1) The thermometer should be in the environment (room/house) where measurement will take place 20-25 minutes prior to measurement. For best results, the person whose temperature is being taken should be in the same room for 5 minutes before the measurement is taken. NOTE: The room temperature must be within the operating range of 16°C to 36°C. If the room temperature is outside this range the LCD screen will display Er2 and the device cannot be used. Refer to Troubleshooting on page 9.

2) Always clean the temples & forehead from sweat, makeup, etc. and wait a few minutes before measurement.

3) To remove your No Touch Themometer from its plastic stand, hold the upper region of the device (where the plastic stand has a groove on the side) and gently pull it out.

4) Press and release the “ON” button once only and wait for the message “READY” to appear. The LCD screen displays the room temperature and the “READY” sign.
NOTE: When LCD displays READY device is activated. There is no need to press the ON button again. Repeated pressing on the ON button, while the device is activated will result in error Er4.

5) Place the thermometer’s soft tip above the left side of the left eyebrow (or the right side of the right eyebrow) and scan the temple region only as close as possible (Scan at a distance of no more then 2.5 cm* 1 inch max) without touching, ensuring that any hair or make up is moved away prior to scanning, you can touch, it will not impact the accuracy. The thermometer will generate a gentle ticking sound indicating that the thermometer is in the process of scanning. DO NOT remove the device from the temple region during the ticking sound. A long beep sound will be heard when scanning is complete.

6) Read the temperature on the display.

7) Allow the No Touch Thermometer to switch off automatically (approximately 1 minute after no activity is detected). There is no OFF switch, this is the ONLY way in which the thermometer can be switched off.

IMPORTANT:
Avoid taking a measurement for 30 minutes after physical exercise, bathing or eating.
For repeated measurements, before scanning the same person again, wait at least 2 minutes and always scan the same temple.

DO NOT compare No Touch Thermometer readings with any other method. Tympanic (ear) thermometers in particular may show different temperature readings as you change the position of the thermometer in the ear.
The NoTouch displayed temperature is equivalent to oral temperature (an oral temperature is normally O.5°C lower then a rectal reading and O.5°C higher then an axillary (underarm) reading). This is based on the average population. For some people it may be different and it is recommended to learn and recognize the temple temperature while healthy.

*COMMENT: Any distance from full contact to 2.5cm (1 inch) provides correct measurements.

REMEMBER: The NoTouch Thermometer should not be a substitute for any medical care.
