Taking Measurements with the Microlife Thermo+
Before Taking a Measurement
• Do not drink or eat directly before or during a measurement, and avoid any
physical exertion.
• The thermometer and the patient must remain in a xed environment for at
least 30 minutes.
• Do not take a baby’s temperature during or directly after breast-feeding.
• Make sure that the measurement area is clean. Remove any dirt, hairs, or
sweat before moving the sensor to the measuring position.
• Do not operate in the vicinity of strong transmitters, such as microwave and
shortwave appliances, and keep a minimum distance of about 30 cm from
wireless devices.
☞Acclimatizing the Device to Room Temperature
The Microlife Thermo+ Infrared Thermometer must adapt to the ambient
temperature in order to measure body temperature precisely. This process
occurs automatically. However, it may take more than 30 minutes for the
thermometer to equalize its own temperature to that of the room, depending
on the temperature difference. Precise readings can only be taken once this
process has been completed.
Taking a Measurement
• Open the «Microlife Thermo+» app automatically by connecting the
thermometer to the iOS device.Alternatively, click on the app displayed on
the iOS device screen.
• Select the measurement mode: Body Temperature or Object Temperature.
• Press «Start» to begin.
• Place the thermometer’s sensor within 5 cm of the forehead or object.
Acountdown to the measurement will begin (only in Body Temperature
Mode). Once the countdown has been completed, a blue LED light will light
up on the thermometer.
• The measurement starts when the thermometer vibrates and beeps for the
rst time.
• The measurement is completed when the thermometer vibrates and beeps
again.
Note: The Microlife Thermo+ Infrared Thermometer allows you to take both
body and object temperature.
Body Temperature Mode: Used to take the temperature of your core body
temperature through your forehead. The thermometer measures infrared
energy that radiates from the forehead.
7
Interpreting the Measurement Results
Object Temperature Mode: Used to take the temperature of objects, such as
liquids or surfaces, or the ambient temperature. The thermometer measures
infrared energy that radiates from an object.
During Measurement
• To take a measurement on the forehead, place the thermometer’s sensor
near the forehead (within 5 cm). Move the thermometer from the center of
the forehead to the temple within 3 seconds. If this is not possible, repeat the
measurement for an accurate reading.
• Do not remove the thermometer from the measuring position until it has
beeped to signal the end of the reading.
Note: Temperature readings obtained by scanning above the eyebrow area will
provide the greatest accuracy.
Selecting the Temperature Metric
Go to «Settings» and select «Change Metric» to change ºC to ºF or vice versa.
• The result - High, Good, or Low - will be displayed on your iOS device’s
screen.
• Results are based on the values set by the user or on the thermometer’s
default values.
• An alert alarm will sound when the body temperature is higher than 37.5 ºC
/ 99.5 ºF (by default), indicating the possibility of fever. If you set your own
values, the alert alarm will be based on the new values that have been set.
• Do not compare readings taken from different parts of the body, in different
locations, or at different times, since normal body temperature varies
depending on the body area, environment, and time of day.
Normal body temperature ranges:
• Axillary: 34.7 - 37.7 °C / 94.5 - 99.1 °F
• Oral: 35.5 - 37.5 °C / 95.9 - 99.5 °F
• Rectal: 36.6 - 38.0 °C / 97.9 - 100.4 °F
• Microlife Thermo+ Infrared Thermometer: 35.4 - 37.4 °C / 95.7 - 99.3 °F
Note:
• Body temperature is highest in the evening
• Body temperature is lowest one hour before waking up.
