Locate the ‘Mode’ button on the side of the thermometer. Press the button until you find your desired temperature taking mode for Body or Food/Liquid use. There are 4 modes. For Body or Food/Liquid daytime use, you will hear a beep and the display will light up. For Body or Food/Liquid nighttime use, the beep is muted. A ‘moon’ symbol appears in nighttime mode.

The correct temperature taking distance/position is approximately 1 inch (2.5 cm) from the center of the child’s forehead with the sensor aimed between the eyebrows.

When using the thermometer in Food/Liquid mode, the lighted display will always be GREEN regardless of temperature reading. After you get a temperature reading in Food/Liquid mode, ensure that the food or liquid is at a safe temperature for your baby.

No, the thermometer can only be used for the forehead, aimed between the eyebrows and not touching the skin.

The thermometer is FDA CLEARED which means that the thermometer is like other similar thermometers already legally sold in the US market, that have been FDA approved.

While the thermometer can work outside, it is not recommended because there are many outside variables that impact the ambient temperature and the temperature reading. This thermometer is meant for indoor use and before taking a temperature, should be acclimated to room temperature for 30 minutes.

No. Do not use the thermometer on pets.

The thermometer may be out of the correct temperature taking range. If out of range, the display will flash, and the thermometer will beep until the correct distance is achieved. The correct temperature taking distance/position is approximately 1 inch (2.5 cm) from the center of the child’s forehead with the sensor aimed between the eyebrows.

The thermometer has an accuracy tolerance of 0.5°F so variation within a half degree is normal. Use the highest reading to communicate with a physician.

There is no single universal \"normal\" body temperature for everyone at all times. Consult a physician for more information.

The batteries may need to be replaced. Check for the low battery indicator symbol. Another reason could be that the temperature is measuring lower than the measurement range.•Body Temperature:93.2°F (34°C)•Food/Liquid Temperature:32.0°F (0°C)

Clean the measurement sensor with an alcohol swab before and after each measurement.

There may not be batteries in the thermometer, the batteries may need to be replaced or the batteries may have been inserted incorrectly. Check for the low battery indicator symbol and that the batteries are inserted correctly.

2 x 1.5V alkaline AAA (LR03) batteries.

No, the thermometer can only be used with the stated batteries - 2 x 1.5V alkaline AAA (LR03) batteries. If rechargeable batteries are accidentally used the display will show \"battery low\" or \"lo\" on the display.

Approximately 90 minutes or 1300 readings, but it depends on the quality of the batteries used.

Infrared Technology works by taking a thermal scan of skin temperature. A person's body temperature can be measured at a distance without the discomfort of having to sit still with a thermometer in the mouth, armpit, or other areas long enough to obtain a correct temperature reading. It’s easy and fast with a high degree of accuracy. Also, the non-contact infrared method of temperature taking means less spreading of germs among family members.

Yes, and it is allowed and cleared by the FDA whose primary responsibility is to regulate food, drugs, medical devices and cosmetics.

With batteries, the thermometer weighs 3.07 ounces or 87g. The Instruction manual shows 4.2 ounces or 120g but is unfortunately misprinted.
