• Use this product only for its intended purpose as described in this manual and
follow all instructions.
• The measurement of temperature using this product does not represent a Doctors
medical examination.
• Consult with your medical professional if any abnormality is found.
• Do not take a temperature measurement over a scar or open tissue.
• Do not expose the product to temperatures below 20oC (68oF) or above 50oC
(122oF) or above humidity of 95% (≥95%RH)
• Do not drop the thermometer as it may cause damage
• Do not take the temperature with this product near heat sources such as in direct
sunlight, near a fireplace or stove.
• Do not use this product if it is not working properly, contact Oricom support.

 Warning

Many people may not have an elevated temperature even if they are ill. In the
following cases please consult your medical professional before using this product.
• Under 90-day-old infants
• People on steroids, antibiotics or antipyretics.
• People with compromised immune systems.

Cautions
• T he reliability of the measurement cannot be guaranteed if the temperature is
measured from parts of body that are not recommended (anywhere other than the
forehead or behind the earlobe).
• Similar to other thermometers, measurement error may occur within a range of ±
0.2oC ( ± 0.4oF)
• Measurement should not be taken until completely relaxed at normal room
temperature.
• Please note that measurement may be incorrect after exercising, bathing or getting
wet in the rain.
• Temperature between right and left forehead could be different.
• Measurement may be incorrect when low battery ( ) signal is indicated. Replace
the battery and re-measure.
• When measuring the temperature of a liquid (milk, water) place the probe as close
as possible to the liquid but ensure that it is not immersed into the liquid as this
may damage your thermometer.
• Check your product regularly for damage and exhausted batteries.

NOTE:
ASTM laboratory accuracy requirements in the display range of 22 to
40°C(71.6°F to 104.0°F) for IR thermometers is ±0.3°C(±0.5°F), whereas
for mercuryin-glass and electronic thermometers, the requirement per ASTM
Standards E 667-86 and E 1112-86 is ±0.1°C(±0.2°F)

5
Warning

Simple Operation Principle

The body temperature is reflected on the temporal artery.
• T emporal artery is the artery located closest to the skin and is spread on the
forehead. If the blood with body temperature reflection passes the temporal
artery on forehead, corresponding amount of infrared rays will be generated.
From the infrared rays, the body temperature can be measured.
• This product is a contactless type thermometer and does not make
direct contact with forehead.
The temperature measurement can be taken 2 to 3cm away from the
body or object.
• This will decrease discomfort or possible infections caused by touch.

How to Take a Temperature

Normal

Measurement Point

NOTE:
Temperature readings may vary according to the location of measurement from
forehead to temple. Therefore we recommend to measure the temperature at
more than 2 points on the forehead.
Use the highest temperature rating as the most accurate reading.

Sweating

Measurement Point

behind the ear lobe

NOTE:
If sweating on the forehead is present we recommend changing the
measurement point to behind the earlobe.

How to Take a Temperature

Temperature Ranges
Body temperature means internal temperature of body. Normal temperature
even in a healthy person can vary within a small range. The temperature of a
person measured in the evening is normally 0.5oC higher than early morning
and is also affected by the environment, time and activity. Refer to the table
below to find out the normal body temperature ranges.
Normal temperature range at various parts of body
Armpit 34.7 ~ 37.3oC (94.5 ~ 99.1oF)
Mouth 35.5 ~ 37.5oC (95.9 ~ 99.5oF)
Rectum 36.6 ~ 38.0oC (97.9 ~ 100.4oF)
Ear 35.8 ~ 38.0oC (96.4 ~ 100.4oF)
Normal temperature range by age
0 ~ 2age 36.4 ~ 38.0oC (94.5 ~ 100.4oF)
3 ~ 10age 36.1 ~ 37.8oC (97.0 ~ 100.0oF)
11 ~ 65age 35.9 ~ 37.6oC (96.6 ~ 99.7oF)
Above 65age 35.8 ~ 37.5oC (96.4 ~ 99.5oF)
• N
 ormal body temperature can vary between individuals it is recommended that
you record your body temperature when you are healthy as a reference point.
• Using your thermometer
- Measuring Body Temperature
Switch to body temperature measuring mode, and check the body temperature
on the temple area at a distance of 2 to 3cm.
- Measuring Bathing Water Temperature
Switch to daily wide temperature measuring mode, and check the water
temperature by aiming the thermometer at a distance of 2 to 3cm from the
water. Be careful not to get water on the Thermometer.
- Measuring the Nursing Bottle
Switch to daily wide temperature measuring mode, and check the temperature
by aiming the thermometer at a distance of 2 to 3cm from the babies bottle.
