative infrared technology allows measurement simply by

scanning the eyebrow area. After a scanning time of 3 seconds the

measurement will be displayed on the LCD.

Accurate and reliable

Due to the unique probe assembly construction, incorporating an

advanced infrared sensor this device can offer a temperature

measurement comparable to one taken from the oral site with a

regular digital thermometer.

Gentle and Easy to Use

• Appealing Penguin style delights the children.

• No need Probe Covers at all, which makes the thermometer

simple and easy to use.

• The thermometer can be used without interference to daily

lifestyle. A measurement can be taken even while a child is

sleeping.

• The thermometer is less threatening to a child than a rectal

thermometer and more pleasant to use than an oral

thermometer.

Auto-Display Memory

The last reading is automatically displayed for 3 seconds when

the unit is switched ON.

Multiple Reading Recalls

Users will be able to recall the last 12 readings when entering

the recall mode, enabling efficient tracking of temperature

variations.

Safe and Hygienic

• No risk of broken glass or mercury ingestion.

• Completely safe for use on children.

High Temperature Indication

10 short beeps and a red LCD backlight alert the patient that

he/she may have a temperature above 37.5 °C.

2. Important Safety Instructions

• Never use the thermometer for purposes other than those it

has been intended for. Please follow the general safety

precautions when using on children.

•Never immerse the thermometer into water or other

liquids (not waterproof). For cleaning, please follow

the instructions in the «Cleaning and Storage»

section.

• Keep the instrument away from direct exposure to the sun

and keep it in a dust-free, dry area at the temperature

between 16 - 40 °C (60.8 - 104 °F).

• Do not use the thermometer if there are signs of damage on

the measuring tip or on the instrument itself. If damaged,

do not attempt to repair the instrument! Please contact your

nearest Microlife customer service bureau.

• This thermometer consists of high-quality precision parts. Do

not drop the instrument! Protect it from severe impact and

shock. Do not twist the instrument and the measuring probe!

WARNING:

•Use of this thermometer is not intended as a substitute

for consultation with your physician.

• Thermometer is not waterproof! Please NEVER

immerse into liquids!

4. How the Thermometer Measures Body Temperature

The thermometer measures infrared energy radiated from the

skin above of the eyebrow area and the surrounding tissue. This

energy is collected through the lens and converted to a tempera-

ture value.

Temperature readings obtained by scanning above the eyebrow

area will provide the greatest accuracy.

5. Control Displays and Symbols

LCD Display Display Meaning Description

All segments

displayed

Press the O/I button to

turn on the unit, all

segments will be shown

for 2 seconds.

Memory The last reading will be

shown on the display

automatically for

3 seconds.

Ready The unit is ready for

measurement, the °C or

°F icon will keep

flashing.

Measurement

complete

The reading will be

shown on the LCD

display with the °C or °F

icon flashing, the unit is

ready again for the next

measurement.

Low battery

indication

When the unit is turned

on, the battery icon will

keep flashing to remind

the user to replace the

battery.

6. Directions for Use

1. Press the O/I button. The LCD is activated

to show all segments for 2 seconds.

2. The last measurement reading will be

shown on the display automatically for

3 seconds with the «M» icon.

3. When the °C or °F icon is flashing, a beep

sound is heard and the thermometer is

ready for measurement.

4. Place the probe gently onto the area

approximately 1cm above the center of

the eyebrow. If the eyebrow area is

covered with hair, sweat or dirt, please

remove the obstacle beforehand to

improve the reading accuracy.

5. Press the START button once and release

it. Start to move the instrument steadily

from 1cm above the center of the eyebrow

to 1cm above the tail of the eyebrow area. A long beep

sound will emit after 3 seconds to acknowledge the comple-

tion of measurement. If the probe movement is too slow to

reach the tail of the eyebrow before the long beeb sound

heard, repeat the measurement as above from point 4, but

simply move the probe a little quicker this time.

6. Read the recorded temperature from the

LCD display.

IMPORTANT:

• Patients should stay in steady - state room condition for at

least 30 minutes.

• Don't take a measurement while or immediately after

nursing a baby.

• Don't use the forehead thermometer in high humidity

environments.

• Patients should not drink, eat, or exercise before/while

taking the measurement.

• Before placing the thermometer probe onto the measure-

ment area, remove dirt, hair, or sweat.

• Don't move the measurement device from the measuring

area before hearing the termination beep.

• Use an alcohol swab to carefully clean the probe and wait

for 15 minutes before taking a measurement on another

patient.

• 10 short beeps will sound and a red LCD backlight will

illuminate when the temperature is higher than 37.5 °C

(99.5 °F) in order to alert the patient that he/she may have

a temperature above 37.5 °C.

• Always take the temperature in the same location, since the

temperature readings may vary from different locations.

• In the following situations it is recommended that three

temperatures in the same location be taken and the highest

one taken as the reading:

1) New born infants in the first 100 days.

2) Children under three years of age with a compromised

immune system and for whom the presence or absence of

fever is critical.

3) 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.

The thermometer has been clinically tested and proven to

be safe and accurate when used in accordance with its

operating instruction manual.

7. Changing from Fahrenheit to Celsius and vice-versa

The thermometer can display temperature measurements in

either Fahrenheit or Celsius. To switch the display between °C

and °F, simply turn OFF the unit, press and hold the START

button for 5 seconds until «-- -» and the flashing °C or °F icon is

shown on the LCD. Switch the measurement scale between °C

and °F by pressing the START button again. When the measure-

ment scale has been chosen, wait for 5 seconds and the unit

will enter the ready for measuring mode automatically.
