Bebe Confort No touch thermometer - Manual (Page 25)

4 - FOREHEAD MEDICAL THERMOMETER MODE
A/ Method
• Briefly press and release the MEASURE button. The
device switches on and initially performs an auto test by
displaying all the screen elements, Figure 1, and then
indicates that is ready by briefly being backlit Figure 2.
• Press the MEASURE button again and hold it down, gently
moving the thermometer towards the temporal area
(preferably) or the centre of the forehead. From the right
distance (around 4 to 8cm) the radar automatically initiates
the measurement.
• When you hear a short beep indicating that the
measurement has been taken, release the MEASURE
button. The temperature is displayed with backlighting for 3
seconds.
B/ Interpretation by the thermometer
• Temperature below 38°C: a little smiling face is displayed
at the bottom of the screen (figure 3)
• Temperature equal to or above 38°C: fever signal, 1 long
beep / 2 short beeps and red light signal. Then a sad little face
appears (figure 4)
All the values displayed in forehead thermometer mode are
more or less the same as a rectal temperature.
C/ Switch off
The device automatically switches off after 30 seconds.
D/ Advice and specific precautions
To avoid obtaining an inaccurate measurement, please take the following specific precautions:
• Do not use the forehead thermometer in an environment which is damp, excessively hot or cold, draughty
or overly ventilated.
• Ensure the skin of the forehead is completely dry, clean, bare and not covered in sweat or by hair.
• Always take the temperature in the same place and in the areas recommended.
• Please be aware that a physiological phenomenon called vasoconstriction can happen in the early stages
of a fever. It manifests itself externally by relatively cold skin. This means that any forehead thermometer can
give abnormally low readings.
• Finally if the forehead temperature displayed does not appear to match the baby or child’s state, please
use a classic electronic thermometer. Please note that an increase or reduction in rectal temperature often
lags slightly behind the forehead temperature since the forehead is closer to the hypothalamus which
regulates the body’s temperature.
5 - HOUSEHOLD THERMOMETER MODE
A/ Method
• Switch on the thermometer by pressing the MEASURE
button
once.
• Briefly press the selection button when two zeros appear and ensure
that you are in object mode confirmed by the little cube
at the top
right of the screen.
• Press the MEASURE button and without releasing it, point the
thermometer towards the object from a distance of 4 to 8cm.
• Then release the MEASURE button. A brief beep signals that the temperature has been taken which is
backlit for 3 seconds.
B/ Advice and specific precautions
• The surface temperature can be very different from the temperature in the centre of the bottle, bath or
soup. To avoid any problems, ensure all liquids are stirred thoroughly before being measured.
• For the examples given, take the temperature as quickly as possible to avoid condensation forming on the
sensor or radar. Then wait around 30 minutes before using it again.
