5. To begin the measurement, point the sensor at the middle of the patient's forehead
at a distance of no more than 5 cm. If the patient's forehead has hair, sweat or dirt
on it, remove this first so that the reading is as accurate as possible.
6. Press and hold the START button. The blue light switches on to illuminate the
area where you are taking the measurement.
7. Now move the thermometer smoothly over the patient's eyebrow from the forehead
to the temple to measure the maximum temperature. While the sensor scans this
area, you will hear slow beeps at first. As soon as the thermometer measures higher
temperatures, the beeps speed up. The sequence of beeps then slows down to in-
dicate that the maximum temperature has been recorded.
8. As soon as this happens, release the START button.
- If the reading is at or above the fever level, you will hear 10 short beeps, and the
backlight of the display will be red to indicate that the patient may have a fever.
NOTE
The body temperature which is classed as a fever (fever level) varies
depending on body location where it is measured
Reference body location

Finally, the last registered reading is displayed along with the M
symbol (M = memory) for 2 seconds.
When you hear a short beep and the symbol for the measuring
units °C is shown along with the symbol for the reference body
location, the thermometer is ready for use.
- If the reading is below the fever level, you will hear a long beep
and the backlight of the display will be green.
When the °C symbol flashes again after 2 seconds, the thermome-
ter is ready for another reading.
