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

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.
6
• 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.
