To use the HoMedics No-Touch Thermometer properly,
please read the following:
1) The forehead of the person should be clean and dry.
Oils, cosmetics and perspiration can cause the
thermometer to measure a lower than actual temperature.
2) The person should be calm and sitting or standing still
when temperature is measured. Allow the person to sit
and rest for 30 minutes after the following activities and
before taking a temperature measurement:
•The person has exercised or exerted him/herself
•The person has been exposed to extreme cold or heat
•The person has had a cold or hot compress on
forehead
•The person has been wearing a hat or scarf
•The person has been engaging in activities that may
affect the normal temperature of the forehead such as
showering, drying hair, etc.
3) The lens of the HoMedics No-Touch Thermometer should
be clean and dry. Clean with a cotton swab
dipped in rubbing alcohol. Squeeze swab to remove
excess liquid. Excess moisture could damage the
thermometer.
4) The temperature measurement should be taken in a
draft free room with temperature between 61°F — 95°F
(16°C — 35°C).
5) The thermometer should not come in direct contact
with any part of the subject’s body.
